Using LIFT
To allow the LIFT Text Transcoder to generate a text-only version of a page, you must add a link that points to the transcoder. You can accomplish this in one of two ways:
Option 1 (Page URL)
<a
href="http://transcoder.usablenet.com/tt/
http://www.ufl.edu/page.html"
title="Text-only page produced automatically by LIFT Text Transcoder">
Text-only Version</a>
transcoder.usablenet.com
Replace with the server name where the LIFT Text Transcoder is running (See Transcoder Server Name Note)
http://www.ufl.edu/page.html
Replace with the page URL
This method is recommended if you will add the text-only link to your site's home page or just a few pages. Whenever the page URL changes, the text-only link must be updated as well.
Option 2 (Referer)
<a href="http://transcoder.usablenet.com/tt/referrer"
title="Text-only page produced automatically by LIFT Text Transcoder">
Text-only Version</a>
transcoder.usablenet.com
Replace with the server name where the LIFT Text Transcoder is running (See Transcoder Server Name Note)
This method is recommended if you will be adding the text-only link to more than one page or to a template and don't want to specify the URL of each page. This method may not function for some browsers on PDAs that don't support the referer HTTP header.

Notice: Transcoder Server Name Change
Since the University of Florida will eventually host LIFT on its own server, the current transcoder server name transcoder.usablenet.com will change. To be notified when the server name is updated, please e-mail your name and the name of your department to Anne Allen at alallen@ufl.edu.
