<h1>Using w3m</h1>
<p>There are several different console web browsers available for Linux.
I have decided that we will use w3m. The w3m web browser works differently
than GUI based browsers. Below is some information to help you get started
using the browser.</p>
</header>
<article>
<section>
<h2>Starting The Browser</h2>
<p>You can use w3m to surf the web or use it to open a local HTML file. One
of the primary uses for the browser is going to be downloading tar-balls. The
location the files are downloaded to is by default the current directory when
you started w3m. Therefore, I recommend that you start w3m in the
<span class="file">/sources</span> directory.
<pre class="cmd">w3m http://some.url
w3m path/to/an/html/file</pre>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Keyboard Commands</h2>
<p>Console based web browsers are keyboard driven, instead of mouse driven.
You will need to use several keyboard commands in order to navigate the using
w3m.</p>
