Are we aiming more in the direction of 2 or 2.1 (or their intersection)?

In any case we could add an id like this: <body id="dillo_sv"> to the source view page, so people can adjust it in style.css, e.g: body#dillo_sv pre {white-space: pre-wrap}

Just a thought I had. The web is filled with horrible generated html with lines a thousand characters long. With this (and parse_embedded_css), those lines become more tolerable. I would commit it in two pieces, of course.

That would be an easy alternative, but I'm investigating how much effort it would be to properly implement the CSS dynmic pseudo classes (:hover, :active, :focus). :focus basically defines how a selected element should look like. E.g: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> :focus {border: 1px solid green} </style> </head> <body> <a href="foo">foo</a> <a href="bar">bar</a> </body> works in firefox and shows a green border around the currently selected link. With :active anything in the style can be changed, not just the colors.

Maybe the focused link can use a highlighting layer in Textblock to show it in inverse video rather than dealing with html and link colors.

The main problem - apart from code style - is how to restore the original color of the link once anotherone has been selected. This is not working properly with this patch, but it's a start. You can switch from one link to the next with <Tab>. Cheers, Johannes

I don't think I have a strong opinion on 'general' vs. > 'unnecessary exposure' on this issue yet. Good point. Let's start with getLinkNo() and switch to getStyle() once we actually need another style member.

Right, either that, or a bit more general a getStyle() method, that would return the style at the current position (including x_link). But then how would we implement visual feedback? We probabely want to highlight the currently selected link somehow. We could for now use changeLinkColor(). What do you think?
