Summary

The w3m program is a pager (or text file viewer) that can also be used

as a text-mode Web browser. W3m features include the following: when

reading an HTML document, you can follow links and view images using

an external image viewer; its internet message mode determines the

type of document from the header; if the Content-Type field of the

document is text/html, the document is displayed as an HTML document;

you can change a URL description like ' in plain

text into a link to that URL.

If you want to display the inline images on w3m, you need to install

w3m-img package as well.
