Thus, if elinks is installed, then typing `gf` will open the link as text in Vim.
Typing `gx` will open it with the program attached to links in the OS. On Linux, if one does not use Gnome or KDE desktop environment, then adding

let g:netrw_browsex_viewer = "xdg-open"

to the vimrc seems necessary.
