Can we please get `w3m` installed??? The included `w3mman` is the best man page browser that comes without an `emacs` attached...
sure thing, I just installed it for ya.

I hope some neighbours will enjoy it too! Jumping between man pages really is nicer with it. The conversion from man format to HTML is done via a CGI (which W3M can use locally (not needing a web server)).
Hi yeti,
Those who prefer viewing manual pages in a web browser need not seek further than mandoc(1), i.e.:
$ MANPAGER="lynx -force_html" man -T html institute
One can create an alias or a function in one's $SHELL for ease of use.
