You are correct. It looks like I replied before checking this out
completely. The site has strange html, with the two links combined,
ending in </A></A>. Tag soup parsing lets you see the intended
information. The advice to view this site then would be to use TagSoup
parsing, either with the CTRL-V key within lynx, by invoking lynx as
"lynx -tagsoup", or by setting the parser to TagSoup in lynx.cfg (with
TAGSOUP:TRUE). The hiddenlinks option is probably too esoteric for most
users. All of us need to use the alternate parser on occasion.
Sorry about the bad advice I gave earlier.
