Introduction</h2></div></div></div><p>Newsbeuter is an RSS feedreader. RSS is a number of widely-used XML formats to
transmit, publish and syndicate articles, for example news or blog articles.
Newsbeuter is designed to be used on text terminals on Unix or Unix-like
systems such as Linux, FreeBSD or Mac OS X.</p><div class="section" title="1.1. Platforms"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_platforms"></a>1.1. Platforms</h3></div></div></div><p>Newsbeuter has been tested on Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X, and is available in
the form of pre-built packages for many popular Linux distributions. For a current
list of distributions with newsbeuter packages, consult <a class="ulink" href="http://www.newsbeuter.org/download.html" target="_top">this list on the newsbeuter website</a>.</p><p>OpenBSD is currently unsupported, as it lacks even the most basic support for
internationalization and localization.</p><p>NetBSD is currently not supported, due to technical limitations in the iconv()
implementation.</p></div><div class="section" title="1.2. Why "Newsbeuter"?"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_why_newsbeuter"></a>1.2. Why "Newsbeuter"?</h3></div></div></div><p>"Newsbeuter" is a pun on the German word "Wildbeuter", which means
"hunter-gatherer". During the stone age, people hunted and gathered their food,
and these days, they hunt and gather news and information. Credits for this
idea goes to Clifford Wolf, who submitted it to a little competition that was
started when I got aware that the original name would violate French and
European registered trademarks.</p></div></div><div class="section" title="2. Installation"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_installation"></a>2.

Downloading Newsbeuter"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_downloading_newsbeuter"></a>2.1. Downloading Newsbeuter</h3></div></div></div><p>Newsbeuter is available as source package. Simply go to
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.newsbeuter.org/" target="_top">http://www.newsbeuter.org/</a> and download the latest source package, which is
usually in the .tar.gz file format. Alternatively, you can check out the latest
development source tree from the newsbeuter Git repository (hosted on GitHub)
by running the following command on the commandline:</p><pre class="literallayout">git clone git://github.com/akrennmair/newsbeuter.git</pre></div><div class="section" title="2.2. Dependencies"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_dependencies"></a>2.2. Dependencies</h3></div></div></div><p>Newsbeuter depends on a number of libraries to function correctly. This table
lists these dependencies. Please be aware that the list libraries may
themselves depend on other libraries. These dependencies are not listed here.
Please also be aware that you need a recent C++ compiler. Currently, newsbeuter
has only been tested with GCC.</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">

need Coco/R for C++, which you can download from
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.ssw.uni-linz.ac.at/coco/" target="_top">http://www.ssw.uni-linz.ac.at/coco/</a>. The Coco/R binary must be installed as
"cococpp" in your PATH. Debian users only need to install the package
"coco-cpp". Use the "regenerate-parser" make target to regenerate the necessary
files.</p></div><div class="section" title="2.3. Compiling and Installing"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_compiling_and_installing"></a>2.3. Compiling and Installing</h3></div></div></div><p>After you’ve downloaded and installed the dependencies mentioned above, you can
start compiling and installing newsbeuter. To compile newsbeuter, simply run
"make" in the source tree. After a short time, this should complete
successfully, and you can go on with installation by running "make install". By
default, this will install the "newsbeuter" binary to the /usr/local/bin
directory. You can provide an alternative installation path using the prefix
parameter, e.g. running "make install prefix=/opt/newsbeuter" will install the
binary to the directory /opt/newsbeuter/bin.</p></div></div><div class="section" title="3. First Steps"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_first_steps"></a>3. First Steps</h2></div></div></div><p>After you’ve installed newsbeuter, you can run it for the first time by typing
"newsbeuter" on your command prompt. This will bring you the following message:</p><pre class="literallayout">Error: no URLs configured. Please fill the file /home/ak/.newsbeuter/urls with RSS feed URLs or import an OPML file.</pre><pre class="literallayout">newsbeuter 2.4

-h this help</pre><p>This means that newsbeuter can’t start without any configured feeds. To add
feeds to newsbeuter, you can either add URLs to the configuration file
$HOME/.newsbeuter/urls or you can import an OPML file by running "newsbeuter -i
blogroll.opml". To manually add URLs, open the file with your favorite text
editor and add the URLs, one per line:</p><pre class="literallayout">http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss
http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_world_edition/front_page/rss.xml</pre><p>If you need to add URLs that have restricted access via username/password, simply
provide the username/password in the following way:</p><pre class="literallayout">http://username:password@hostname.domain.tld/feed.rss</pre><p>In order to protect username and password, make sure that
$HOME/.newsbeuter/urls has the appropriate permissions. Newsbeuter also makes
sure that usernames and passwords within URLs aren’t displayed in its user
interface. In case there is a <span class="emphasis"><em>@</em></span> in the username, you need to write it as
<span class="emphasis"><em>%40</em></span> instead so that it can be distinguished from the <span class="emphasis"><em>@</em></span> that separates the
username/password part from the hostname part.</p><p>You can also configure local files as feeds, by prefixing the local path with
"file://" and adding it to the $HOME/.newsbeuter/urls file:</p><pre class="literallayout">file:///var/log/rss_eventlog.xml</pre><p>Now you can run newsbeuter again, and it will present you with a controllable
list of the URLs that you configured previously. You can now start downloading
the feeds, either by pressing "R" to download all feeds, or by pressing "r" to
download the currently selected feed. You can then select a feed you want to
read, and by pressing "Enter", you can go to the article list for this feed.
