More nnslashdot

More nnslashdot

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

nnslashdot now delivers text/html and Gnus lets w3 worry about
formatting the articles.

And you can now actually put nnslashdot in your secondary server list.

Bye-bye Netscape.

Although I think I would like to follow the links in the articles with 
Netscape.  How does one say to w3 "follow this link by doing the
`browse-url' thing?"

This might work, but i have no idea what other consequences it might have
when using Emacs/W3 normally.

Uhm; that was a bit more drastic than I imagined.  :-)  What I would
like was when I hit, like, mouse-3, that I would get a menu that would 
let me feed the url to Netscape or something like that.  I still want
to be able to use w3 as a self-contained browser.

Oh, well, that'd be something completely different then. :)

(push '("Open link with browse-url" . browse-url) w3-hyperlink-menu)
(push '("Open image with browse-url" . browse-url) w3-graphlink-menu)

Hm.  But I get

button3 at that spot runs the command widget-button-click

which doesn't bring up a menu; it just fetches the page.  Perhaps the
local keymap over the widget doesn't include this?

Is my w3 too old?  "WWW 4.0pre.39, URL p4.0pre.39, MM 1.96".

(Erm -- I'm sure there is a w3 mailing list, which I should probably
join and stuff.  What's the address?)

w3 renders the output from nnslashdot really, really nicely -- except
that it renders <br><br> like it should be rendered -- a line break.
While what's probably intended by the slashdot html engine is <p>.
This makes some of the messages rather hard to read, since one can't
see where the paragraphs begin easily.

Is there a way to make w3 transmogrify a <br><br> into a <p>?  (Well,
I could just have nnslashdot do it, really, I guess...)
