And you
still have complete control over the URI in the internal scripting goto-url
hook.  The advantages are clear - you get complete control over the URI and you
can do many more interesting things with it.  For example, there are some very
advanced CVSweb and Debian package database URI prefixes implemented in the
sample Lua hooks file.  The one disadvantage to this is that you must have Lua
scripting enabled in order to make use of it, and many users don't have Lua
installed.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ch07s02.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="ch07.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ch08.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">How it works </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Chapter 8. The Terminal Setup</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
