w3m as renderer for html, like in emacs

[Olexandr Sydorchuk <olexandr.syd@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, 

I'm searching for simple text html renderer to use it in my project. I'd
prefer to have some external program and communicate via pipes. I'm not
so good in lisp, and I cant understand looking on source, how emacs
communicate with w3m. I see that emacs call processes like

`/usr/local/bin/w3m -no-cookie -o follow_redirection=0 -o
user_agent="Emacs-w3m/1.4.356 w3m/0.5.2" -dump_extra
"http://www.gmane.com"`

But it return some web page and it work like simple wget! So, does emacs
render html or w3m do that? If w3m render html, can I ask "How its
work?"
