  • shr-render-buffer: how to preserve the URLs inside the links?

    From emacsusr@opngid@gmail.com to gnu.emacs.help on Tue Apr 25 11:01:01 2023

    Running the 'shr-render-buffer' command accurately renders HTML text in a new buffer by setting appropriate faces for different element types and underlining links, but when I click on any of the links the following message appears in the echo area:

    No link under point.

    Any suggestions?

    Using eww instead of shr solves the problem:
    (defun eww-render-current-buffer ()
    "Render HTML in the current buffer with EWW"
    (interactive)
    (beginning-of-buffer)
    (eww-display-html 'utf8 nil nil nil (current-buffer))
    )
