Recursion
---------
Recursion occurs on HTML files, Opera bookmark files and directories.
Before descending recursively into an URL, it has fullfill several
conditions. They are checked in this order:
1. An URL must be valid.
2. An URL must be parseable. This currently includes HTML files,
Opera bookmarks files, and directories. If a file type cannot
be determined (for example it does not have a common HTML file
extension, and the content does not look like HTML), it is assumed
to be non-parseable.
3. The URL content must be retrievable. This is usually the case
except for example mailto: or unknown URL types.
4. The maximum recursion level must not be exceeded. It is configured
with the ``--recursion-level`` option and is unlimited per default.
5. It must not match the ignored URL list. This is controlled with
the ``--ignore-url`` option.
Note that the directory recursion reads all files in that
directory, not just a subset like ``index.htm*``.
