<h2 id="256-colours">How can I get 256 colours?</h2>
<p>
- First, you must provide the ELinks configure script with
- the <var>--enable-256-colors</var> option before compiling.
+
+ First, you must enable it in the <var>feature.h<var> file before
+ compiling.
+
</p>
<p>
+
Second, you must run ELinks on a terminal that supports 256 colours:
+
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.html">Thomas Dickey's XTerm</a>, \
version 179 or later (check which version you have with <kbd>xterm -version</kbd>). \
<i>(Why version 179? <a href="http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.log.html">XTerm's \
change log</a> indicates no relevant changes in that revision but rather that initial \
256-colour support was added in revision 111. -- <a \
href="mailto:miciah@myrealbox.com">Miciah</a>)</i> XTerm must be compiled with \
<var>--enable-256-color</var>.</li> <li>Recent versions of <a \
href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/">PuTTY</a>. <i>(Is this just \
a rumour? -- <a href="mailto:miciah@myrealbox.com">Miciah</a>)</i></li> </ul>
<p>
+
Third, you must set the <var>TERM</var> environmental variable
to <var>xterm-256color</var> before running ELinks.
+
</p>
<p>
+
Note that, altho the Linux framebuffer supports 256 (or more) colours,
the Linux console driver does not; therefore, console applications
are still limited to 16 colours on the Linux console,
framebuffer or not.
