+<title>Browsing With &konqueror;</title>
+
+<para>The &konqueror; Browser module of &kcontrol; allows you to select
+various options for the appearance and behavior of &konqueror;, the
+integrated web browser of &tde;.</para>
+
+<sect2 id="kbrowse-html">
+
+<title>Behavior</title>
+
+<para>The first option you can enable on this page is <guilabel>Enable
+completion of forms</guilabel>. If you check this box, &konqueror; will
+try to remember what you answer to form questions, and will try to fill
+in forms for you with the answers you previously used.</para>
+
+<para>You can configure the number of form items &konqueror; remembers
+with the slider below labelled <guilabel>Maximum
+completions</guilabel></para>
+
+<note><para>Of course, anything &konqueror; fills in a form with, you
+can still edit before submitting the form!</para></note>
+
+<para>The next option is <guilabel>Change cursor over
+links</guilabel>. If this option is selected, the shape of the cursor
+will change (usually to a hand) whenever it moves over a
+hyperlink. This makes it easy to identify links, especially when they
+are in the form of images.</para>
+
+<para>&konqueror; defaults to a single window per page, but has the
+capability to open multiple <firstterm>tabs</firstterm> inside a
+single window. &konqueror; also, by default, has a &MMB; shortcut to
+open any link in a new window. If you enable <guilabel>Open links in
+new tab instead of in new window</guilabel> you can &MMB; click on a
+link to have it open in a new tab.</para>
+
+<para>If you are using tabbed browsing, you can choose if a newly
+opened tab becomes the active (<quote>front</quote>) tab, or goes to
+the back. On a slow internet connection, or while browsing a page
+that has a list of headlines or other links in a list, you may like to
+have the new tabs load in the background while you continue reading.
+In this case, leave this setting disabled. If you prefer to go
+straight to the new page, leaving the old one in the background to
+return to later, enable it.</para>
+
+<para>If you close a window in &konqueror; that has multiple tabs
+open, &konqueror; will ask you if you're sure that you meant to close
+it. You can toggle on and off this behavior with the
+<guilabel>Confirm when closing windows with multiple tabs</guilabel>
+checkbox.</para>
+
+<para>As a convenience feature, if you enable <guilabel>Right click
+goes back in history</guilabel>, then clicking an empty area (&ie; not
+a link) in the &konqueror; window will act as if you pressed the
+<guiicon>Back</guiicon> button on the toolbar.</para>
+
+<para>The checkbox labeled <guilabel>Automatically load
+images</guilabel>, allows you to control whether images on web pages are
+loaded by default. Unless you have a very slow connection, you will
+probably want to leave this option selected, as there are many web pages
+that are difficult to use without images. If you don't select the option
+to automatically load images, you can still view the text on the page,
+and then load the images if you need them.</para>
+
+<para>Enabling <guilabel>Allow automatic delayed
+reloading/redirecting</guilabel> allows websites to send you to
+another page without your interaction. In many cases, this is a
+convenience. For example, the website has moved to a new
+<acronym>URL</acronym>. Many webmasters in this situation will put up
+a page on the old site, telling you that it has moved and you may like
+to change your bookmark, and then automatically move you along to the
+new website. However, such features can be confusing, or annoying,
+when misused, and so you may wish to disable it.</para>
+
+<para>The next setting is <guilabel>Underline links:</guilabel>. You can
+choose to underline links <guilabel>Always</guilabel>. If this option
+is selected, any text on web pages that acts as a link will be shown in
+an underlined font. While many web pages do use color to distinguish
+text that acts as a link, underlining makes it very easy to spot
+links.</para>
+
+<para>If you don't like underlined links, you can choose
+<guilabel>Never</guilabel>, so that no links are underlined. Or you
+can choose a middle ground, <guilabel>Hover</guilabel>, so that links
+are underlined when the mouse cursor is resting over them, and not
+underlined the rest of the time.</para>
+
+<para>Many web pages use animated gif images, and these can be very
+annoying, and in some cases, quite a drain on your system resources.
+The <guilabel>Animations</guilabel> option lets you choose when
+animations are enabled. The default is enabled, but you can set this
+to disabled, or to run the animation only once, even if the file
+itself contains instructions that the animation should run more times,
+or continuously.</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2 id="kbrowse-appearance">
+
+<title>Fonts</title>
+
+<para>Under this tab, you can select various options related to the use
+of fonts. Although the shapes and sizes of fonts are often part of the
+design of a web page, you can select some default settings for
+&konqueror; to use.</para>
+
+<para>The first thing you can set here is the font size. There are two
+settings which work together to allow you a comfortable browsing
+experience.</para>
+
+<para>Firstly, you can set a <guilabel>Minimum Font Size</guilabel>.
