Consulting the EWW manual, I see nothing about configuring Emacs to
enable it to use `eww'. I see only this cryptic statement:
However a GNU Emacs with `libxml2' support is required.
Could that be the problem? What does that even mean? How does a
user tell whether `libxml2' support has been provided? If it has
not, how does a user obtain it? Etc. etc.
Non-geek Emacs users are likely to want to try using Emacs to browse
the web. Unfortunately, they seem to have been hung out to dry.
The Emacs manual, node `EWW', says this:
You can use EWW as the web browser for
`browse-url', *note Browse-URL::. For full details, *note EWW:
(eww)Top.
However, unlike `eww', `browse-url' works fine, out of the box.
And I see no "full details" about using `eww' with `browse-url' in
the EWW manual. In fact, "browse-url" does not even occur in the
EWW manual.
