I am not a native english speaker, if any grammatical mistakes please forgive me every one says books are best friend and remove ignorance, so I got a online library but my english is not good, so i decided that download the text of book and translate it ino my native language with google translate cli. https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/political-ideologies/front-matter/introduction/ so i install w3m cli web browser and visit the above said website with w3m cli web browser, Here the output is without line breaks. w3m but when I store the output of this website it into file the ,there is line breakage the commands are 1) w3m >file.txt or 2) w3m -dump > file.txt after investigating, i found that the coloumn size of each row is around 80. the terminal column size 80. So in short the line breakage text converted into 1 continuous paragrach. so suggest me a solution thanks in advance

For instance on [this page](https://www.makemkv.com/developers/usage.txt) (archive ) the text extends to infinity, w3m doesn't wrap the lines at all for unknown reasons. lynx in comparison isn't affected. I can only read by scrolling the affected lines using the w3m cursor. Depending on the size of my terminal window the lines are cut off in this manner: > --progress=file Output all progress messages to file. The same special file names as in --messages are recognized with when I'd expect the lines to be wrapped — the full paragraph: > --progress=file Output all progress messages to file. The same special file names as in --messages are recognized with additional value "-same" to output to the same file as messages. Naturally --progress should follow --messages in this case. Default is no output.

I have an extremely bizarre problem, occurring somewhere at the intersection of terminal, su, w3m and /dev/null: when I su - from user1 to user2, following command does not work: $ w3m zz.html 2>/dev/null Error occurred while reset 800b: errno=25 but the same command works fine without the 2>/dev/null redirection: $ w3m zz.html And finally, when I login directly as user2 (instead of switching from user1), everything works fine (both with 2>/dev/null and without) When I run w3m with strace: strace -o zz.strace w3m zz.html 2>/dev/null, I see the two cases (working and non-working) starting to diverge at this point: ioctl(1, TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(1, TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(1, TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(1, TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(1, TIOCGWINSZ, {ws_row=77, ws_col=199, ws_xpixel=0, ws_ypixel=0}) = 0 ioctl(2, TIOCGWINSZ, 0x7318fb8e7c40) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) fstat(2, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0666, st_rdev=makedev(0x1, 0x3), ...}) = 0 ioctl(2, TCGETS, 0x7318fb8e7400) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) brk(0x16a51a8a1000) = 0x16a51a8a1000 brk(0x16a51a8b1000) = 0x16a51a8b1000 brk(0x16a51a8c2000) = 0x16a51a8c2000 brk(0x16a51a8d2000) = 0x16a51a8d2000 brk(0x16a51a8e8000) = 0x16a51a8e8000 ioctl(2, TCGETS, 0x7318fb8e7bd0) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) ioctl(2, TCGETS, 0x7318fb8e7bc0) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) ioctl(2, SNDCTL_TMR_START or TCSETS, {B0 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) fstat(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(0x88, 0x7), ...}) = 0 write(1, "Error occurred while reset 800b:"..., 42) = 42 write(2, "\33[?1049h\33[22;0;0t\33[H\33[2J\33[39;49m"..., 58) = 58 ioctl(2, TCGETS, 0x7318fb8e7ba0) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) ioctl(2, SNDCTL_TMR_START or TCSETS, {B0 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) exit_group(1) = ? +++ exited with 1 +++ From what I was able to find, the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl seems to be something related to terminal size. But I am not able to find what exactly is causing this problem.

I have been using w3m for a couple of weeks and am convinced that it is my preferred text browser - with one exception. Is there any way to yank URLs to the clipboard without using the mouse? I have looked through the manual and, using the default keybindings, there doesn't appear to be any documented way to do this. Has anyone developed a script to work around this?

Pressing M in w3m launches the 1st external browser, 2M the second. While it is easy to bind the built-in command EXTERN to another key, is it possible to bind the second to another key?

Is there a way to configure w3m so that with 'U', i.e. after entering text into the URL field, the browser will automatically prepend "google.com/search?q=" to it? Or can some other command be used or defined to obtain the same effect? I tried calling a shell script via "#" but it just passes output into buffer.

