# Anchors and Inlines in VRweb

## Setup

VRweb 1.1 includes WWWAnchor support for Netscape and Mosaic. With command line argument `-mosaic`, VRweb chooses Mosaic, otherwise it will assume Netscape. In both cases an instance of the web browser must be running to accept requests.

For Netscape, the binary must be found under the name `netscape` and run on your X-Display, however it does neither has to run on the same machine nor share a file system with VRweb.

For NCSA Mosaic you must select a CCI port number in Menu File/CCI of Mosaic. Enter a port number between 1024 and 65535 and mark the item "select requests". Communication from VRweb to Mosaic will be done through this port, the name of the Mosaic binary does not matter.

The Harmony version supports both WWWAnchor and WWWInline without special settings.

## Anchors

Anchors are activated with a double-click or ctrl-click. Whereas ctrl-click works in all modes, double-click is disabled during the fly-to navigation tool to prevent unintended link activation.

Anchor highlighting can be turned on and off with the Anchors button in the toolbar. It is not necessary to have anchor highlighting turned on to follow links.
Accelerator key: F9.

If you prefer anchor selection with single mouse clicks, disable the option "Enable Motion with Anchors" in the Navigate menu. This causes a single click to follow links while anchors are highlighted.

There are two anchor highlighting methods available: color code and brightness. They can be chosen in the Anchors submenu of the Display menu. Color code draws anchors in a specific color (red-brown) by default, and non-anchors in a shade of grey. Brightness shows anchors brighter than non-anchors.

## Inlines

Support for WWWInline with web browsers is being worked on. Currently it is supported in the Harmony version only.