This works even while the downloading is still in progress. You can now see
the list of available articles by their title. A "N" on the left indicates that
an article wasn’t read yet. Pressing Enter brings you to the content of the
article. You can scroll through this text, and also run a browser (default:
lynx) to view the complete article if the content is empty or just an abstract
or a short description. Pressing "q" brings you back to the article list, and
pressing "q" again brings you back to the feed list. Pressing "q" a third time
then closes newsbeuter.</p><p>Newsbeuter caches the article that it downloads. This means that when you start
newsbeuter again and reload a feed, the old articles can still be read even if
they aren’t in the current RSS feeds anymore. Optionally you can configure how
many articles shall be preserved by feed so that the article backlog doesn’t
grow endlessly (see "max-items" below).</p><p>Newsbeuter also uses a number of measures to preserve the users' and feed
providers' bandwidth, by trying to avoid unnecessary feed downloads through the
use of conditional HTTP downloading. It saves every feed’s "Last-Modified" and
"ETag" response header values (if present) and advises the feed’s HTTP server
to only send data if the feed has been updated by modification date/time or
"ETag" header. This doesn’t only make feed downloads for RSS feeds with no new
updates faster, it also reduces the amount of transferred data per request.
Conditional HTTP downloading can be optionally disabled per feed by using the
"always-download" configuration command.</p><p>Several aspects of newsbeuter’s behaviour can be configured via a configuration
file, by default $HOME/.newsbeuter/config. This configuration file contains
lines in the form "<config-command> <arg1> …". The configuration file can
also contain comments, which start with the <span class="emphasis"><em>#</em></span> character and go as far as the
end of line. If you need to enter a configuration argument that contains
spaces, use quotes (") around the whole argument. It’s even possible to
integrate the output of external commands into the configuration. The text
between two backticks ("`") is evaluated as shell command, and its output is
put on its place instead. This works like backtick evaluation in
Bourne-compatible shells and allows users to use external information from the
system within the configuration.</p><p>Searching for articles is possible in newsbeuter, too. Just press the "/" key,
enter your search phrase, and the title and content of all articles are
searched for it. When you do a search from the list of feeds, all articles of
all feeds will be searched. When you do a search from the article list of a
feed, only the articles of the currently viewed feed are searched. When opening
an article from a search result dialog, the search phrase is highlighted.</p><p>The history of all your searches is saved to the filesystem, to
\~/.newsbeuter/history.search. By default, the last 100 search phrases are
stored, but this limited can be influenced through the "history-limit"
configuration variable. To disable search history saving, simply set the
history-limit to 0.</p><div class="table"><a id="id515543"></a><p class="title"><b>Table 1.

This configuration command sets the source where URLs shall be retrieved from. By default, this is ~/.newsbeuter/urls. Alternatively, you can set it to "opml", which enables newsbeuter’s OPML online subscription mode, to "ttrss" which enables newsbeuter’s Tiny Tiny RSS support, or to "googlereader", which enables newsbeuter’s Google Reader support. In order to make Google Reader support work correctly, you also need to set googlereader-login and googlereader-password, while the Tiny Tiny RSS support requires login, password and URL of the Tiny Tiny RSS installation to use (see above).

