;;; Commentary:

;; Overview
;; --------

;; Newsticker provides a newsticker for Emacs.  A newsticker is a thing
;; that asynchronously retrieves headlines from a list of news sites,
;; prepares these headlines for reading, and allows for loading the
;; corresponding articles in a web browser.

;; Headlines consist of a title and (possibly) a small description.  They
;; are contained in "RSS" (RDF Site Summary) or "Atom" files.  Newsticker
;; should work with the following RSS formats:
;;  * RSS 0.91
;;    (see http://backend.userland.com/rss091 or
;;    http://my.netscape.com/publish/formats/rss-spec-0.91.html)
;;  * RSS 0.92
;;    (see http://backend.userland.com/rss092)
;;  * RSS 1.0
;;    (see http://purl.org/rss/1.0/spec)
;;  * RSS 2.0
;;    (see http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss)
;; as well as the following Atom formats:
;;  * Atom 0.3
;;  * Atom 1.0
;;    (see http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-atompub-format-11.txt)
;; That makes Newsticker.el an "Atom aggregator, "RSS reader", "RSS
;; aggregator", and "Feed Reader".

;; Newsticker provides several commands for reading headlines, navigating
;; through them, marking them as read/unread, hiding old headlines
;; etc.  Headlines can be displayed as plain text or as rendered HTML.

;; Headlines can be displayed in the echo area, either scrolling like
;; messages in a stock-quote ticker, or just changing.

;; Newsticker allows for automatic processing of headlines by providing
;; hooks and (sample) functions for automatically downloading images and
;; enclosed files (as delivered by podcasts, e.g.).

;; Requirements
;; ------------
;; Newsticker can be used with GNU Emacs version 21.1 or later as well as
;; XEmacs.  It requires an XML-parser (`xml.el') which is part of GNU
;; Emacs.  If you are using XEmacs you want to get the `net-utils' package
;; which contains `xml.el' for XEmacs.

;; Newsticker requires a program which can retrieve files via http and
;; prints them to stdout.  By default Newsticker will use wget for this
;; task.

;; Installation
;; ------------

;; If you are using Newsticker as part of GNU Emacs there is no need to
;; perform any installation steps in order to use Newsticker.  Otherwise
;; place Newsticker in a directory where Emacs can find it.  Add the
;; following line to your Emacs startup file (`~/.emacs').
;;   (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/newsticker/")
;;   (autoload 'newsticker-start "newsticker" "Emacs Newsticker" t)
;;   (autoload 'newsticker-show-news "newsticker" "Emacs Newsticker" t)

;; If you are using `imenu', which allows for navigating with the help of a
;; menu, you should add the following to your Emacs startup file
;; (`~/.emacs').
;;   (add-hook 'newsticker-mode-hook 'imenu-add-menubar-index)

;; That's it.

;; Usage
;; -----
;; The command newsticker-show-news will display all available headlines in
;; a special buffer, called `*newsticker*'.  It will also start the
;; asynchronous download of headlines.  The modeline in the `*newsticker*'
;; buffer informs whenever new headlines have arrived.  Clicking
;; mouse-button 2 or pressing RET in this buffer on a headline will call
;; browse-url to load the corresponding news story in your favourite web
;; browser.

;; The scrolling, or flashing of headlines in the echo area, can be started
;; with the command newsticker-start-ticker.  It can be stopped with
;; newsticker-stop-ticker.

;; If you just want to start the periodic download of headlines use the
;; command newsticker-start.  Calling newsticker-stop will stop the
;; periodic download, but will call newsticker-stop-ticker as well.

;; Configuration
;; -------------
;; All Newsticker options are customizable, i.e. they can be changed with
;; Emacs customization methods: Call the command customize-group and enter
;; `newsticker' for the customization group.

;; All Newsticker options have reasonable default values, so that in most
;; cases it is not necessary to customize settings before starting
;; Newsticker for the first time.

;; Newsticker options are organized in the following groups.

