ELINKS.CONF(5) ELinks configuration file ELINKS.CONF(5)NAMEelinks.conf - ELinks configuration file
SYNOPSIS
set <option> = <value>
unset <option>
bind "<keymap>" "<key>" = "<action>"
include "<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 elinkskeys(5).
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
Bookmark options.
bookmarks.file_format <num> (default: 0)
File format for bookmarks (affects both reading and saving):
· 0: is the default native ELinks format
· 1: is XBEL universal XML bookmarks format (NO NATIONAL CHARS
SUPPORT!)
bookmarks.folder_state [0|1] (default: 1)
When saving bookmarks also store whether folders are expanded or
not, so the look of the bookmark dialog is kept across ELinks
sessions. If disabled all folders will appear unexpanded next time
ELinks is run.
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
· 3: is values of current options are altered and missing options
CHANGED during this ELinks session are added at the end of the
file
config.i18n [0|1] (default: 0)
If set to 1, comments in the configuration file will be translated
to the language used by UI. Note that if you have different
language set in different terminals, the language used in the
configuration file MAY be the same as on the terminal where you
saved the file, but it should be generally considered
unpredictable.
config.saving_style_w [0|1] (default: 0)
This is internal option used when displaying a warning about
obsolete config.saving_style. You shouldn´t touch it.
config.show_template [0|1] (default: 0)
Show template options in autocreated trees in the options manager
and save them to the configuration file.
connection
Connection options.
connection.ssl
SSL options.
connection.ssl.client_cert
X509 client certificate options.
connection.ssl.client_cert.enable [0|1] (default: 0)
Enable or not the sending of X509 client certificates to servers
which request them.
connection.ssl.client_cert.file <str> (default: "")
The location of a file containing the client certificate and
unencrypted private key in PEM format. If unset, the file pointed
to by the X509_CLIENT_CERT variable is used instead.
connection.ssl.cert_verify [0|1] (default: 0)
Verify the peer´s SSL certificate. Note that this needs extensive
configuration of OpenSSL by the user.
connection.async_dns [0|1] (default: 1)
Whether to use asynchronous DNS resolving.
connection.max_connections <num> (default: 10)
Maximum number of concurrent connections.
connection.max_connections_to_host <num> (default: 2)
Maximum number of concurrent connections to a given host.
connection.receive_timeout <num> (default: 120)
Receive timeout (in seconds).
connection.retries <num> (default: 3)
Number of tries to establish a connection. Zero means try forever.
connection.try_ipv4 [0|1] (default: 1)
Whether to try to connect to a host over IPv4. Note that if
connection.try_ipv6 is enabled too, it takes precedence. And better
do not touch this at all unless you are sure what are you doing.
Note that you can also force a given protocol to be used on a
per-connection basis by using a URL in the style of e.g.
http4://elinks.cz/.
connection.try_ipv6 [0|1] (default: 1)
Whether to try to connect to a host over IPv6. Note that you can
also force a given protocol to be used on a per-connection basis by
using a URL in the style of e.g. http6://elinks.cz/.

given number of days
cookies.paranoid_security [0|1] (default: 0)
When enabled, we´ll require three dots in cookies domain for all
non-international domains (instead of just two dots). Some
countries have generic second level domains (eg. .com.pl, .co.uk)
and allowing sites to set cookies for these generic domains could
potentially be very bad. Note, it is off by default as it breaks a
lot of sites.
cookies.save [0|1] (default: 1)

an access key is pressed, the corresponding element will be given
focus.
document.browse.accesskey.auto_follow [0|1] (default: 0)
Automatically follow a link or submit a form if appropriate
accesskey is pressed - this is the standard behaviour, but it´s
considered dangerous.

