The pipe is allowed here. If you are getting an error message from
using that rule, the problem is something other than the pipe. The
problem could be the semicolon after copiousoutput--you don't need a
semicolon at the end of the line, only between terms, but I haven't
checked whether having one at the end of the line is an error.

You sometimes need to tell w3m that the input is HTML by using the
"-T text/html" option.
