I'm not. I have been using w3m for producing text versions of the few Greek documents I managed to write so far. It just works. No special tweaking of ~/.w3m needed, no strange conversions donen to 8-bit text. The patch that makes our doc/ tree use w3m is very small too. Less than 50 lines in `cvs di -u' format. http://people.freebsd.org/~keramida/diff/w3m_docs.patch If anyone is interested in testing this with a full doc and/or web build on i386, alpha and sparc64 I'd be very glad to commit it and update textproc/docproj to depend on w3m instead of links. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
