1 Overview

EWW, the Emacs Web Wowser, is a web browser for GNU Emacs that provides a simple, no-frills experience that focuses on readability. It loads, parses, and displays web pages using shr.el. It can display images inline, if Emacs was built with image support, but there is no support for CSS or JavaScript.

To use EWW, you need to use an Emacs built with libxml2 support.

2 Basic Usage

You can open a URL or search the web with the command M-x eww. If the input doesn’t look like a URL or domain name the web will be searched via eww-search-prefix. The default search engine is DuckDuckGo. If you want to open a file either prefix the file name with file:// or use the command M-x eww-open-file.

If you invoke eww with a prefix argument, as in C-u M-x eww, it will create a new EWW buffer instead of reusing the default one, which is normally called *eww*.

If loading the URL was successful the buffer *eww* is opened and the web page is rendered in it. You can leave EWW by pressing q or exit the browser by calling eww-quit. To reload the web page hit g (eww-reload).

Pressing w when point is on a link will call shr-maybe-probe-and-copy-url, which copies this link’s URL to the kill ring. If point is not on a link, pressing w calls eww-copy-page-url, which will copy the current page’s URL to the kill ring instead.

The M-RET command (eww-open-in-new-buffer) opens the URL at point in a new EWW buffer, akin to opening a link in a new “tab” in other browsers. When global-tab-line-mode is enabled, this buffer is displayed in the tab on the window tab line. When tab-bar-mode is enabled, a new tab is created on the frame tab bar.

The R command (eww-readable) will attempt to determine which part of the document contains the “readable” text, and will only display this part. This usually gets rid of menus and the like.

The F command (eww-toggle-fonts) toggles whether to use variable-pitch fonts or not. This sets the shr-use-fonts variable.

The M-C command (eww-toggle-colors) toggles whether to use HTML-specified colors or not. This sets the shr-use-colors variable.

The M-I command (eww-toggle-images, capital letter i) toggles whether to display images or not. This also sets the shr-inhibit-images variable.

A URL can be downloaded with d (eww-download). This will download the link under point if there is one, or else the URL of the current page. The file will be written to the directory specified by eww-download-directory (default: ~/Downloads/, if it exists; otherwise as specified by the ‘DOWNLOADXDG directory)).

EWW remembers the URLs you have visited to allow you to go back and forth between them. By pressing l (eww-back-url) you go to the previous URL. You can go forward again with r (eww-forward-url). If you want an overview of your browsing history press H (eww-list-histories) to open the history buffer *eww history*. The history is lost when EWW is quit. If you want to remember websites you can use bookmarks.

Along with the URLs visited, EWW also remembers both the rendered page (as it appears in the buffer) and its source. This can take a considerable amount of memory, so EWW discards the history entries to keep their number within a set limit, as specified by eww-history-limit; the default being 50. This variable could also be set to nil to allow for the history list to grow indefinitely.

PDFs are viewed inline, by default, with doc-view-mode, but this can be customized by using the mailcap (see mailcap in Emacs MIME Manual) mechanism, in particular mailcap-mime-data.

EWW allows you to bookmark URLs. Simply hit b (eww-add-bookmark) to store a bookmark for the current website. You can view stored bookmarks with B (eww-list-bookmarks). This will open the bookmark buffer *eww bookmarks*.

To get summary of currently opened EWW buffers, press S (eww-list-buffers). The *eww buffers* buffer allows you to quickly kill, flip through and switch to specific EWW buffer. To switch EWW buffers through a minibuffer prompt, press s (eww-switch-to-buffer).

Although EWW and shr.el do their best to render webpages in GNU Emacs some websites use features which can not be properly represented or are not implemented (e.g., JavaScript). If you have trouble viewing a website with EWW then hit & (eww-browse-with-external-browser) inside the EWW buffer to open the website in the external browser specified by browse-url-secondary-browser-function. Some content types, such as video or audio content, do not make sense to display in GNU Emacs at all. You can tell EWW to open specific content automatically in an external browser by customizing eww-use-external-browser-for-content-type.

3 Advanced

EWW normally uses url-retrieve to fetch the HTML before rendering it, and url-retrieve-synchronously when the value of eww-retrieve-command is sync. It can sometimes be convenient to use an external program to do this, and eww-retrieve-command should then be a list that specifies a command and the parameters. For instance, to use the Chromium browser, you could say something like this:

(setq eww-retrieve-command
      '("chromium" "--headless" "--dump-dom"))

The command should return the HTML on standard output, and the data should use UTF-8 as the charset.