The issue seems to stem from a misconfigured web server and has affected some domains I've came across in lynx and w3m, but links can access at least in some instances. Can this be resolved on the user-side? 403 Forbidden ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nginx

I am somewhere between a new and intermediate linux user. I am setting up a local network for a small group, and I need to configure an automatic sign-in to a webportal when internet connectivity is lost. I have this working when I run my bash script with a monitor on the raspberry (RASPBIAN OS) itself, the sequence of things are: Check if internet is down with fping --> Open xterm --> have xdotool open w3m and automate the clicks and inputting password. Here is my code in condensed form: DNSPing=$(fping 9.9.9.9) EtecsaPing=$(fping 10.180.0.30) ... if [[ ( $EtecsaPing == "10.180.0.30 is alive" ) && ( $DNSPing == "9.9.9.9 is unreachable" ) ]] then echo "ETECSA UP - Internet all down - Run login script now" xterm & sleep 2 xdotool type "w3m -m https://10.180.0.30:8443/ " xdotool key Return ... xdotool type xdotool key Return xdotool sleep 1 ... xdotool key Return xdotool type xdotool sleep 1 ... xdotool key Return sleep 5 killall xterm fi So when I connect a monitor and mouse and run this it works just fine. I want to have this running headless and with the script in crontab, and after 2 days of trying I feel like I'm just going in circles. The problem is that both the new xterm session and xdotool requires a DISPLAY defined to run. To that end I have installed xvfb which creates a simulated display. sudo Xvfb :10 -ac -screen 0 1024x768x24 DISPLAY=:10 xterm & (the script from above) That runs without any errors, but it also does not work. If I run: sudo Xvfb :10 -ac -screen 0 1024x768x24 DISPLAY=:10 xterm -e "echo 'deb blah ... blah' | sudo tee -a /CronJobs/yap.txt > /dev/null" It adds the echo to the file, so I know that my display is running the xterm session, and I conclude the simulated display and xterm session is all working. If I do: sudo Xvfb :10 -ac -screen 0 1024x768x24 DISPLAY=:10 xterm & DISPLAY=:10 xdotool type "sudo echo 'deb blah ... blah' | sudo tee -a /CronJobs/yap.txt > /dev/null" DISPLAY=:10 xdotool key Return It does not work. In conclusion, xdotool is working (no errors), but not doing anything! So I'm thinking xdotool is not typing into the xterm terminal because the window is not selected, and I try to select the xterm window and I get: DISPLAY=:10 xdotool getactivewindow Your windowmanager claims not to support _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW, so the attempt to query the active window aborted. xdo_get_active_window reported an error And at this point my project is so unique that I can't find any good suggestions on what to do. A few people have tried to exchange the windowmanager for Xvfd but it's few and complicated. Put in simple words: - How can I make Xvfd act better like a real display? - Can I make the linux forget all about DISPLAY variables and windowmanager, and just unconditionally run the script as a normal user? How? - Can I automate my login sequence in a smarter way that would avoid xdotool? My network is private and I have no issue with solutions that can compromise the security on the raspberry, so disabling whatever xhost etc is fine, I just don't see how/what. Thanks in advance.

In this post is shown how to pipe curl output to lynx. How can get the same with w3m? I mean something like: curl https://www.google.it | w3m I do not want to use a temporary file.

**Environment**: Linux VM which I have access only through command line console. **Goal**: I need to download the file: https://download.nlm.nih.gov/umls/kss/2020AA/umls-2020AA-full.zip Unlike typical download using wget, this redirects to a sign-in page. **What I have tried till now**: Tried using the text based browsers: w3m , elinks . Until recent changes in the sign-in page, it used to work. **What had changed in the sign-in page?** Earlier the sign-in page used to take username and password. But recently they have introduced option to sign-in via Google, Microsoft etc. **Problem** The sign-in page looks like this in my local m/c: But when browsing using text based browsers in the VM, it only shows a blank page. Is there any solution to this issue? N.B. - The link to above zip file is mentioned in https://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/licensedcontent/umlsarchives04.html#2020AA - As it is a huge file, I don't have the option to download in my local system and then upload it to the VM. - Had originally asked the question in StackOverflow, but was suggested to raise the question in this forum (so I deleted the original post).

