Open in org-mode link 'file://path/file.html' with w3m-el

Open in org-mode link 'file://path/file.html' with w3m-el

[Paul Chany]

Hi,

I have setup custom-variable 'browse-url-browser-function' to
'w3m-browse-url' but it works only with links 'http://etc./index.html

When in an org file have a link 'file://path/index.html' I want to open
it with w3m-browse-url too but don't know how to setup this?

I tried setup the customn-variable
'(org-file-apps (quote ((auto-mode . emacs) ("\\.x?html?\\'"
. w3m-browse-url) ("\\.pdf\\'" . default))))

but this doesn't work. I don't know how to write the Lisp form to this
to work?

How can I setup org-file-apps to open a html file with w3m-el?

Any advices will be appreciated!

According to (describe-variable 'org-file-apps) the cdr can't be a
function but a sexp, where the variable `file' holds the file-name of the
link.  So I propose

(add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.html\\'" . (browse-url-of-file file)))

...or any other browse-function accepting a file-name as argument.
