It is able to process HTML +tables and frames but it ignores JavaScript and Cascading Style +Sheets. \fIw3m\fP can also serve as a pager for text files named as +arguments or passed on standard input, and as a general purpose +directory browser. + +\fIw3m\fP organizes its content in buffers or tabs, allowing easy +navigation between them. With the w3m-img extension installed, \fIw3m\fP can +display inline graphics in web pages. And whenever \fIw3m\fP's HTML +rendering capabilities do not meet your needs, the target URL can be +handed over to a graphical browser with a single command. + +For help with runtime options, press \(lqH\(rq while running \fIw3m\fP. + +.SH ARGUMENTS + +When given one or more command line arguments, \fIw3m\fP will handle +targets according to content type.
