Hotlinks like Yahoo!'s bold links
Hi guys,
First of all - this script is GREAT! thank you!

Then, I have a question for you. I don't know if it's possible, but I haven't been able to find anything about it.

If you look at Yahoo!, you'll notice some of the links are bold - like the official links. It would be great, if it was possible to do the same thing in Links, but I'm not sure if it's possible?

If not, you might consider it for the next version?

Thanks,

Jesper

Yes, LINKS2 does offer this function.

Go to your links.cfg file.

Set the following codes to "1":

$search_bold

Example:

Code:
# Return search results bolded (1 = yes, 0 = no).

$search_bold = 1;

Also, it would be wise of you to thoroughly read through the README file to verify all configurable variables. (Or read the FAQ pages within this web site.)

Smile

I'm not sure if Jesper is referring to the bold keywords in a search result. What exactly are "official links"? I see that "Auctions" and "Messenger" are in bold type on the Yahoo homepage. Is that what you are referring to? If it is, you can easily do it with templates or site_html.pl.