Default form input size if none is specified.
document.browse.forms.insert_mode [0|1] (default: 1)
The setting for this option affects how key presses are handled
when one selects a text-input form-field. When enabled, one must
explicitly ´enter´ a selected text-field to edit it; this prevents
text fields from capturing key presses, such as presses of a scroll
key, when it is inadvertently selected. When disabled, key presses
are always inserted into a selected text field.
document.browse.forms.editor <str> (default: "")
Path to the executable that ELinks should launch when the user
requests to edit a textarea with an external editor. If this is
blank, ELinks will use the value of the environmental variable
$EDITOR. If $EDITOR is empty or not set, ELinks will then default
to "vi".

Start typeahead searching when an unbound key is pressed without
any modifiers. Note that most keys have default bindings, so this
feature will not be useful unless you unbind them.
when you (when you press a key bound to search-typeahead or similar)
1 automatically starts typeahead searching thru link text 2
automatically starts typeahead searching thru all document text
document.browse.margin_width <num> (default: 3)
Horizontal text margin.
document.browse.refresh [0|1] (default: 1)
Automatically follow document-specified refresh directives (<meta>
refresh tags). Web-page authors use these to instruct the browser
to reload a document at a given interval or to load another page.
Regardless of the value the refresh URI is accessible as a link.
Use the document.browse.minimum_refresh_time to control the minimum
number of seconds a refresh will wait.
document.browse.minimum_refresh_time <num> (default: 1000)
The minimum number of milliseconds that should pass before

unchanged. It can fix going back in history for some sites that use
refreshing with zero values.
document.browse.table_move_order [0|1] (default: 0)
Move by columns in table, instead of rows.
document.cache
Cache options.
document.cache.format
Format cache options.
document.cache.format.size <num> (default: 5)
Number of cached formatted pages. Do not get too generous here,
´formatted´ means that all the accompanying structures are kept in
memory so that you get the cached document immediatelly, but these
structures may take a lot - 2x the size of the HTML source is
probably not unusual, but it can be even more if the document
consists of a lot of short lines (padded right, if possible) and
links and not much other markup. So if you set this to 256 and then
you don´t like your ELinks eating 90M, don´t come complaining to
us. ;-) Also note that the format cache itself is not counted to
the memory cache size, but the HTML source of the formatted
documents is always cached, even if it is over the memory cache
size threshold. (Then of course no other documents can be cached.)
document.cache.memory
Memory cache options.
document.cache.memory.size <num> (default: 1048576)
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 quite some time, but it causes problems in a situation very
common to various web login systems - frequently, when accessing a
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 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´.
document.codepage
Charset options.
document.codepage.assume <codepage> (default: System)
Default document codepage. ´System´ stands for a codepage
determined by a selected locale.
document.codepage.force_assumed [0|1] (default: 0)
Ignore charset info sent by server.
document.colors
Default document color settings.
document.colors.text <color|#rrggbb> (default: gray75)
Default text color.
document.colors.background <color|#rrggbb> (default: black)
Default background color.
document.colors.link <color|#rrggbb> (default: blue)
Default link color.

Default image link color.
document.colors.bookmark <color|#rrggbb> (default: hotpink)
Default bookmarked link color.
document.colors.dirs <color|#rrggbb> (default: yellow)
Default directory color. See document.browse.links.color_dirs
option.
document.colors.increase_contrast [0|1] (default: 1)
Increase the contrast between the foreground and background colors
to ensure readability. For example it disallows dark colors on a
black background. Note, this is different from ensuring the
contrast with the ensure_contrast option.
document.colors.ensure_contrast [0|1] (default: 1)
Makes sure that the back- and foreground colors are never equal.
document.colors.use_document_colors <num> (default: 2)
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
mostly look very impressive, but some sites will appear really
ugly. Note, that obviously if the background is not black, it
will break the behaviour of transparency.
document.css
Options concerning how to use CSS for styling documents.
document.css.enable [0|1] (default: 1)
Enable adding of CSS style info to documents.
document.css.import [0|1] (default: 1)

either CSS itself using the @import keyword or from the HTML using
<link> tags in the document header will also be downloaded.
document.css.stylesheet <str> (default: "")
The path to the file containing the default user defined Cascading
Style Sheet. It can be used to control the basic layout of HTML

