Re: lynx-dev table formatting (possible) solution

[Hiroyuki Senshu]

The one way of solving it is proposed toward the argument
about the following TABLE.

Text Web browser which is similar to Lynx exists in Japan.

The name is said as w3m.

URL: http://ei5nazha.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp/~aito/w3m/index.html

TABLE is interpreted by 2 pass, and w3m does the indication
which is far easy to see in comparison with Lynx.

An example is given to it in the following.

----------- w3m Example (TABEL display) ------------
+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
|              |  CPU mode    |  MD2(Pin75)  |  MD1(Pin74)  |  MD0(Pin73)  |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
|    Normal    |    mode１    |      0V      |      0V      |      5V      |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
|    Normal    |    mode２    |      0V      |      5V      |      0V      |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
|    Normal    |    mode 3    |      0V      |      5V      |      5V      |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
|    Normal    |    mode 4    |      5V      |      0V      |      0V      |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
|    Normal    |    mode 5    |      5V      |      0V      |      5V      |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
|    Normal    |    mode 6    |      5V      |      5V      |      0V      |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
|    Normal    |    mode 7    |      5V      |      5V      |      5V      |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
|  boot mode   |    mode 5    |     12V      |      0V      |      5V      |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
|  boot mode   |    mode 6    |     12V      |      5V      |      0V      |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
|  boot mode   |    mode 7    |     12V      |      5V      |      5V      |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+

Compare it with the indication of Lynx.

And, make is made of various UNIX like OSs, cygwin,
and so on easily in w3m.

w3m being written in the C language is compact.

By all means, evaluate w3m.
