How to preview HTML inside emacs?

How to preview HTML inside emacs?

hi Everyone,

  I'm using emacs to edit HTML files, can I preview them inside the emacs
without opening any external browser?

  `C-c C-v' is not good for me, 'coz it brings a firefox window in X and
doesn't work in console.

  Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,
Forrest Y. Yu

I'm sorry but, how can I make use of it?
I added these two lines into my ~/.emacs:
(require 'extview)
(push '("\\.html$" . "w3m %s") extview-application-associations)

then I press `C-c C-v' when editing a html file, it still brings a firefox
window!

Sorry i understand preview as seeing the sourcecode of the file. 
May be better using another command as: 

w3m-find-file your_html_file ==> bind it to some keys

Extview use ~/.mailcap to manage your file extensions, so if you modify
your ~/.mailcap, all the .html will be open in w3m.
It's may be not what you want.

Extview , when you press enter while in dired, ask you if you want to
open the file in an external viewer or not.

Here is how to configure extview:(my config)

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/elisp/extview")
(load "extview.elc")
(push '("\\.py$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.sh$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.py~$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.sh~$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.html$" . ask) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.jpeg$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.jpg$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.png$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.gif$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.tiff$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.ogg$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.mp3$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.wav$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.m3u$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.tcl$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.pls$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.tex$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.ps$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.css$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.xml$" . ask) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.ps$" . ask) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.*~$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.*.~*~$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.h$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.d$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.dat$" . nil) extview-application-associations)

Here is my ~/.mailcap:(where extview read)

image/jpeg; showpicture -viewer display %s
image/*; showpicture -viewer display %s
text/html; firefox %s
application/xml; firefox %s
text/xml; firefox %s
text/plain ; $EDITOR %s
text/* ; $EDITOR %s
chemical/x-mopac-input ; $EDITOR %s
application/pdf; evince %s
application/dvi; evince %s
application/ogg ; ogg123 %s
audio/x-wav ; aplay %s
audio/mpeg ; mpg321 %s
audio/*; showaudio %s
video/x-msvideo; mplayer %s
video/quicktime; mplayer %s
application/postscript; gv %s

showpicture, showaudio... is in the metamail package.

emacs-w3m [1] is a nice web browser that works within emacs.  Use
`w3m-find-file' to render a local file.

thank you Jashy, the command is helpful, but where does `w3m-browse-url'
come from? is it a shell command? or is it from any elisp package? there
seems no such a thing in my system :(

thank you. i checked out the current CVS sources just now.

i cannot find the ./configure file in the sources, so i copied *.el to my
load-path, then i launched emacs, tried `w3m-find-file' and it just worked
