Subject: w3m -dump generates too long lines

Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2002 09:17:21 +0200

Package: w3m
Version: 0.3-2
Severity: normal


Hi!


When using the -dump option with the -cols 72 option, it generates
lines that are 96 chars long nevertheless, with the last few cols
filled with spaces. That doesn't look nice on the console for example!


regards, Stefan

This is the case that it is impossible to render it within cols
because of <table> or something.

If the last few columns are spaces, then it should contain the same
information (and look better) if rendered in only the specified number of
columns, yes?  Can we see a copy of the HTML in question?

The URL is

http://jackit.sourceforge.net/docs/faq.php .

The resulting text file is in /usr/share/doc/jackd/FAQ (if you have
jackd installed, that is *g*).

Yuck.  This is the HTML's fault:
