  [4]A variant of [5]w3m with support for multiple character encodings
     ____________________________________________________________________________

   This document describes about a variant of w3m with support for the following
   character encodings
     * ISO 2022
     * UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE
     * Shift_JIS
     * Big Five
     * EUC-tw
     * GBK, GB 18030-2000 (a.k.a. GBK2K)
     * Johab
     * Unified Hangul
     * KOI8-R
     * KOI8-U
     * Microsoft Windows Codepages 1250 -- 1258

   ..., and it further includes the following enhancement, though they are not
   related with character encoding.
     * [6]You can add or change programs to process encodings of local files or of
       body of HTTP response at run time.
     * [7]You can specify file name extensions representing language such as ".en"
       or ".ja".
     * You can change key bindings in built-in one-line editor by specifying
       functions with names starting with "E:" in your keymap file.
     * You can change key bindings to handle menus by specifying functions with
       names starting with "M:" in your keymap file.
     * [8]You can load documents concurrently with separate processes, via "keep
       alive" connection in HTTP/1.1.
     * In formatted output, you can number [9]anchors and/or [10]links to images and
       include list of all of them in the output.
     * [11]Any HTTP request header to be added can be specified at run-time.
     * [12]String expansion in mailcap entry is somewhat enhanced.
     * [13]Support for "browsecap".
     * Support for (almost) real frame (i.e. tiling window system).
     * Enhancement of completion in built-in one-line editor (anyway type TAB).

  Current status

   [14]The page which includes both UTF-8 encoded Unicode characters and ISO 2022
   registered characters, is rendered without any problem, and can be viewed on
   kterm with ISO 2022, or on xterm with UTF-8. In case terminal emulator fails to
   find corresponding fonts, garbages may appear on screen, but they will disappear
   if missing fonts are supplied.

   It is not tested at all whether line input routine can handle double width
   characters other than JIS X 0208. Right-to-left writing language is not
   considered at all. Terminal emulators used for test are kterm(-6.2.0),
   xterm(-165) with utf-8 support, and rxvt(-2.6.3) with euc-jp support.

  Installation

   If you will use character encoding extension part of this variant, you need first
   to get and install [15]the support library. In most POSIX conforming environment,
   you just need to issue the following commands:

     make install ; ldconfig

   I strongly recomend to use the latest version. Unless you will use character
   encoding extension part of this variant, you need not this library.

   You may further need to install [16]Boehm-GC library, unless you have already the
   library. Notice that you may need to install include file gc.h, and probably
   private/gc_private.h, in hand.

   Then move to the directory where you extracted the tarball

     [17]w3mmee-p24-23.tar.gz (681KB, 2006-09-30 07:38:28)

   and follow the usual process:

     configure ; make ; su -c 'make install'

   where, when you run configure, you need to answer "3" to the question

     Which language do you prefer?

   if you want to enable character encoding extensions. [18]Other enhancements are
   still included even if you answer 1 or 2.

   When you invoke the installed executable, you need to assign the environment
   variable "W3MLANG" with the value

   _.kterm
          in case you are using kterm,

   _.UTF-8
          in case you are using xterm.

   _.eucJISX0208
          in case you are using rxvt with EUC-jp support.

   _.sjis
          in case you are using rxvt with Shift_JIS support.

   _.big5
          in case you are using rxvt with Big Five support.

          [19]Here is a detailed description about run-time configuration.

          You can view ChangeLog:

     [20]w3mmee-release-ChangeLog.txt (201KB, 2006-09-30 07:38:28)

          which is included the above tarball.

  Known problems

          Here is the list of known problems in the latest release. They should be
          fixed in [21]the latest snapshot of release branch in my CVS repository.
          Please consult [22]ChangeLog of [23]the snapshot for implementation
          details.

          Different from the case of the release version, to make [24]the latest
          snapshot, [25]libmoe is mandatory.

          + User functions ``PREV'' and ``NEXT'' behave reversely.

          Almost all contents in this site are written by [26]Kiyokazu SUTO (i.e.
          me) unless especially noted. I want to put all of them into the PUBLIC
          DOMAIN, even though some lawyers mention that it is impossible in my
          country.
