Re: [Lynx-dev] xhtml file extensions

[Travis Siegel]

I was noticing (and wondering) the same thing.  Renaming the files to 
.html works just fine, but as mentioned, unless we want to change all the 
links in the files, it's kind of a nonstarter.  I tried to scan the source 
code to see where it handles xhtml files, but I couldn't find the actual 
behavior for the difference between xhtml and html, I was hoping I could 
just replace one function call with another one, but no luck on that 
front. :)
