[Lynx-dev] lynx 2.8.7dev5 and damaged characters

[Virden, Larry W.]

I have been told that yet again, attempts to use lynx 2.8.7dev5
on the page updating function of http://wiki.tcl.tk/18152 has resulted in the
page being damaged.  Here's a diff of the change - my "real" change
was some text added to the bottom of the page (and a blank line
added to the top of the page).

What I have provided here is a gdiff -U1 of the before and after
of the change. All other changes - white spacing, etc. - were
changes that lynx made to the page on its own.

This doesn't give lynx a very good reputation...

You can see the originals of the pages at http://wiki.tcl.tk/_history/18152

 [DKF] ''18 May 2007'': At last, after a long hiatus, I've had enough time to 
finish getting the code smashed into shape as a loadable [TEA] extension. It 
works for me (as in: successfully runs the test suite) on both Windows and 
Linux (built with gcc on both) as long as you're using a recent-enough version 
of Tcl (i.e. more recent than 8.5a6; there was an internal API that had to be 
modified to prevent crashes when [info frame] was used inside a method). Right 
now, there's no distribution, but you can check it out of [cvs] using:

+So, what is the purpose of this code? Is the intention that people will write 
Tcl object oriented code with this extension? Or is it intended to be a 
framework for existing and future OO extensions to be more powerful?
