Well this is a probably a more appropriate configuration although still does
nothing in this case.
<p:viewport match="/Document/html/content/chunk/html">
<p:exec command="/usr/bin/w3m"
source-is-xml="true"
result-is-xml="false"
wrap-result-lines="true"
args="'-dump'">
</p:exec>
</p:viewport>
Although when I change the path to /Document/html/content/chunk it does
return the html document wrapped although not a text version I'm looking
for. I'm looking more into the source code to figure it out.
