# linkview
Like [urlview](https://github.com/sigpipe/urlview) but with more context for HTML documents.
That is, `linkview` parses both plaintext and valid HTML documents to
extract links. The advantage to this is being able to extract the text
from a link or in the case of an image, the alt or title
attributes. This gives more context to what the URL points to. Link
text will show in the menu instead of just the URL if given an HTML
document.
## Example
```
h: help q: quit (6 of 29)

The first section displays some help text, the second displays a URL
preview of the currently selected link, and finally the menu of
links. Pressing the `return` key will open the currently selected link
in your default browser. Pressing the `tab` key will hide the menu and
display the full URL.

```
h: toggle help (press again to return to menu)
tab: toggle full url

G: go to bottom

j / C-n / down: move down
return / C-o: open url
q / C-c: quit

## But Why?
Many HTML emails are built using marketing platforms that modify URLs
for tracking and analytics purposes. It becomes difficult to figure
out what the URL points to. If you notice in the example above, the
URL to the Algorithms class is obscured by a redirect URL but
`linkview` displays the link text instead of only the URL.