Underline links.
document.html.wrap_nbsp [0|1] (default: 0)
If set do not honour non breaking space (the nbsp entity) but allow

defined the link and tab menu will have a menu item that makes it
possible to pass the the link, frame or tab URI to an external
command. If several rules are defined the link and tab menu will
have a submenu of items for each rule. Note, this is mostly useful
for launching graphical viewers, since there is no support for
releasing the terminal while the command runs. The action and
submenus are also available by binding keys to the
frame-external-command, the link-external-command, and the
tab-external-command actions.
document.uri_passing._template_ <str> (default: "")

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(3) is called, breaking atomicity, and
reducing reliability of this feature.
infofiles.secure_save_fsync [0|1] (default: 1)
When using secure file saving, call fsync(3), if the OS supports
it, to force the OS immediately to write the data to permanent
storage. This is optional for those who wish to avoid excessive
disk I/O.

external program to view a file. It is possible to refer to it for
several MIME types — e.g., you can define an ´image´ handler to
which mime.type.image.png, mime.type.image.jpeg, and so on will
refer; or one might define a handler for a more specific type of
file — e.g., PDF files. Note you must define both a MIME handler
and a MIME type association for it to work.

used to find the content type of a URL by looking at the extension
of the file name.
mime.mimetypes.enable [0|1] (default: 1)
Enable mime.types support.
mime.mimetypes.path <str> (default:
"~/.mime.types:/etc/mime.types:/usr/etc/mime.types:/usr/local/etc/mime.types:/usr/share/mime.types:/usr/share/misc/mime.types")
The search path for mime.types files. Colon-separated list of
files.
mime.type
Handler <-> MIME type association. The first sub-tree is the MIME
class while the second sub-tree is the MIME type (ie. image/gif
handler will reside at mime.type.image.gif). Each MIME type option
should contain (case-sensitive) name of the MIME handler (its
properties are stored at mime.handler.<name>).
mime.type._template_
Handler matching this MIME-type class (´*´ is used here in place of
´.´).
mime.type._template_._template_ <str> (default: "")
Handler matching this MIME-type name (´*´ is used here in place of
´.´).
mime.default_type <str> (default: "application/octet-stream")
Document MIME-type to assume by default (when we are unable to
guess it properly from known information about the document).
protocol
Protocol specific options.
protocol.bittorrent
BitTorrent specific options.
protocol.bittorrent.ports
Port range allowed to be used for listening on.
protocol.bittorrent.ports.min <num> (default: 6881)
The minimum port to try and listen on.
protocol.bittorrent.ports.max <num> (default: 6999)
The maximum port to try and listen on.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker
Tracker options.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker.compact [0|1] (default: 0)
Whether to request that the tracker returns peer info in compact
format. Note, the compact format only supports IPv4 addresses.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker.interval <num> (default: 0)
The number of seconds to wait between periodically contacting the
tracker for announcing progress and requesting more peers. Set to
zero to use the interval requested by the tracker.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker.ip_address <str> (default: "")
What IP address to report to the tracker. If set to "" no IP
address will be sent and the tracker will automatically determine
an appropriate IP address.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker.key <str> (default: "")
An additional identification that is not shared with any users. It
is intended to allow a client to prove their identity should their
IP address change. It is an optional parameter, but some trackers
require this parameter. If set to "" no user key will be sent to
the tracker.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker.numwant <num> (default: 50)
The maximum number of peers to request from the tracker. Set to 0
to use the server default.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker.min_skip_size <num> (default: 20)
The minimum number of peers to have in the current peer info pool
before skipping requesting of more peers. I.e. setting numwant to
zero. Set to 0 to not have any limit.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire
Lowlevel peer-wire options.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.connections <num> (default: 55)
The maximum number of allowed connections to both active and
non-active peers. By increasing the number of allowed connections,
the chance of finding good peers to download from is increased.
However, too many connections can lead to TCP congestion. If the
maximum is reached all new incoming connections will be closed.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.max_message_length <num> (default:
8388608)
The maximum length of messages to accept over the wire. Larger
values will cause the connection to be dropped.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.max_request_length <num> (default:
8388608)
The maximum length to allow for incoming requests. Larger requests
will cause the connection to be dropped.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.request_length <num> (default: 16384)
How many bytes to query for per request. This is complementary to
the max_request_length option. If the configured length is bigger
than the piece length it will be truncated.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.timeout <num> (default: 300)
The number of seconds to wait before closing a socket on which
nothing has been received or sent.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.pool_size <num> (default: 55)
Maximum number of items in the peer pool. The peer pool contains
information used for establishing connections to new peers. Set to
0 to have unlimited size.
protocol.bittorrent.piece_cache_size <num> (default: 1048576)
The maximum amount of memory used to hold recently downloaded
pieces. Set to 0 to have unlimited size.
protocol.bittorrent.max_uploads <num> (default: 7)
The maximum number of uploads to allow at once.
protocol.bittorrent.min_uploads <num> (default: 2)
The minimum number of uploads which should at least be used for new
connections.
protocol.bittorrent.request_queue_size <num> (default: 5)
How many piece requests to continuously keep in queue. Pipelining
of requests is essential to saturate connections and get a good
connection performance and thus a faster download. However, a very
big queue size can lead to wasting bandwidth near the end of the
connection since remaining piece blocks will be requested from
multiple peers.
protocol.bittorrent.choke_interval <num> (default: 10)
The number of seconds between updating the connection state and
most importantly choke and unchoke peer connections. The choke
period should be big enough for newly unchoked connections to get
started but small enough to not allow freeriders too much room for
stealing bandwidth.
protocol.bittorrent.rarest_first_cutoff <num> (default: 4)
The number of pieces to obtain before switching piece selection
strategy from random to rarest first.
protocol.bittorrent.allow_blacklist [0|1] (default: 1)

