xfig-www-browser(1)

NAME

xfig-www-browser - display a HTML page using a web browser under X11

SYNOPSIS

xfig-www-browser file.html

DESCRIPTION

xfig-www-browser is a little shell script, which tries to find out which web browsers you have installed on your system and then starts them. xfig-www-browser tries the following browsers with descending priority:

-: mozilla(1)

-: galeon(1)

-: netscape

-: konqueror(1)

-: skipstone

-: dillo(1x)

-: chimera(1x)

-: kdehelp

-: gzilla(1)

-: arena(1)

-: gnome-help-browser(1)

-: chimera2(1x)

-: amaya(1)

-: links(1)

-: w3m(1)

-: lynx(1)

If the environment variable BROWSER is set, this is used with highest priority. If your browser needs the string file: or something like this in front of the file name, you can define this in the environment variable FILEPREFIX like ``FILEPREFIX=file:''.

If a ASCII browser (links(1), lynx(1), w3m(1), mmm) is chosen, this browser is started in an x-terminal-emulator(1), kterm(1x) or hanterm(1x) depending on your LANG environment variable setting, where `ja*' implies kterm(1x), `ko*' implies hanterm(1x) and all other settings imply x-terminal-emulator(1).

ENVIRONMENT

BROWSER: you can define your favorite browser with this variable, it overrides the priority of the above mentioned browsers.

FILEPREFIX: you can define that your browser needs something like ``file:'' as a prefix of the filename.

LANG: This variable decides what X11 terminal emulator should be used.