+This means, even if the font size is set specifically in the page you
+are viewing, &konqueror; will ignore that instruction and never show
+smaller fonts than you set here.</para>
+
+<para>Next you can set a <guilabel>Medium Font Size</guilabel>. This is
+not only the default size of text, used when the page doesn't specify
+sizes, but it is also used as the base size that relative font sizes are
+calculated against. That is, the <acronym>HTML</acronym> instruction
+<quote>smaller</quote>, it means smaller than the size you set for this
+option.</para>
+
+<para>For either option, you can select the exact font size in points by
+using the up/down spin control (or just typing) next to the option
+label.</para>
+
+<para>These options are independent of each other. Pages that do not
+set a font size, or ask for the default, will display with the size
+you set from <guilabel>Medium Font Size</guilabel>, while any pages
+that ask for a size smaller than your <guilabel>Minimum Font
+Size</guilabel> setting will instead show that size. The one does not
+affect the other.</para>
+
+<para>The remaining options are for the fonts to be associated with
+different types of markup used in <acronym>HTML</acronym> pages. Note
+that many web pages may override these settings. If you click anywhere
+on a control which shows a font name, a list of font names appears, and
+you can select a different font if you like. (If there are a lot of
+fonts, a vertical scrollbar appears in the list to allow you to scroll
+through all of the fonts.)</para>
+<!--
+<para>You can set a font for each <quote>type</quote> of markup, for
+each <guilabel>Charset</guilabel>, by changing the character set in the
+first drop down box, and then selecting a font for each category below.
+This would take quite some time, so you may just want to set up the
+fonts for your default character set. Most English speaking users will
+use iso8859-1</para>
+-->
+<para>Below this, you can set a <guilabel>Font size adjustment for this
+encoding</guilabel>. Sometimes the fonts you want to use for a
+particular encoding or language are much larger or smaller than average,
+so you can use this setting to bring them into line.</para>
+
+<para>You can set a default encoding that &konqueror; should assume
+pages are when rendering them. The default setting is <guilabel>Use
+language encoding</guilabel>, but you can change it to any encoding
+available in the list.</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2 id="kbrowse-java">
+<title>&Java; and JavaScript</title>
+
+<para>&Java; allows applications to be downloaded and run by a web
+browser, provided you have the necessary software installed on your
+machine. Many web sites make use of &Java; (for example, online
+banking services or interactive gaming sites). You should be aware
+that running programs from unknown sources could pose a threat to the
+security of your computer, even if the potential extent of the damage
+is not great.</para>
+
+<para>The checkboxes under <guilabel>Global Settings</guilabel> allows
+you to turn &Java; support on for all web sites by default. You can
+also select to turn &Java; on or off for specific hosts. To add a
+policy for a specific host, click the <guilabel>Add...</guilabel>
+button to bring up a dialog in which you can type the host name and
+then choose to accept or reject &Java; code from that particular host,
+which will add the domain to the list on the left of the page.</para>
+
+<para>You can select a host in the list, and click the
+<guilabel>Change...</guilabel> button to choose a different policy for
+that host. Clicking the <guilabel>Delete</guilabel> button removes the
+policy for the selected host; after deletion, the global settings will
+then apply to that host. You can import policies from a file by clicking
+the <guilabel>Import...</guilabel> button. To save the current list to a
+compressed archive file, click the <guilabel>Export...</guilabel>
+button.</para>
+
+<para>Finally, the group of controls labeled <guilabel>Java Runtime
+Settings</guilabel> allows you to set some options for the way in
+which &Java; should run. These options are useful for diagnosing
+problems, or if you are a &Java; developer, and should not normally
+need adjusting.</para>
+
+<para>If you select the <guilabel>Show Java
+Console</guilabel> option, &konqueror; will open a console window from
+which &Java; applications can read and write text. While most &Java;
+applications will not require such a console, it could be helpful in
+diagnosing problems with &Java; applications.</para>
+
+<para><guilabel>Use KIO</guilabel> will cause the
+<acronym>JVM</acronym>to use &tde;'s own <acronym>KIO</acronym>
+transports for network connections.</para>
+
+<para><guilabel>Use security
+manager</guilabel> is normally enabled by default. This setting will
+cause the <acronym>JVM</acronym> to run with a Security Manager in place. This will keep
+applets from being able to read and write to your file system, creating