Migrating from other RSS Feed Readers"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_migrating_from_other_rss_feed_readers"></a>3.3. Migrating from other RSS Feed Readers</h3></div></div></div><p>It is very likely that you have used other RSS feed readers before. In this
case, it is practical to migrate the previous configuration to newsbeuter. The
vast amount of RSS feed readers allows the export of subscriptions via OPML
files. OPML is an XML file format that was designed to save outlines, and has
found its primary use in the import and export of feed subscriptions between
different RSS feed readers.</p><p>The best thing to start with is to export your subscriptions from the old
reader. Usually, RSS feed readers have appropriate menu items available to do
so.</p><p>Snownews provides a script to convert your current subscription file into an
OPML file:</p><pre class="literallayout">snow2opml > ~/blogroll.opml</pre><p>This command creates from your Snownews configuration a file blogroll.opml in
your home directory. To export the subscription list from raggle, the
following command is necessary:</p><pre class="literallayout">raggle --export-opml ~/blogroll.opml</pre><p>When you have exported the subscriptions from your old RSS feed reader, you can
import them into newsbeuter:</p><pre class="literallayout">newsbeuter -i ~/blogroll.opml</pre><p>Don’t worry, newsbeuter won’t destroy your existing configuration, or add
subscriptions more than once: every URL that is added to the subscription list
is checked before whether it is already in the list, and is only added if not.
This makes it possible to merge several OPML files into your subscription list.</p><p>If your old RSS feed reader was able to structure your subscriptions in
hierarchies, and reflected this structure in the exported OPML file, newsbeuter
doesn’t throw away this information (although it doesn’t support hierarchies), but
generates tags from it. Tags are newsbeuter’s way of organizing subscriptions
in a non-hierarchical way. More information on the use of tags can be found below.</p><p>Imagine the following folder hierarchy:</p><pre class="literallayout">|- News
| |- Europe
| `- International
|- IT
| |- Linux
| |- Windows
| `- Programming
| |- C++
| |- Ruby
| `- Erlang
`- Private</pre><p>Subscriptions found in the folder "Private" will be tagged with "Private",
subscriptions in the folder "International" will be tagged with "News" and
"News/International", subscriptions in the folder "Erlang" will be tagged ith
"IT", "IT/Programming" and "IT/Programming/Erlang", and so on. This means that
when you select the tag "Programming" in newsbeuter, you will see all
subscriptions that were in the "Programming" folder or one of its subfolders
before. This means that you will lose virtually nothing of your previously
configured structure.</p></div></div><div class="section" title="4. Advanced Features"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_advanced_features"></a>4. Advanced Features</h2></div></div></div><div class="section" title="4.1. Tagging"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_tagging"></a>4.1. Tagging</h3></div></div></div><p>Newsbeuter comes with the possibility to categorize or "tag", as we call it,
RSS feeds. Every RSS feed can be assigned 0 or more tags. Within newsbeuter, you
can then select to only show RSS feeds that match a certain tag. That makes it
easy to categorize your feeds in a flexible and powerful way.</p><p>Usually, the ~/.newsbeuter/urls file contains one RSS feed URL per line. To
assign a tag to an RSS feed, simply attach it as a single word, separated by
blanks such as space or tab. If the tag needs to contain spaces, you must use
quotes (") around the tag (see example below). An example \~/.newsbeuter/urls
file may look like this:</p><pre class="literallayout">http://blog.fefe.de/rss.xml?html interesting conspiracy news "cool stuff"
http://rss.orf.at/news.xml news orf
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/heise.rdf news interesting</pre><p>When you now start newsbeuter with this configuration, you can press "t" to select
a tag. When you select the tag "news", you will see all three RSS feeds. Pressing
"t" again and e.g. selecting the "conspiracy" tag, you will only see the
<a class="ulink" href="http://blog.fefe.de/rss.xml?html" target="_top">http://blog.fefe.de/rss.xml?html</a> RSS feed. Pressing "^T" clears the current tag,
and again shows all RSS feeds, regardless of their assigned tags.</p><p>A special type of tag are tags that start with the tilde character ("~"). When such
a tag is found, the feed title is set to the tag name (excluding the \~ character).