;; * newsticker-feed contains options that define which news
;;   feeds are retrieved and how this is done.
;;   o newsticker-url-list defines the list of headlines which are
;;     retrieved.
;;   o newsticker-retrieval-interval defines how often headlines are
;;     retrieved.
;; * newsticker-headline-processing contains options that define how the
;;   retrieved headlines are processed.
;;   o newsticker-keep-obsolete-items decides whether unread headlines that
;;     have been removed from the feed are kept in the Newsticker cache.
;; * newsticker-layout contains options that define how the buffer for
;;   reading news headlines is formatted.
;;   o newsticker-item-format defines how the title of a headline is
;;     formatted.
;; * newsticker-ticker contains options that define how headlines are shown
;;   in the echo area.
;;   o newsticker-display-interval and newsticker-scroll-smoothly define
;;     how headlines are shown in the echo area.
;; * newsticker-hooks contains options for hooking other Emacs commands to
;;   newsticker functions.
;;   o newsticker-new-item-functions allows for automatic processing of
;;     headlines.  See `newsticker-download-images', and
;;     `newsticker-download-enclosures' for sample functions.
;; * newsticker-miscellaneous contains other Newsticker options.

;; Please have a look at the customization buffers for the complete list of
;; options.

;; Remarks
;; -------
;; This newsticker is designed do its job silently in the background
;; without disturbing you.  However, it is probably impossible to prevent
;; such a tool from slightly attenuating your Editor's responsiveness every
;; once in a while.

;; Byte-compiling newsticker.el is recommended.

;; ======================================================================
;;; History:

;; 1.10 (2007-01-29)
;;     * Bugfixes mostly: `newsticker--decode-iso8601-date',
;;       `newsticker--sentinel', and others.
;;     * Renamed `newsticker--retrieval-timer-list' to
;;       `newsticker-retrieval-timer-list'.  Removed
;;       `newsticker-running-p' -- check newsticker-retrieval-timer-list
;;       to find out whether newsticker is running.  Removed
;;       `newsticker-ticker-running-p'.
;;     * Try to cache images in w3m-rendered HTML text.
;;     * Other minor changes.

;; 1.9 (2005-11-01)
;;     * Rewrote feed parsing part.  Newsticker now supports RSS 0.91,
;;       0.92, 1.0, 2.0 as well as Atom 0.3 and 1.0 -- thanks to Thien-Thi
;;       Nguyen.
;;     * Changed auto-marking mechanism: Replaced variable
;;       `newsticker-auto-mark-filter' with new variable
;;       `newsticker-auto-mark-filter-list', which allows for looking not
;;       only at the title but also at the description of a headline.
;;     * Call `newsticker--ticker-text-setup' only after all pending
;;       downloads processes have finished.
;;     * Improved handling of coding systems.
;;     * Added magic autoload comments.
;;     * Bugfixes:
;;       - `hide-entry' was hiding too much when called for the last
;;          headline,
;;       - update mode-line and menu-bar when necessary,
;;       - repaired `newsticker--imenu-goto',
;;       - other minor things.

;; 1.8 (2005-08-26)
;;     * Added commands `newsticker-show-extra' and `newsticker-hide-extra'
;;       to show and hide extra RSS elements, bound to "sx" and "hx"
;;       resp. Changed default value of `newsticker-show-all-rss-elements'
;;       to nil.
;;     * mode-line: Introduced special mode-line-format for newsticker.
;;     * Get feed logos only once every 24 h.
;;     * Default faces changed.
;;     * Minor fixes.

