Aren't there installation instructions with W3? Did you try to follow them? (I wonder if the instructions are clear enough. If they aren't, please explain what's unclear, so that the instructions can be fixed.) > I wonder how emacs search a package. It looks in load-path. But this is done only for loading a file, you have to tell Emacs that it needs to load w3 before you can use it. Normally, one has to modify ~/.emacs or site-start.el after installing a package, to tell Emacs to load the corresponding files. -- Two cafe au lait please, but without milk.
