    <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>

<table class="w3m-key">
<tr>
    <td>Hold Shift</td><td>Shows the gpm pointer and allows you to highlight text</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>&darr; or j</td><td>Move down a line, but half page down at bottom of screen</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>&uarr; or k</td><td>Move up a line, but half page up at top of screen</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>Enter</td><td>Follow a hyperlink</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>Tab</td><td>Select next hyperlink</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>a</td><td>Save link as. Note, you need to use this to download
    <span class="file">*.patch</span> files.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>Shift-J</td><td>Scroll down one line</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>Shift-K</td><td>Scroll up one line</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>Shift-B</td><td>Back</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>Ctrl-T</td><td>Open link in new tab</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>Ctrl-Q</td><td>Close current tab</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>{</td><td>Move to previous tab</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>}</td><td>Move to next tab</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>Esc-T</td><td>Pop-up tab selection</td>
</tr>
