Hello,
I use FreeBSD 10.0 RELEASE now, and I just install the base system,
but I add doc when I install FreeBSD, so there are some docs in my
system, and they are HTML files, so I want to ask that does FreeBSD
provide some utilities to read HTML file in terminal?
You may say w3m is a good choice : )
I have use it before, it is a great web browser in CLI, and its use
experience is like vi : ) But I must install it from ports or src by
myself, so does FreeBSD provide some utilities in base system to
implement that?
I think no one has answered your original question. No, there's no browser
in Base to read FreeBSD Base documentation in HTML. You must install
something from ports always. If you want install w3m as pkg, pkg must be
installed from ports first.
Base documentation is derived from sources which can also deliver other
media types.
Try formatting them as text. A Doc team member can probably tell you how to
do that.
The XML documents like the Handbook can be built as text with
make FORMATS=txt
Building the documents from source requires installation of the
textproc/docproj metaport. Text versions are generated from the HTML
version with www/links using -dump.
But if www/links is installed, the HTML versions can be read directly:
links book.html
