NAME
w3m - a text based Web browser and pager SYNOPSIS
w3m [options] [URL or filename] Use "w3m -h" to display a complete list of current options. DESCRIPTION
w3m is a World Wide Web (WWW) text based client. It has English and Japanese help files and an option menu and can be configured to use either language. It will display hypertext markup language (HTML) documents containing links to files residing on the local system, as well as files residing on remote systems. It can display HTML tables and frames. In addition, it can be used as a "pager" in much the same man- ner as "more" or "less". Current versions of w3m run on Unix (Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX, Linux, FreeBSD, and EWS4800) and on Microsoft Windows 9x/NT. OPTIONS
At start up, w3m will load any local file or remote URL specified at the command line. For help with runtime options, press "H" while run- ning w3m. Command line options are: -t tab set tab width -r ignore backspace effect -l line # of preserved line (default 10000) -B load bookmark -bookmark file specify bookmark file -T type specify content-type -m internet message mode -v visual startup mode -M monochrome display -F automatically render frame -dump dump formatted page into stdout -cols width specify column width (used with -dump) -ppc count specify the number of pixels per character (default 8.0) Larger values will make tables narrower. -dump_source dump page source into stdout -dump_head dump response of HEAD request into stdout -dump_both dump HEAD and source into stdout -dump_extra dump HEAD, source, and extra information into stdout -post file use POST method with file content -header string insert string as a header +<num> goto <num> line -num show line number -no-proxy don't use proxy -no-mouse don't use mouse -cookie use cookie. -no-cookie don't use cookie -pauth user:pass proxy authentication -S squeeze multiple blank lines -W toggle wrap search mode -X don't use termcap init/deinit -title [=TERM] set buffer name to termianl title string. If TERM is specified, use the TERM style title configuration. -o opt=value assign value to config option -show-option show all available config option -config file specify config file -help show usage -version show w3m version -debug DO NOT USE EXAMPLES
To use w3m as a pager: $ ls | w3m To use w3m to translate HTML files: $ cat foo.html | w3m -T text/html or $ cat foo.html | w3m -dump -T text/html >foo.txt NOTES
This is the w3m 0.2.1 Release. Additional information about w3m may be found on its Japanese language Web site located at: http://w3m.sourceforge.net/index.ja.html or on its English version of the site at: http://w3m.sourceforge.net/index.en.html ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

NAME
sgmltools - process sgml files. SYNOPSIS
sgmltools [-b backend] [-d] [-v] [-V] [-h] [-l] [-s dsssl_spec] [-j jadeopt] [--backend={onehtml,html,ps,dvi,rtf,txt,ld2db,jade- tex,pdb,lynx,w3m}] [--debug] [--verbose] [--dsssl-spec=dsssl_spec] [--jade-opt=jadeopt] [--version] [--help] [--license] DESCRIPTION
sgmltools is the central driver of SGMLtools. You can use it to convert SGML input files to various formats, as indicated by the --backend switch. OPTIONS -b, --backend Select the backend to use. Currently, there are five different backends to choose from. ps expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into PostScript. dvi expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into DVI. rtf expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into RTF. onehtml expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into a single HTML; the resulting file will be put in the current directory (default). html expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into HTML; the resulting files will be put in a subdirectory. txt expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into ASCII. Note that this backend actually uses the w3m (pre- ferred) or lynx (if w3m not found) backends. ld2db expects a LinuxDoc-SGML file and will convert it into DocBook SGML. jadetex expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into JadeTeX input. Only use this if you know what you're doing. pdb expects a Doc- Book SGML file and will convert it into the iSilo format used on Palm devices. w3m expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into ASCII. w3m does a better job of exporting HTML as ASCII text than Lynx, since w3m understands tables. One should normally use the txt backend and let sgmltools decide which ASCII exporter is available. lynx expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into ASCII. One should normally use the txt backend and let sgmltools decide which ASCII exporter is available. -d, --debug Enable debugging. All temporary files will be left as is and possibly extra information on the processing steps is printed to stderr. -v, --verbose Be verbose. Information on commands executed, etcetera, will be printed to stdout. -s, --dsssl-spec Specify the DSSSL stylesheet to apply (see STYLESHEETS, below). -j, --jade-opt Pass additional options directly to Jade. -h, --help Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully (tbd). -V, --version Print version information on standard output then exit successfully (tbd). -l, --license Print license information STYLESHEETS
The DSSSL specification may be either a filename, a public identifier or a DSSSL alias (resolved via one of the alias files /etc/sgml/aliases and ~/.sgmlaliases to either a filename or a public identifier). ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
TMPDIR Temporary directory. If it is on a local filesystem, a lot of copying will be avoided. Furthermore, setting this will prevent SGML- tools from using /tmp and thus will prevent people trying to make use of race conditions. SGML_CATALOG_FILES The SGML Open catalog files to use for resolving public identifiers into system identifiers. BUGS
This is an early developer release, so don't expect it to behave in any useful way. It won't make coffee or tea. SOURCES
