i like to copy a part of text from a website, for pasting it somewhere
else, e.g. into a text-document.

since i do not like to use graphic-browsers i mostly surf by lynx.
but lynx makes line-breaks with 3spaces where there would be normaly a
dynamic word wrap in html.

solutions i was thinking/trying:

1) in libreoffice a macro witch replaces \n+following 3spaces on the
next line with 1space ) could not get it :( and would not usable in
other apps.

2) in lynx changing the intend for "p"-text. but actualy the default
formating in lynx is fine and there would be still the "line-breaks"
lynx is doing.

3) doing something "nasty", storing it tmp, let something (i have done
it by python) going over the text for formating it, and put it back to
the clipboard, like yu made a suggestion (thanks!)

4) but since this procedure (copy/paste out of lynx) other lynx-users
are doing also all the time i guess, there must be already ready-made
solutions IN lynx?????

thanks
