cross-referencing itself, jumping around and getting a headache when looking
for the place where you stopped reading the last time?</p><p>Were you doing something similar in C code, but praising <span class="strong"><strong>vi</strong></span> for document
marks?</p><p>ELinks can do them, too! For vim non-users:</p><div class="section" title="What it is?"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="idp6594448"></a>What it is?</h2></div></div></div><p>When you place a "document mark" (just "mark" from now on), you place an
_invisible_ anchor at the current position in the document. You can place
several such marks --- each mark is identified by a single character (any
reasonable character will do). Then, you can just happily browse around
aimlessly (but see below) and when in the same document again, you can
return to any of the marks in the file again. That will restore your
position in the file at the time of placing the mark.</p><p>You can place a mark by the "m" key followed by the mark character. You can
go to a mark by the "'" (apostrophe) key followed by the mark character.
E.g., you can place a mark named "a" in the file by pressing "ma", then
return to it anytime later by typing "'a". You can of course change those
shortcuts at any time to anything you wish in the keybindings manager.</p><p>Short summary: you can place a mark (e.g. <span class="emphasis"><em>z</em></span>) in a document by pressing
"mz" and then go back to it anytime later by pressing "'z".</p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ch05s02.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"> </td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ch06s02.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Advanced topics involving tabs </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Restrictions</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
