4.2 Visiting several web pages in one URL

Emacs-w3m can manipulate “group URLs”: special URLs that contain several real URLs. When you open these group URLs, emacs-w3m will open one buffer for each URL in the group, allowing you to open several pages in one go.

To build group URLs, you just have to put together (i.e. concatenate) all the addresses you want to open, separating them with the ampersand symbol (that’s “&”), and prefixing the grouped URLs with “group:”. For example, suppose you want to visit the GNU Project’s homepage, http://www.gnu.org/, and the Savannah homepage, http://savannah.nongnu.org/: the group URL would be

group:http://www.gnu.org/&http://savannah.nongnu.org/

Since this syntax can be quite hard to use on a daily basis, this feature will be most useful when used with very short URLs (Quicksearch URLs for example, see An alternative (and fast) way to search the web); or in non-interactive contexts.