+arbitrary sockets, and other actions which could be used to compromise
+your system. Disable this option at your own risk. You can modify your <filename>$<envar>HOME</envar>/.java.policy</filename> file with the
+&Java; policytool utility to give code downloaded from certain sites
+more permissions.</para>
+
+<para>The <guilabel>Shutdown Applet Server when inactive</guilabel>
+checkbox allows you to save resources by closing the &Java; Applet
+Server when it is not in use, rather than leaving it running in the
+background. Leaving this disabled may make &Java; applets start up
+faster, but it will use system resources when you are not using a
+&Java; applet. If you enable this, you can set a timeout.</para>
+
+<para>You can either opt to have &konqueror; automatically detect the
+&Java; installation on your system, or specify the path to the
+installation yourself by selecting <guilabel>Use user-specified
+Java</guilabel>. You may want to choose the latter method, for
+instance, if you have multiple &Java; installations on your system,
+and want to specify which one to use. If the &Java; Virtual Machine
+you are using requires any special startup options, you can type them
+in the text box labeled <guilabel>Additional Java
+Arguments</guilabel>.</para>

+<sect2 id="kbrowse-javascript">
+<title>JavaScript</title>
+
+<para>Despite the name, JavaScript is not related at all to
+&Java;.</para>
+
+<para>The first part of this page works the same as the &Java; page
+settings.</para>
+
+<para>The checkboxes under <guilabel>Global Settings</guilabel> allow
+you to turn JavaScript support on for all web sites by default. You
+can also select to turn JavaScript on or off for specific hosts. To
+add a policy for a specific host, click the
+<guilabel>Add...</guilabel> button to bring up a dialog in which you
+can type the host name and then choose to accept or reject JavaScript
+code from that particular host, which will add the domain to the list
+on the left of the page.</para>
+
+<para>You can select a host in the list, and click the
+<guilabel>Change...</guilabel> button to choose a different policy for
+that host. Clicking the <guilabel>Delete</guilabel> button removes the
+policy for the selected host; after deletion, the global settings will
+then apply to that host. You can import policies from a file by
+clicking the <guilabel>Import...</guilabel> button. To save the
+current list to a compressed archive file, click the
+<guilabel>Export...</guilabel> button.</para>
+
+<para>The final set of options on this page determine what happens
+when a page uses JavaScript for specific actions.</para>
+
+<para>You can individually enable or disable the ability of JavaScript
+to manipulate your windows by moving, resizing or changing focus. You
+can also disable JavaScript from changing the status bar text, so that
+for instance, you can always see where links will take you when
+clicked.The choices for these options are <guilabel>Allow</guilabel> and
+<guilabel>Ignore</guilabel>.</para>
+
+<para>For opening a new window, there is even more control. You can
+set &konqueror; to <guilabel>Allow</guilabel> all such requests,
+<guilabel>Ask</guilabel> each time a request is made, or
+<guilabel>Deny</guilabel> all popup requests.</para>
+
+<para>The <guilabel>Smart</guilabel> setting will only allow
+JavaScript popup windows when you have explicitly chosen a link that
+creates one.</para>
+

+
+<sect2 id="tdehtml-adblock">
+<title>AdBlocK</title>
+
+<para>&konqueror; AdBlocK can be configured to replace or remove
+images or frames from web pages that match a series of filters.</para>
+
+<para>The setting <guilabel>Enable filters</guilabel> enables or
+disables the use of list of URL filters.</para>
+<para>If <guilabel>Hide filtered images</guilabel> is enabled then
+blocked images are completely removed from the page and the space they
+occupied is reclaimed. If the option is disabled then a placeholder
+image is used in place of filtered images.</para>
+
+<para><guilabel>URL expressions to filter</guilabel> is a list of
+URLs that will be compared against image and frame names to decide
+on fitlering actions. The wildcards can be given as filename style
+regular expressions.</para>
+
+<para>Each filter can either be expressed as a file style wildcard
+string (e.g. http://www.site.com/ads/*) or as a full regular expression
+by enclosing the filter with forward slashes (e.g. //(ads|dclk)\./).</para>
+
+<para>Import and export will save or read the current filter list to a
+plain text file. Lines prefixed with an exclamation mark (!) are treated
+as comments and can be used to clarify or label a set of filters.</para>

+
+<sect2 id="kbrowse-plugins">
+<title>Plugins</title>
+
+<para>The first setting here is <guilabel>Enable Plugins
+globally</guilabel>. If you disable this checkbox, then &konqueror;
+will not use any plugins. If you enable it, then any installed and
+configured plugins that it can find will be used by &konqueror;</para>