I am using Alacritty and ranger. I have also installed w3m. This is part of my ~/.config/ranger/rc.conf:

set preview_images true
set preview_images_method w3m
set w3m_offset 0

Most of the time images do not show at all. Just black space. And if they show up they disappear after 2 or 3 seconds. When I set set preview_images_method terminology, it looks like this: The versions I use: - ranger 1.9.3 - Python 3.9.1 - w3m/0.5.3+git20200507 What should I do to be able to preview images in ranger ? Thank you for help

Does w3m offer a keyboard shortcut to go back one page? I couldn't find anything in the man pages.

I would like to know how to turn OFF images in w3m. I installed w3m images so that i could view images in the cli program ranger. But I would prefer to turn this off for w3m. I would have thought that there would be some option in .w3m/config but I am finding it very difficult to find good documentation on this. Is there anyone that can help me? Thanks

I am trying to figure out a simple way to submit a file stored on a distant Ubuntu server to an HTML form on the web. The form uses `` field. This seems to be [not supported by Lynx](https://lynx.invisible-island.net/lynx2.8.3/breakout/lynx_help/Lynx_users_guide.html#Forms) : > Lynx does not yet support INPUTs with TYPE="file" But can it be handled by w3m? Or any other text-based browser?

I want to render html within mutt but I haven't succeed configuring it yet. I want to use w3m so my _.mailcap_ looks like : text/html; "$BROWSER" %s &; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; needsterminal; text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -T text/hmtl; copiousoutput; And for the rendering in mutt I have added : auto_view text/html alternative_order text/plain text/enriched text/html This is what I looks like when I open a _text/html_ document (I press v and then return to the _text/html_) [-- Autoview using w3m -I 'utf-8' -T text/hmtl --]

We can see that autoview is using w3m, but why isn't it rendering ?

How to get only the content for web page what I see in browser... I don't want the headers and any HTML tag.. exp- http://www.linfo.org/cat.html .. I want only the content.. Please help

Can I configure w3m to use Squid by default when invoked by a specific user in a bash login shell? I've looked inside the w3m configuration file, but I don't see any setting were I can set squid as the default proxy.

The w3mimgdisplay program displays images in buffered terminal emulators. This is how: http://blog.z3bra.org/2014/01/images-in-terminal.html . But it is not very well documented. As pointed out in the post, this thread is probably the best you can get. Now, the problem is that the image does not stays when the terminal scrolls up. This post argues that "w3m uses it as a persistent process to handle scrolling", but prefixing the command in line 7 with nohup or subfixing with & does not make any change. (And it's hard for me to trace back the use of w3mimgdisplay in w3m.) So the question resumes as how to execute this command line as a persistent process: echo -e "2;3;\n0;1;0;100;0;0;0;0;0;0;./image.png\n4;\n3;" | /usr/lib/w3m/w3mimgdisplay Update: Tested on gnome-terminal on Lubuntu 16.04. This is the X-face patch by Tamo referred in the post above.

I need to grab and debug all HTTP-requests and responds which I make from lynx or another text-based browser. How can I save all request URLs, redirects, headers and page sources for analyze and debug this information? I do not need JavaScript support. What tools are better for this purpose? **Update** To partially solve my problem, I used w3m text-based browser. I start w3m with -reqlog option and w3m save all headers, addresses history and cookies in ~/.w3m directory. For example: $ w3m -reqlog https://google.com Check ~/.w3m: $ ls ~/.w3m cookie history request.log In ~/.w3m/request.log stored all headers. How can I keep the body of the pages?

When using w3m terminal browser, how can I specify the http/s port that I want to use when connecting to a web server. There does not seem to be a -p option to use non-standard ports (80 & 443). The colon syntax, localhost:8080 does not work either. Anyone know how to do this? Seems like I have been able to specify the port in addition to the host on w3m before.
