+### ikiwiki's `w3mmode`
+
+If you're a [`w3m`](http://w3m.sourceforge.net/) user, you can also use `w3m`
+to edit your files locally, as it were done through the web interface at
+<http://www.bddebian.com:8888/~hurd-web/>.
+
+First, generate the wrapper.  Unless the configuration is changed, this has to
+be done only once.

+    
+    Now open `hurd-web.rendered.w3m/index.html' to browse the pages.
+
+Invoke `w3m`:
+
+    $ w3m hurd-web.rendered.w3m/index.html
+
+Or, to directly create a new page:
+
+    $ w3m 'file:///$LIB/ikiwiki-w3m.cgi/hurd-web.cgi?page=open_issues/gnumach_has_a_bug&do=create'
+
+Note that the changes you do via `w3m` will not be committed to the VCS (see
+[[render_locally]] for details).
