Hello!

lynx gopher://taz.de

When I access that, I notice line breaks at the end that are inside of
words.
It is a normal xterm:

m@ryz:~$ stty size
24 80

Is that an issue of lynx combined with my terminal?

If I increase the size of the terminal, the lines are shown properly.

Why?

Which gopher client for Linux do you recommend?

Lynx is a great gopher client, the key bindings make it possible
to go rappidly through a number of links, f.e., from an aggretor
like Bongusta, or moka-puna.

There's lots of good gopher clients to try each with their pros and cons.
A few to try in no particular order.

UMN Gopher Client
- A long pedigree and works pretty well for most things,

Bombadillo
- Nice page layout and navigation but
often you end up downloading files in order
to view them rather than the client launching
a client such as an image viewer.

VF1
- Good but does knockout the item alignment once you have
more than 9 links in a menu. It is also prone to crashing.
However, its use of external viewers works well.

Lagrange
- Pretty and allows multiple sessions in tabs
However, it is really aimed at Gemini and tries
to make pages look like Gemini pages which doesn't
always work. It does have built-in image viewing
which can make for a nice experience.

Gophie and Telescope
- Look good but I haven't got around to trying those.

Also Sacc


Have fun

I can recommend Telescope by Omar Polo:

https://www.telescope-browser.org/

It supports Gopher, Gemini and Finger without problems just like
Lagrange, but as a TUI for the terminal. (I know Lagrange has a TUI
client but Telescope is much more lightweight). And it opens images and websites with xdg-open.

Have fun

I prefer browsers supporting many protocols, currently

- chawan TUI <https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=7005>
- elinks TUI
- emacs GUI+TUI
- dillo GUI <https://dillo-browser.github.io/>
- lynx TUI
- w3m TUI

and when all else fails

- <https://portal.mozz.us/>

is a great help.

Thanks for recommending telescope. I tried it and it looks great. I
found a few nits. For example when i try to open an item of type I,
telescope gives the following error.

Unknown gopher selector

I was a little surprised because type I is defined in the original
gopher RFC 1436.

Oh! I wasn't aware of that. Maybe I should file a bug report.

I like sacc from git://bitreich.org/sacc

I had to tweak the pager to use 'less' instead of 'more',
but otherwise, it's great.

sacc it's fine too:

git clone git://bitreich.org/sacc

cd sacc

make; doas make install || sudo make install

Or search packages for your Linux/BSD.

BTW, if you use packages, set this in ~/.profile

export PAGER="less"

That's because by default sacc will spawn 'more'
to read the text files.
