OT; w3m browser?

[Tom Fowle]

Has anybody much experience with the w3m command line browser?

Just discovered it,  seems to work fine with speakup, but the command
mappings are weird.

Can it do much that good old lynx can't do?
If not, it's probably not worth learning, but-----
Comments appreciated.
Thanks

Well Tom, so-far I don't think w3m does anything more than any of the LYNX or e 
links type browsers. You can number lines-and-links, also use a tab to follow 
links, but I don't think it has any javascript support. Let me guess, only 
edbrowse has that?

Larry,
thanks, that's what I thought.
Will probably wait for Kirk to do a 32 bit of his chrome implementation.

actually e-links can work in many java environments.
I have wanted to try edbrowse, Larry do we have it here at shellworld?, 
but I cannot speak to the browser referenced in the question.

Well Karen, to my surprise, yes we seem to have edbrowse here, but while it will 
create a config, it asks to personalize. This browser is occasionally discussed 
on the "commandline" group.

  Since shellworld is my only access to Linux, here and the Linux shell 
supplied by dreamhost for my office's account, I am not on many  lists.
Still I too found edbrowse.  will need to google for information to see if 
i can use it.
Thanks,
Kare

No. If my memory is correct (and it may not be), W3M can display tables
spatially - fine for braille display users, but if you're using Speakup alone
then spatial layout probably isn't what you want.
