W3m

w3m is an open source text-based web browser. It has support for tables, frames, Secure Sockets Layer connections, color and even inline images on suitable Computer terminal. Generally, it renders pages in a form as true to their original layout as possible.

The name w3m stands for WWW-wo miru , which is Japanese language for see the WWW .

w3m is also used by the Emacs text editor via the w3m.el Emacs Lisp module. This module gives fast browsing of web pages inside of Emacs. However, rendering of web pages isn t done in Emacs Lisp; only final display is handled in Emacs Lisp with the rendering done by the w3m application. So, unlike the slower Emacs/W3 which does both rendering and display computation entirely in Emacs Lisp, the operation of w3m.el is much faster than Emacs/W3.

There are two Fork (software development)s of w3m that adds support for multiple character encodings and other features not in the original: # Hironori Sakamotos w3m-m17n (m17n stands for multilingualization), and # Kiyokazu Sutos w3mmee (mee stands for Multi-Encoding Extension ).
