# Ersatz
A simple web browser that I (Finn Barber) am making for my A-level computing project.
## Build
First make sure you have a working C compiler and install headers for libCurl, libXML2 (AT LEAST 2.9.13, webpages will appear blank on earlier versions), libSDL2, libSDL2-image, and libSDL2-ttf. Then run
```
make
```
## Running
Now you can run Ersatz by simply typing `./ersatz`.
Command-line options include:
```
--url=www.google.com # Set the starting URL
--fg=#123456 # Set the foreground colour
--bg=#123456 # Set the background colour
--hl=#123456 # Set the hyperlink colour
--sp=#123456 # Set the seperator colour
```
## Controls
Click the URL bar to enter a URL to navigate to. Use PgUp and PgDown to scroll up and down respectively. Hyperlinks are clickable as expected. The Back button, or backspace, will navigate to the previous page.
