Editing Lynx (web browser) (section)

===Configurability===
Lynx supports both command-line options and configuration files. There are 142 command-line options according to its help message. The template configuration file <code>lynx.cfg</code> lists 233 configurable features. There is some overlap between the two approaches to configuration, although there are command-line options such as <code>-restrict</code> which are not matched in <code>lynx.cfg</code>. In addition to pre-set options by command-line and configuration file, Lynx's behavior can be adjusted at runtime using its options menu. Again, there is some overlap between the settings. Lynx implements many of these runtime optional features, optionally (controlled through a setting in the configuration file) allowing the choices to be saved to a separate writable configuration file. The reason for restricting the options which can be saved originated in a usage of Lynx which was more common in the mid-1990s, i.e., using Lynx itself as a front-end application to the Internet accessed by dial-in connections.{{sfn|Help file}}{{sfn|Configuration file}}{{sfn|User's Guide}}
