IMG, IFRAME, VIDEO, AUDIO, etc can contain alternate display content between opening and closing tags -- that content should be rendered and the tags thrown away

Trying to follow the link to https://twitter.com/pagekite at http://waterpigs.co.uk/notes/4SALRr/ resolves to http://waterpigs.co.uk/https://twitter.com/pagekite

I noticed that e.g. foo"bar gets rendered as foo"bar instead of foo"bar.

Example: http://line-mode.cern.ch/www/proxy?url=http://jsbin.com/AheNImI/1/quiet
Source: http://jsbin.com/AheNImI/1/edit

Is this intended behavior? Did the original Line Mode browser support HTML entities or not?

FWIW, http://www.w3.org/LineMode/User/Features.html lists “Entity handling” under v0.14.

Currently shows:

When only "JS Bin" should not be shown.

It doesn't look like it's rendering properly anymore on chrome. Any chance of getting that fixed?

Thanks!

Font looks good only when html tag font-size is set to 14px

The original code looks at the last four lines of output and tries to prevent against small paragraphs or headlings from being orphaned by inserting extra blank lines.

In this page: jumping to (or clicking at) either link 6 or 7 will reroute to the original site instead of "LMBfying" it.

As I see those links aren't https ones, so it may be a different issue than #7.

Not sure if this project is to be continued, but: I was going to use this emulator to see if the technique of using comments to hide script and style tags in old browsers worked all the way back. I made a test page similar to this. I noticed that style tags are never rendered, regardless of if they have comment wraps or not. Script tags are always rendered, whether they have comment wraps or not, with the comments themselves being rendered. Since I can't find an easy way to get the real line mode browser running, I'm not sure if this behavior is the same as the original, or if it's an artifact of this being run within a modern browser.

Replace the current selection prompt (form on the bottom line) with this logic:

if (is_index){  
    printf("K <keywords>, ");
    length_of_prompt = length_of_prompt + 14;
}
if (href_count!=0){
    printf("<ref.number>, ");   
    length_of_prompt = length_of_prompt + 14;
}
if (node_count>1){
    printf("Back, ");
    length_of_prompt = length_of_prompt + 6;
}
if (!end_of_file){
    printf("<RETURN> for more, ");
    length_of_prompt = length_of_prompt + 19;
}
if (length_of_prompt <= 47){
    printf("Quit, ");
}
printf("or Help: ");    

If I go to any webpage on a website, the proxy will show only the root of the website rather than the webpage that you requested(unless you requested the root, then it will show the one you requested). I think if you changed index.js line 32 from "var base = urlparse.parse(url).protocol + '//' + urlparse.parse(url).hostname" to "var base = req.url;", it would work.
