Introduction + + w3m is a pager with WWW capability. It IS a pager, but it can be +used as a text-mode WWW browser. + + The features of w3m are as follows: + +* When reading HTML document, you can follow links and view images + (using external image viewer). +* It has 'internet message mode', which determines the type of document + from header. If the Content-Type: field of the document is text/html, + that document is displayed as HTML document. +* You can change URL description like 'http://hogege.net' in plain text + into link to that URL. + +Current problems are: + +* Resize behaviour is imcomplete. +* It can't show images inline. (It seems to be impossible as far as using + xterm) +* It doesn't decode MIME-body of the document. +* Online manuals are poor. + +w3m is known to work on these platforms. + + SunOS4.1.x + HP-UX 9.x, 10.x + Solaris2.5.x + Linux 2.0.30 + FreeBSD 2.2.8, 3.1, 3.2 + NetBSD/macppc, m68k + EWS4800 Rel.12.2 Rev.A + Digital UNIX: v3.2D, v4.0D + IRIX 5.3, IRIX 6.5 + OS/2 with emx + Windows 9x/NT with Cygwin32 b20.1 + MS-DOS with DJGPP and WATT32 packet driver + MacOS X Server + +2.
