Here’s my `.config/.vf1rc` file:
handler text/plain mdcat %s handler text/html lynx -force_html %s
The first line says that all text gets rendered with mdcat which is like `cat` except it renders Markdown.
The second line says that HTML gets rendered by `lynx`, our favoured text browser. It opens `lynx` and stays there so you can browser the site on the web. It doesn’t just *dump* the HTML to text like the default VF-1 setup does.
For a moment I was experimenting with showing things in a second window, or a second session of my terminal, but when I tried it, I realised that I didn’t want it.
