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 is not done in [[Emacs Lisp]]; only the final display is handled in Emacs Lisp with the rendering done by the w3m application. There exist other web browsers for Emacs, such as [[Emacs/W3]], which is implemented entirely in Emacs Lisp, and [[Eww (web browser)|eww]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2013/06/16/eww/|title=eww|author=|date=16 June 2013|website=ingebrigtsen.no}}</ref> which performs parsing using an external library written in C but all formatting and display in Emacs Lisp. |

w3m is a free software/open source text-based web browser and terminal pager. It has support for tables, frames,[2] SSL connections, color and inline images on suitable terminals. Generally, it renders pages in a form as true to their original layout as possible.
The name "w3m" stands for "WWW wo miru (WWWを見る)", which is Japanese for "to see the WWW" where W3 is a numeronym of WWW.
The original project appears to be inactive, while a currently maintained version exists and is packaged in various GNU/Linux distributions such as Debian and Fedora. This version is available from the repository of Debian developer Tatsuya Kinoshita.
In Emacs
w3m is also used by the Emacs text editor via the emacs-w3m.el Emacs Lisp module.
Forks
Two forks of w3m add support for multiple character-encodings and for other features not in the original:
- Hironori Sakamoto's w3m-m17n ("m17n" stands for multilingualization)
- Kiyokazu Suto's w3mmee ("mee" stands for "Multi-Encoding Extension")
