a plaintext page. Maybe the 'printable' version would be happy enough?
Maybe, but don't get me wrong. The text was meant as a boiler
plate--the normal article text should follow.
BTW, using lynx you can read (and edit? I didn't try) the WP article
pretty well.
If I remember correclty it was quite irritating to scroll to the top and
sidebars to get to the article.
As for editing: Yes, editing is possible. There are some points though:
* Lynx does not allow one to add new lines, nor to go beyond a certain
number of lines. A Lynx user cannot insert a new line or edit more than
a certain number (20?) of lines down the article - where every return
counts as a line
* Lynx will 'transcribe' a UTF-8 page to Latin-1 (doing a commendable task
at it, by the way, Japanese seemed to become correct romaji). It will
be this Latin-1'ed page that is saved
There might well be more problems with it.