You can view the source of a website with v (eww-view-source). This will open a new buffer *eww-source* and insert the source. The buffer will be set to html-mode if available.

EWW handles cookies through the (url)url package package. You can list existing cookies with C (url-cookie-list). For details about the Cookie handling See (url)Cookies.

Many HTML pages have images embedded in them, and EWW will download most of these by default. When fetching images, cookies can be sent and received, and these can be used to track users. To control when to send cookies when retrieving these images, the shr-cookie-policy variable can be used. The default value, same-origin, means that EWW will only send cookies when fetching images that originate from the same source as the HTML page. nil means “never send cookies when retrieving these images” and t means “always send cookies when retrieving these images”.

When following links in EWW, URLs that match the eww-use-browse-url regexp will be passed to browse-url instead of EWW handling them itself. The action can be further customized by altering browse-url-handlers.

The header line of the EWW buffer can be changed by customizing eww-header-line-format. The format replaces %t with the title of the website and %u with the URL.

The D command (eww-toggle-paragraph-direction) toggles the paragraphs direction between left-to-right and right-to-left text. This can be useful on web pages that display right-to-left test (like Arabic and Hebrew), but where the web pages don’t explicitly state the directionality.

Loading random images from the web can be problematic due to their size or content. By customizing shr-max-image-proportion you can set the maximal image proportion in relation to the window they are displayed in. E.g., 0.7 means an image is allowed to take up 70% of the width and height. If Emacs supports image scaling, then larger images are scaled down. You can block specific images completely by customizing shr-blocked-images.

You can control image display by customizing shr-inhibit-images. If this variable is nil, display the “ALT” text of images instead.

EWW (or rather its HTML renderer shr) uses the colors declared in the HTML page, but adjusts them if needed to keep a certain minimum contrast. If that is still too low for you, you can customize the variables shr-color-visible-distance-min and shr-color-visible-luminance-min to get a better contrast.

By default, the max width used when rendering is 120 characters, but this can be adjusted by changing the shr-max-width variable. If a specified width is preferred no matter what the width of the window is, shr-width can be set. If both variables are nil, the window width will always be used.

The HTML attribute aria-hidden is meant to tell screen readers to ignore a tag’s contents. You can customize the variable shr-discard-aria-hidden to tell shr to ignore such tags. This can be useful when using a screen reader on the output of shr (e.g., on EWW buffer text). It can be useful even when not using a screen reader, since web authors often put this attribute on non-essential decorative elements.

In addition to maintaining the history at run-time, EWW will also save the partial state of its buffers (the URIs and the titles of the pages visited) in the desktop file if one is used. See Saving Emacs Sessions in The GNU Emacs Manual.

EWW history may sensibly contain multiple entries for the same page URI. At run-time, these entries may still have different associated point positions or the actual Web page contents. The latter, however, tend to be overly large to preserve in the desktop file, so they get omitted, thus rendering the respective entries entirely equivalent. By default, such duplicate entries are not saved. Setting eww-desktop-remove-duplicates to nil will force EWW to save them anyway.

Restoring EWW buffers’ contents may prove to take too long to finish. When the eww-restore-desktop variable is set to nil (the default), EWW will not try to reload the last visited Web page when the buffer is restored from the desktop file, thus allowing for faster Emacs start-up times. When set to t, restoring the buffers will also initiate the reloading of such pages.

The EWW buffer restored from the desktop file but not yet reloaded will contain a prompt, as specified by the eww-restore-reload-prompt variable. The value of this variable will be passed through substitute-command-keys upon each use, thus allowing for the use of the usual substitutions, such as \[eww-reload] for the current key binding of the eww-reload command.

If the eww-auto-rename-buffer user option is non-nil, EWW buffers will be renamed after rendering a document. If this is title, rename based on the title of the document. If this is url, rename based on the URL of the document. This can also be a user-defined function, which is called with no parameters in the EWW buffer, and should return a string.

EWW runs the URLs through eww-url-transformers before using them. This user option is a list of functions, where each function is called with the URL as the parameter, and should return the (possibly) transformed URL. By default, this variable contains eww-remove-tracking, which removes the common ‘utm_’ trackers from links.