protocol.file.cgi.policy [0|1] (default: 0)
Whether to execute local CGI scripts.
protocol.file.allow_special_files [0|1] (default: 0)
Whether to allow reading from non-regular files. Note this can be
dangerous; reading /dev/urandom or /dev/zero can ruin your day!
protocol.file.show_hidden_files [0|1] (default: 1)
When set to false, files with name starting with a dot will be
hidden in local directory listings.
protocol.file.try_encoding_extensions [0|1] (default: 1)
When set, if we can´t open a file named ´filename´, we´ll try to
open ´filename´ with some encoding extension appended (ie.
´filename.gz´); it depends on the supported encodings.
protocol.fsp
FSP specific options.
protocol.fsp.sort [0|1] (default: 1)
Whether to sort entries in directory listings.
protocol.ftp
FTP specific options.
protocol.ftp.proxy
FTP proxy configuration.
protocol.ftp.proxy.host <str> (default: "")

it´s blank, FTP_PROXY environment variable is checked as well.
protocol.ftp.anon_passwd <str> (default: "some@host.domain")
FTP anonymous password to be sent.
protocol.ftp.use_pasv [0|1] (default: 1)
Use PASV instead of PORT (passive vs active mode, IPv4 only).
protocol.ftp.use_epsv [0|1] (default: 0)
Use EPSV instead of EPRT (passive vs active mode, IPv6 only).
protocol.http
HTTP-specific options.
protocol.http.bugs
Server-side HTTP bugs workarounds.
protocol.http.bugs.accept_charset [0|1] (default: 1)
The Accept-Charset header is quite long and sending it can trigger
bugs in some rarely found servers.

