Subject: w3m: Marginal CSS support

Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2003 00:39:26 -0600

Package: w3m
Severity: wishlist

Since all of the graphical browsers for Linux seem intent on becoming 
the crappiest Windows-like pieces of bloatware as fast as possible, I'm 
seriously considering switching to w3m for my primary browser 
(especially now that w3m-img works reliably for me).  However, it would 
be really nice to see some sort of minimal CSS support.

No, really.

It wouldn't have to be fancy.  But a lot of sites these days use DIV 
for all formatting, turning it all into one big chunk of unscannable 
text.

I think the minimal set of CSS to support would be the following:

margin-top and margin-bottom (rounding to the nearest ex size, assuming 
a, say, 16-pixel font)
font-weight and font-style (converting font-style to font-weight as 
appropriate)
:before and :after pseudo-elements and the content property (this could 
also be used to close bug #189460, since it'd just need the default 
stylesheet to have something like q:before{content:"\"";} 
q:after{content:"\"";}

Also, float and clear would be nice to have (if those are added, border 
and left/right margins would be nice too).

I second.

I my case, people send me HTML email, which I view with w3m
through w3m-el through mew .  Then, when they mention "underlined"
text, I don't see any underlining, only later to realize that that
was specified as

  <span style="text-decoration: underline;">

Ryo