If Emacs has been built with xwidget support, EWW can use that to display ‘<video>’ elements. However, this support is still experimental, and on some systems doesn’t work (and even worse) may crash your Emacs, so this feature is off by default. If you wish to switch it on, set shr-use-xwidgets-for-media to a non-nil value.

4 Command Line Usage

It can be convenient to start eww directly from the command line. The eww-browse function can be used for that:

emacs -f eww-browse https://gnu.org

This also allows registering Emacs as a MIME handler for the ‘"text/x-uri"’ media type. How to do that varies between systems, but typically you’d register the handler to call ‘"emacs -f eww-browse %u"’.

Appendix A History and Acknowledgments

EWW was originally written by Lars Ingebrigtsen, known for his work on Gnus. He started writing an Emacs HTML rendering library, shr.el, to read blogs in Gnus. He eventually added a web browser front end and HTML form support. Which resulted in EWW, the Emacs Web Wowser. EWW was announced on 16 June 2013: https://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2013/06/16/eww/.

EWW was then moved from the Gnus repository to GNU Emacs and several developers started contributing to it as well.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
  1. PREAMBLE

    The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document free in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others.

    This License is a kind of “copyleft”, which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software.

    We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.

  2. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS

    This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The “Document”, below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as “you”. You accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law.

    A “Modified Version” of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language.

    A “Secondary Section” is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document’s overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them.

    The “Invariant Sections” are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.

    The “Cover Texts” are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.

    A “Transparent” copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, that is suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not “Transparent” is called “Opaque”.

    Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output purposes only.

    The “Title Page” means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, “Title Page” means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work’s title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.

    The “publisher” means any person or entity that distributes copies of the Document to the public.

    A section “Entitled XYZ” means a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as “Acknowledgements”, “Dedications”, “Endorsements”, or “History”.) To “Preserve the Title” of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section “Entitled XYZ” according to this definition.

    The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License.

  3. VERBATIM COPYING

    You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.

    You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies.

  4. COPYING IN QUANTITY

    If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document’s license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.

    If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.

    If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public has access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.

    It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.

  5. MODIFICATIONS

    You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:

    1. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
    2. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement.
    3. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher.
    4. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
    5. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices.
    6. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
    7. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document’s license notice.
    8. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
    9. Preserve the section Entitled “History”, Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled “History” in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.
    10. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the “History” section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
    11. For any section Entitled “Acknowledgements” or “Dedications”, Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
    12. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
    13. Delete any section Entitled “Endorsements”. Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version.
    14. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled “Endorsements” or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
    15. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.

    If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version’s license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.

    You may add a section Entitled “Endorsements”, provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties—for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard.

    You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.

    The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

  6. COMBINING DOCUMENTS

    You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.

    The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.

    In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled “History” in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled “History”; likewise combine any sections Entitled “Acknowledgements”, and any sections Entitled “Dedications”. You must delete all sections Entitled “Endorsements.”

  7. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS

    You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.

    You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.

  8. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS

    A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation’s users beyond what the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document.

    If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, the Document’s Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate.

  9. TRANSLATION

    Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.

    If a section in the Document is Entitled “Acknowledgements”, “Dedications”, or “History”, the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual title.

  10. TERMINATION

    You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.

    However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

    Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.

    Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does not give you any rights to use it.

  11. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE

    The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See https://www.gnu.org/licenses/.

    Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this License can be used, that proxy’s public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Document.

  12. RELICENSING

    “Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site” (or “MMC Site”) means any World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A “Massive Multiauthor Collaboration” (or “MMC”) contained in the site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC site.

    “CC-BY-SA” means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco, California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license published by that same organization.

    “Incorporate” means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or in part, as part of another Document.

    An MMC is “eligible for relicensing” if it is licensed under this License, and if all works that were first published under this License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008.

    The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.

ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents

To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the License in the document and put the following copyright and license notices just after the title page:

  Copyright (C)  year  your name.
  Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
  under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
  or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
  with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
  Texts.  A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
  Free Documentation License''.

If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace the “with…Texts.” line with this:

    with the Invariant Sections being list their titles, with
    the Front-Cover Texts being list, and with the Back-Cover Texts
