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.
