Term - terminal web browser

Term is terminal-based web browser that only accepts files using the Term File Format. This browser is responsive to youtr terminal's sizing and is developer-focused. This browser will not render HTML or execute JavaScript. It does, however, implement a similar DOM model, and styling attributes are similar to CSS.

Using the browser

Install using this command:

pip3 install termbrowser

and start using this command:

python3 -m termbrowser

Open links using their hotkeys ex. 1 for [1] Link Name

Press Escape twice to change the URL to load Press Tab to cycle focus of input fields Press Enter to submit an input field Press Alt(or Option) + Q to unfocus from an input field

File Format

Term File Format files are read line by line. The first line of any term file declares the term version to be used. Ex:

@termtype:m100

The # character at the start of a line is used for commenting

# this is a comment!

Elements

There are currently 5 element types. cont, text, link, input, and action

Declare an element like so

cont

end

Inside of that element, you can place attributes

cont
	-width: 10
	-height: 5
	-border: line
end

A cont (container) is similar to a <div> in HTML

To specify an element's value, use :

text: Hello World!
end

A text element is similar to a <p> element in HTML

Input fields can be created like so:

input
	-submit: my-action
end

Actions

Actions are blocks of code that you can write in a term file to provide interactivity to it's elements

To declare an action, use

action: my-action (

)

Values are passed to an action code block through a variable named value

input
	-submit: my-action
end
action: my-action (
	visit("http://localhost/hello?world=" + value)
)

Scripting

The code executed in an action block is not of any specification or language, but is evaluated through SimpleEval.

Methods you may use: visit(url: str) Open another page by URL

Attributes

Attributes for cont include width, height, border, direction, and padding.

Attributes for text include align, and style

Attributes for link include url, align, and style

Attributes for input include submit, width, height, and padding

Responsiveness

# A container that will take up half of the screen width
cont
	-border: line
	-width: 50pc
