- The World-Wide Web Line Mode Browser User Manual
- WWW LINE MODE BROWSER USER GUIDE
-
- This document is a short user's guide to the WWW Line Mode Browser.
- It has been generated automatically from the online hypertext
- documentation, so the considerations "Paper from Hypertext" below
- apply.
-
- The Line Mode Browser, called "www", is a program whoch allows you
- to access a wealth of information on the global internet. This
- document contains details of
-
- How to use www if you have it
-
- How to customize www for your site
-
- How to install www if you don't have it
-
- Technical details of how www works, including protocols and data
- formats, are not covered here but in the online documentation and
- other printed manuals.
-
- About documents generated from hypertext
-
- Paper manuals generated from hypertext are made for convenience,
- for example for reading when one has no computer to turn to. We
- have tried to make the hypertext into fairly conventional paper
- documents, but they may seem a little strange in some ways.
-
- All the links have been removed. Therefore, it is worth looking at
- the table of contents to see what there is in the manual.
- Something which is not explained in place may be explained in
- detail elsewhere.
-
- We have tried to keep related matter together, but sometimes
- necessarily you might have to check the table of contents to find
- it.
-
- Please remember that these are for the most part "living
- documents". That is, they are constantly changing to reflect
- current knowledge. If you see a statement such as "Product xxx does
- not support this feature", remember that it was the case when the
- document was generated, and may not be the same now. So if in
- doubt, check the online version. Of course, the living document may
- be out of date too, in which case it is helpful to mail its author.

- WWW LINE MODE BROWSER
-
- The World-Wide Web line-mode browser allows you to find information
- by following references and/or by using keywords.
-
- References are numbers in [brackets] after particular phrases. Type
- the number and RETURN for more information on the phrase.
-
- Some documents are indexes. These contain little text, but allow
- you to search for information with keywords. Type "find" or "f"
- (space) and the keywords. For example, "f sgml examples" searches
- the index for items with keywords SGML and EXAMPLE. You can only
- use the "find" command when it is present in the prompt. You can
- omit the "f" if the first keyword doesn't conflict with existing
- commands .
