ELINKS.CONF(5)

NAME
elinks.conf - ELinks configuration file

DESCRIPTION

The elinks.conf file contains configuration information for ELinks. It can be used to configure the behaviour of ELinks in a wide variety of ways: protocol behaviour, keybindings, colors used for rendering and for the user interface.

It is read at startup and saved only when requested. All options described in this document can be fully configured from within ELinks so no editing of elinks.conf is needed.

Note that MIME-related options used for specifying handlers of various MIME types are NOT described in this document. Documentation for these options can be found at the ELinks homepage. Keybindings can also be specified in elinks.conf. This is described in the elinkskeys(5) man page.

SYNTAX

The syntax of the configuration file is very simple. The elinks.conf file is a free-form ASCII text file. The file may contain extra tabs and newlines for formatting purposes. Keywords in the file are case-sensitive. Comments may be placed anywhere within the file (except within quotes). Comments begin with the # character and end at the end of the line.

EXAMPLES
Some sample settings:

    # Use asynchronous DNS resolver?
    set connection.async_dns = 1
    # horizontal text margin.
    set document.browse.margin_width = 3
    # Default document codepage.
    set document.codepage.assume = "ISO-8859-1"
    # User defined protocol handlers
    set protocol.user.mailto.unix = "mutt %h -s "%s""

OPTIONS

  Bookmarks (bookmarks)
Bookmark options.

bookmarks.file_format <num> (default: 0)
    File format for bookmarks (affects both reading and saving):
    0   is the default ELinks (Links 0.9x compatible) format
    1   is XBEL universal XML bookmarks format (NO NATIONAL CHARS SUPPORT!)

  Configuration system (config)
Configuration handling options.

config.comments <num> (default: 3)
    Amount of comments automatically written to the config file:
    0   is no comments are written
    1   is only the "blurb" (name+type) is written
    2   is only the description is written
    3   is full comments are written

config.indentation <num> (default: 2)
    Shift width of one indentation level in the configuration file. Zero means that no indentation is performed at all when saving the configuration.

config.saving_style <num> (default: 3)
    Determines what happens when you tell ELinks to save options:
    0   is only values of current options are altered
    1   is values of current options are altered and missing options are added at the end of the file
    2   is the configuration file is rewritten from scratch

config.i18n [0|1] (default: 0)
    If set to 1, comments in the configuration file will be translated to the language used by UI.

    Memory cache size (in bytes).

document.cache.cache_redirects [0|1] (default: 0)
    Cache even redirects sent by server (usually thru HTTP by a 302 HTTP code and a Location header). This was the original behaviour for a quite some time, but it causes problems in a situation very common to various web login systems - frequently, when accessing certain location, they will redirect you to a login page if they don't receive an auth cookie, the login page then gives you the cookie and redirects you back to the original page, but there you have already cached redirect back to the login page! If this option has value of 0, this malfunction is fixed, but occasionally you may get superfluous (depends on how you take it ;-) requests to the server. If this option has value of 1, experienced users can still workaround it by clever combination of usage of reload, jumping around in session history and hitting ctrl+enter. Note that this option is checked when retrieving the information from cache, not when saving it to cache - thus if you will enable it, even previous redirects will be taken from cache instead of asking the server.

document.cache.ignore_cache_control [0|1] (default: 1)
    Ignore Cache-Control and Pragma server headers. When set, the document is cached even with 'Cache-Control: no-cache'.

    Allow dark colors on black background.

document.colors.ensure_contrast [0|1] (default: 1)

    Use colors specified in document:
    0   is use always the default settings
    1   is use document colors if available, except background
    2   is use document colors, including background. This can look really impressive mostly, but few sites look really ugly there (unfortunately including slashdot (but try to let him serve you that 'plain' version and the world will suddenly become a much more happy place for life)). Note that obviously if the background isn't black, it will break transparency, if you have it enabled for your terminal and on your terminal.

protocol.http.proxy.passwd <str> (default: "")
    Proxy authentication password.

  Referer sending (protocol.http.referer)
HTTP referer sending options. HTTP referer is a special header sent in the HTTP requests, which is supposed to contain the previous page visited by the browser. This way, the server can know what link did you follow when accessing that page. However, this behaviour can unfortunately considerably affect privacy and can lead even to a security problem on some badly designed web pages.

protocol.http.referer.policy <num> (default: 3)
    Mode of sending HTTP referer:
    0   is send no referer
    1   is send current URL as referer
    2   is send fixed fake referer
    3   is send previous URL as referer (correct, but insecure)

protocol.http.accept_ui_language [0|1] (default: 1)
    Request localised versions of documents from web-servers (using the Accept-Language header) using the language you have configured for ELinks' user-interface. Note that some see this as a potential security risk because it tells web-masters about your preference in language.

protocol.http.trace [0|1] (default: 0)
    If active, all HTTP requests are sent with TRACE as their method rather than GET or POST. This is useful for debugging of both ELinks and various server-side scripts --- the server only returns the client's request back to the client verbatim. Note that this type of request may not be enabled on all servers.

protocol.http.user_agent <str> (default: "ELinks/%v (textmode; %s; %t)")
    Change the User Agent ID. That means identification string, which is sent to HTTP server when a document is requested. %v in the string means ELinks version %s in the string means system identification %t in the string means size of the terminal Use " " if you don't want any User-Agent header to be sent at all.

