Jim Spath on Nostr: I need to replace a bunch of "boilerplate" text with new content in a couple dozen ...
I need to replace a bunch of "boilerplate" text with new content in a couple dozen places, and figured writing macros would ease the pain. Lo and behold, found an m4 article from *1999* that hits the basics, and for a bonus, uses Lynx as the example.
http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/September1999/article111.htmlIn there were hoary old URLS, like "lynx.browser.org" that still work!
This is my favorite part:
