Emacs Web Wowser (a backronym of "eww" [1] ) is a lightweight web browser within the GNU Emacs text editor. [2] Eww can only do basic rendering of HTML; there is no capability for executing JavaScript or handling the intricacies of CSS. [3] It was developed by Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen, who also created the underlying HTML rendering library. [1] [4]