  HTTPS (protocol.https)
HTTPS-specific options.

  Proxy configuration (protocol.https.proxy)
HTTPS proxy configuration.

Options for mailcap support. (Deprecated. Please use mime.mailcap instead)

  URI rewriting (protocol.rewrite)
Rules for rewriting URIs entered in the goto dialog. It makes it possible to define a set of prefixes that will be expanded if they match a string entered in the goto dialog. The prefixes can be dumb, meaning that they work only like URI abbreviations, or smart ones, making it possible to pass arguments to them like search engine keywords.

  Dumb Prefixes (protocol.rewrite.dumb)
Dumb prefixes.

protocol.rewrite.dumb._template_ <str> (default: "")
    Replacement URI for this dumbprefix. %c in the string means the current URL %% in the string means '%'

  Smart Prefixes (protocol.rewrite.smart)
Smart prefixes.

protocol.rewrite.smart._template_ <str> (default: "")
    Replacement URI for this smartprefix. %c in the string means the current URL %s in the string means the whole argument to smartprefix %0,%1,...,%9 means argument 0, 1, ..., 9 %% in the string means '%'

protocol.rewrite.enable-dumb [0|1] (default: 1)
    Enable dumb prefixes.

protocol.rewrite.enable-smart [0|1] (default: 1)
    Enable smart prefixes.

  User protocols (protocol.user)
User protocols. Options in this tree specify external handlers for the appropriate protocols. Ie. protocol.user.mailto.unix.

  Template option folder (protocol.user._template_)
Handler (external program) for this protocol. Name the options in this tree after your system (ie. unix, unix-xwin).

protocol.user._template_._template_ <str> (default: "")
    Handler (external program) for this protocol and system. %h in the string means hostname (or email address) %p in the string means port %d in the string means path (everything after the port) %s in the string means subject (?subject=<this>) %u in the string means the whole URL

protocol.no_proxy <str> (default: "")
    Comma separated list of domains for which the proxy (HTTP/FTP) should be disabled. Optionally, a port can be specified for some domains as well. If it's blank, NO_PROXY environment variable is checked as well.

  Terminals (terminal)
Terminal options.

  Template option folder (terminal._template_)
Options specific to this terminal type (according to $TERM value).

terminal._template_.type <num> (default: 0)
    Terminal type; matters mostly only when drawing frames and dialog box borders:
    0   is dumb terminal type, ASCII art
    1   is VT100, simple but portable
    2   is Linux, you get double frames and other goodies
    3   is KOI-8
    4   is FreeBSD

terminal._template_.m11_hack [0|1] (default: 0)
    Switch fonts when drawing lines, enabling both local characters and lines working at the same time. Makes sense only with linux terminal.

terminal._template_.utf_8_io [0|1] (default: 0)
    Enable I/O in UTF8 for Unicode terminals. Note that currently, only the subset of UTF8 according to terminal codepage is used.

terminal._template_.restrict_852 [0|1] (default: 0)
    Restrict the characters used when drawing lines. Makes sense only with linux terminals using the cp850/852 character sets.

terminal._template_.block_cursor [0|1] (default: 0)
    Move cursor to bottom right corner when done drawing. This is particularly useful when we have a block cursor, so that inversed text is displayed correctly.

terminal._template_.colors <num> (default: 0)
    The color mode controls what colors are used and how they are output to the terminal. The color modes are:
    0   is mono mode, only 2 colors are used
    1   is 16 color mode, uses the common ANSI colors
    2   is 256 color mode, requires that xterm-256color TERM is used

terminal._template_.transparency [0|1] (default: 1)
    If we should not set the background to black. This is particularly useful when we have a terminal (typically in some windowing environment) with a background image or a transparent background - it will be visible in ELinks as well. Note that this option makes sense only when colors are enabled.

terminal._template_.underline [0|1] (default: 0)
    If we should use underline or enhance the color instead.

terminal._template_.charset <codepage> (default: 7-bit ASCII)
    Codepage of charset used for displaying content on terminal.

    Language of user interface. System means that the language will be extracted from the environment dynamically.

    Set the window title when running in a windowing environment in an xterm-like terminal. This way the document's title is shown on the window titlebar.

secure_file_saving [0|1] (default: 1)
    First write data to unique temporary file, then rename this file upon successfully finishing this. Note that this relates only to config files, not downloaded files. You may want to disable it if you are using some exotic permissions for concerned files. Secure file saving is automagically disabled if file is symlink. Warning: some systems (ie. OS/2, Win32) require that destination file doesn't exist when rename() is called, breaking atomicity, and reducing reliability of this feature.