Allow blacklisting of buggy servers.
protocol.http.bugs.broken_302_redirect [0|1] (default: 1)
Broken 302 redirect (violates RFC but compatible with Netscape).
This is a problem for a lot of web discussion boards and the like.
If they will do strange things to you, try to play with this.
protocol.http.bugs.post_no_keepalive [0|1] (default: 0)
Disable keepalive connection after POST request.
protocol.http.bugs.http10 [0|1] (default: 0)
Use HTTP/1.0 protocol instead of HTTP/1.1.
protocol.http.proxy
HTTP proxy configuration.
protocol.http.proxy.host <str> (default: "")
Host and port-number (host:port) of the HTTP proxy, or blank. If
it´s blank, HTTP_PROXY environment variable is checked as well.
protocol.http.proxy.user <str> (default: "")
Proxy authentication username.
protocol.http.proxy.passwd <str> (default: "")
Proxy authentication password.
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.referer.fake <str> (default: "")
Fake referer to be sent when policy is 2.
protocol.http.accept_language <str> (default: "")
Send Accept-Language header.
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 (this also affects navigator.language
ECMAScript value available to scripts). Note that some see this as
a potential security risk because it tells web-masters and the FBI
sniffers about your language preference.
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-%b)")
Change the User Agent ID. That means identification string, which
is sent to HTTP server when a document is requested. The ´textmode´
token in the first field is our silent attempt to establish this as
a standard for new textmode user agents, so that the webmasters can
have just a single uniform test for these if they are e.g. pushing
some lite version to them automagically. Use " " if you don´t want
any User-Agent header to be sent at all. %v in the string means
ELinks version, %s in the string means system identification, %t in
the string means size of the terminal, %b in the string means
number of bars displayed by ELinks.
protocol.https
HTTPS-specific options.
protocol.https.proxy
HTTPS proxy configuration.
protocol.https.proxy.host <str> (default: "")
Host and port-number (host:port) of the HTTPS CONNECT proxy, or
blank. If it´s blank, HTTPS_PROXY environment variable is checked
as well.
protocol.nntp
NNTP and news specific options.
protocol.nntp.server <str> (default: "")
Used when resolving news: URIs. If set to the empty string the
value of the NNTPSERVER environment variable will be used.
protocol.nntp.header_entries <str> (default:
"Subject,From,Date,Message-ID,Newsgroups")
Comma separated list of which entries in the article header to
show. E.g. ´Subject´ and From. All header entries can be read in
the header info dialog.
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.
protocol.rewrite.dumb
Dumb prefixes, see enable-dumb description for details.
protocol.rewrite.dumb._template_ <str> (default: "")
Replacement URI for this dumbprefix: %c in the string means the
current URL %% in the string means ´%´
protocol.rewrite.smart
Smart prefixes, see enable-smart description for details.
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.default_template <str> (default: "")
Default URI template used when the string entered in the goto
dialog does not appear to be a URI or a filename (i.e. contains no
´.´, : or / characters), and does not match any defined prefixes.
Set the value to "" to disable use of the default template rewrite
rule. %c in the template means the current URL, %s in the template
means the whole string from the goto dialog, %0,%1,...,%9 mean the
1st,2nd,...,10th space-delimited part of %s, %% in the template
means ´%´.
protocol.rewrite.enable-dumb [0|1] (default: 1)
Enable dumb prefixes - simple URI abbreviations which can be
written to the Goto URL dialog instead of actual URIs - i.e. if you
write ´elinks´ there, you are directed to http://elinks.cz/.
protocol.rewrite.enable-smart [0|1] (default: 1)
Enable smart prefixes - URI templates triggered by writing given
abbreviation to the Goto URL dialog followed by a list of arguments
from which the actual URI is composed - i.e. ´gg:search keywords´
or gn search keywords for news.
protocol.user
User protocols. Options in this tree specify external handlers for
the appropriate protocols. Ie. protocol.user.mailto.unix.
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. %f in the
string means file name to include form data from %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.

· 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.

Enable I/O in UTF8 for Unicode terminals. Note that currently, only
the subset of UTF8 according to terminal codepage is used.

Restrict the characters used when drawing lines. Makes sense only
with linux terminals using the cp850/852 character sets.

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, uses XTerm RGB codes
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: System)
Codepage of charset used for displaying content on terminal.