;; 1.7 (2005-06-25)
;;     * Tool-bar support: most important commands can be called from
;;       tool-bar buttons.
;;     * Auto-Narrowing introduced: *newsticker* buffer can be narrowed to
;;       a single item (bound to key `xi') or a single feed (bound to
;;       `xf').
;;     * Enclosure support: enclosed items are shown (see
;;       `newsticker-enclosure-face') and can be (automatically) downloaded
;;       (see below). For those of you who read "podcasts".
;;     * Added variable `newsticker-auto-mark-filter' for automatically
;;       marking items as immortal or old.
;;     * Added hook variable `newsticker-new-item-functions' for handling
;;       new items.  Added sample functions `newsticker-download-images',
;;       and `newsticker-download-enclosures'.
;;     * Added hook variable `newsticker-select-item-hook' which is run
;;       after `newsticker-(next|previous)-(new-)?-item'.
;;     * Added hook variable `newsticker-select-feed-hook' which is run
;;       after `newsticker-(next|previous)-feed'.
;;     * Added hook variable `newsticker-buffer-change-hook' which is run
;;       after the contents or visibility of the newsticker buffer has
;;       changed, e.g. after `newsticker-buffer-update' or
;;       `newsticker-show-feed-desc'.
;;     * Added command `newsticker-handle-url' for interactively launching
;;       arbitrary programs for URLs, bound to `C-RET'.
;;     * URLs in extra elements are clickable.
;;     * Better support for w3, added command
;;       `newsticker-w3m-show-inline-images' for displaying all inline
;;       images.
;;     * Insert an artificial headline which notifies about failed
;;       retrievals.
;;     * Use pubDate element (RSS 2.0) instead of retrieval time when
;;       available.
;;     * Customizable options grouped.
;;     * Bugfixes: `newsticker--imenu-create-index'; strip whitespace
;;       from links; apply coding-system to extra-elements; time-comparison
;;       for obsolete items; and others which I have forgotten.
;;     * Workaround for another bug in xml-parse-region -- thanks to
;;       anonymous for sending patch.
;;     * Renamed invisible buffers ` *wget-newsticker-<feed>*' to
;;       ` *newsticker-wget-<feed>*'.
;;     * Tested with GNU Emacs versions 21.3 and 22.0 and XEmacs
;;       21.something.

;; 1.6 * Support for (some) optional RSS elements: guid, dc:date. See
;;       `newsticker-show-all-rss-elements' `newsticker-extra-face'.
;;     * Better support for w3m -- `newsticker-default-face' is obsolete
;;       now, removed `newsticker-w3m-toggle-inline-image'.
;;     * Added `newsticker-desc-comp-max' -- comparison of item
;;       descriptions can take quite some time.
;;     * Added `newsticker--buffer-make-item-completely-visible' to
;;       ensure that the current item is fully visible.
;;     * Allow for non-positive retrieval-interval, which make newsticker
;;       get news only once.
;;     * Use :set for customizable variables.
;;     * Added `newsticker-buffer-force-update', bound to key `U'.
;;     * Added concept of obsolete items, see
;;       `newsticker-keep-obsolete-items', `newsticker-obsolete-item-face',
;;       `newsticker-obsolete-item-max-age'.
;;     * Added `newsticker-add-url'.
;;     * OPML export.
;;     * Save pre-formatted titles => even better performance!!
;;     * `newsticker-*-new-item' wraps at beginning/end of buffer.
;;     * Always sort obsolete items to end of item list.
;;     * Bugfixes:
;;       - newsticker-hide-entry,
;;       - changes of feed-titles led to duplicate feed items,
;;       - faces for rendered HTML texts,
;;       - length of ticker-text (for "exotic"/multibyte texts),
;;         Thanks to Hiroshi Maruyama.
;;       - suppress items with empty title and description
;;       - newsticker-sort-method was ignored!
;;       - prevent call of fill-region on HTML-rendered descriptions.

;; 1.5 * Rewrote the visibility stuff. newsticker does not inherit
;;       outline anymore.  Now you have complete freedom for
;;       `newsticker-*-format'.
;;     * Save pre-formatted descriptions => incredible performance boost!!
;;     * Introduced `newsticker-(start|stop)-ticker'.
;;     * Introduced statistics for heading-format and
;;       `newsticker-statistics-face'.
;;     * Introduced `newsticker-enable-logo-manipulations'.
;;     * Compare link of items (as well as title and desc).

The LABEL gives the name of the news feed.  It can be an arbitrary string.

The URL gives the location of the news feed.  It must point to a valid
RSS or Atom file.  The file is retrieved by calling wget, or whatever you
specify as `newsticker-wget-name'.

The START-TIME can be either a string, or nil.  If it is a string it
specifies a fixed time at which this feed shall be retrieved for the
first time.  (Examples: \"11:00pm\", \"23:00\".)  If it is nil (or
unspecified), this feed will be retrieved immediately after calling
`newsticker-start'.

The INTERVAL specifies the time between retrievals for this feed.  If it
is nil (or unspecified) the default interval value as set in
`newsticker-retrieval-interval' is used.

\(newsticker.el calls `run-at-time'. The newsticker-parameters START-TIME
and INTERVAL correspond to the `run-at-time'-parameters TIME and REPEAT.)
