<title>Introduction to Links</title>
<para><application>Links</application> is a text and graphics mode
WWW browser. It includes support for rendering
tables and frames, features background downloads, can display colors
and has many other features.</para>
<caution>
<para>In the text mode, <application>Links</application> cannot be
configured to use UTF-8 encoding for the terminal output. This
limitation renders <application>Links</application> useless as a
text-based browser in UTF-8 locales. See general discussion of this
type of issue in the <xref linkend="locale-not-valid-option"/> section
on the <xref linkend="locale-issues"/> page.</para>
<para>In the graphical mode,
<application>Links</application> displays text correctly even in
UTF-8 locales, if all characters exist in the built-in font used by
<application>Links</application>. Form submission in UTF-8 locales
is handled correctly when running in X11-based (but not framebuffer-based)
graphical mode.</para>
