+ | In order to enable support for various implementations of teletext sites, the site specific information can be added to a config file. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Config file is located at $HOME/.config/Dexter/dexter.conf and it can be modified directly from xterm to add/edit/remove sites. | ||
The config file has a subsection [sites], which lists all the available text-tv sites for Dexter. Each site has a unique id number in front of every line and each line has a site specific setting parameter. After sites, there is a size parameter, which needs to be the amount of sites in this section. | The config file has a subsection [sites], which lists all the available text-tv sites for Dexter.

In order for Dexter to be able to "predict" the next/previous page, regular expressions are used. Dexter will match the regular expression and find the correct prediction. For example, if you are at page 145 and next page is 168, user presses next page, it will know to go to 168 instead of trying page number 146. | In order for Dexter to be able to "predict" the next/previous page, regular expressions are used.

Here is the list of teletext/text-tv sites found working with Dexter. When you find a new one, please add it to the list under the correct country. Also, the unique number at the beginning of every parameter should be replaced with "x", so that they don't collide. When you copy an entry, make sure to change this value to be a unique value for your config. | Here is the list of teletext/text-tv sites found working with Dexter.
