Seems like cURL is a more suited choice than lynx in this application.

How about using cURL instead?

I didn't think cURL could format and parse HTML - that's why I used Lynx. Lynx parses the HTML into a readable format - thus this could be applied to any html document. If cURL can be put to such a use, I'd like to be enlightened

I've written a quick script that will grab Slashdot's headlines for geektool using curl grep and sed. Check out the one liner here.