With this feature, you can give feeds any title you want in your feed list:</p><pre class="literallayout">http://rss.orf.at/news.xml "~ORF News"</pre><p>Another special type of tag are tags that start with the exclamation mark. When
such a tag is found, the feed is hidden from the regular list of feeds and its
content can only be found through a query feed.</p><pre class="literallayout">http://rss.orf.at/news.xml "!ORF News (hidden)"</pre></div><div class="section" title="4.2. Scripts and Filters (Snownews Extensions)"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_scripts_and_filters_snownews_extensions"></a>4.2. Scripts and Filters (Snownews Extensions)</h3></div></div></div><p>From version 0.4 on, newsbeuter contains support for Snownews extensions. The
RSS feed readers Snownews and Liferea share a common way of extending the
readers with custom scripts. Two mechanisms, namely "execurl" and "filter" type
scripts, are available and supported by newsbeuter.</p><p>An "execurl" script can be any program that gets executed and whose output is
interpreted as RSS feed, while "filter" scripts are fed with the content of a
configured URL and whose output is interpreted as RSS feed.</p><p>The configuration is simple and straight-forward. Just add to your
~/.newsbeuter/urls file configuration lines like the following ones:</p><pre class="literallayout">exec:~/bin/execurl-script
filter:~/bin/filter-script:http://some.test/url</pre><p>The first line shows how to add an execurl script to your configuration: start
the line with "exec:" and then immediately append the path of the script that
shall be executed. If this script requires additional parameters, simply use
quotes:</p><pre class="literallayout">"exec:~/bin/execurl-script param1 param2"</pre><p>The second line shows how to add a filter script to your configuration: start
the line with "filter:", then immediately append the path of the script, then
append a colon (":"), and then append the URL of the file that shall be fed to
the script. Again, if the script requires any parameters, simply quote:</p><pre class="literallayout">"filter:~/bin/filter-script param1 param2:http://url/foobar"</pre><p>In both cases, the tagging feature as described above is still available:</p><pre class="literallayout">exec:~/bin/execurl-script tag1 tag2 "quoted tag"
filter:~/bin/filter-script:http://some.test/url tag3 tag4 tag5</pre><p>A collection of such extension scripts can be found on this website:
<a class="ulink" href="http://kiza.kcore.de/software/snownews/snowscripts/extensions" target="_top">http://kiza.kcore.de/software/snownews/snowscripts/extensions</a></p><p>If you want to write your own extensions, refer to this website for further
instructions: <a class="ulink" href="http://kiza.kcore.de/software/snownews/snowscripts/writing" target="_top">http://kiza.kcore.de/software/snownews/snowscripts/writing</a></p></div><div class="section" title="4.3. Bookmarking"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_bookmarking"></a>4.3. Bookmarking</h3></div></div></div><p>Since version 0.7, newsbeuter contains a plugin-based bookmarking system. When a user bookmarks a link (possible
in the article list, in the article view, and in the URL view), he is asked for the URL to bookmark (already
preset with the URL of the current selection), the bookmark title (in most cases preset with the
title of the current selection) and the bookmark description. After the question for the description, an
external program, configured via the configuration command "bookmark-cmd", is executed with 3 commandline
parameters. The plugin itself implements the actual bookmark saving (e.g. writing the bookmark to an
external file, or storing it to a del.icio.us account). When everything went OK, the plugin simply exits.
In case something goes wrong while saving the bookmark, it writes out an error message as a single line.
This error message is then presented to the user from within newsbeuter.</p><p>Newsbeuter comes with an example plugin, which implements a simple tab-separated bookmark file. This
example can be found in the "doc" subdirectory.</p></div><div class="section" title="4.4. Command Line"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_command_line"></a>4.4. Command Line</h3></div></div></div><p>Like other text-oriented software, newsbeuter contains an internal commandline to
modify configuration variables ad hoc and to run own commands. It provides a flexible
access to the functionality of newsbeuter which is especially useful for
advanced users.</p><p>To start the commandline, type ":". You will see a ":" prompt at the bottom of
the screen, similar to tools like vi(m) or mutt. You can now enter commands.
Pressing the return key executes the command (possibly giving feedback to the
user) and closes the commandline. You can cancel entering commands by pressing
the ESC key. The history of all the commands that you enter will be saved to
\~/.newsbeuter/history.cmdline. The backlog is limited to 100 entries by default,
but can be influenced by setting the "history-limit" configuration variable.
To disable history saving, set the history-limit to 0.</p><p>Starting with newsbeuter 2.0, the commandline provides you with some help if
you can’t remember the full names of commandline commands. By pressing the TAB
key, newsbeuter will try to automatically complete your command. If there is
more than one possible completion, you can subsequently press the TAB key to
cycle through all results. If no match is found, no suggestion will be inserted
into the commandline. For the "set" command, the completion also works for
configuration variable names.</p><p>In addition, some common key combination such as Ctrl-G (to cancel input),
Ctrl-K (to delete text from the cursor position to the end of line), Ctrl-U (to
clear the whole line) and Ctrl-W (to delete the word before the current cursor
position) were added.</p><p>Please be aware that the input history of both the command line and the search
functions are saved to the filesystems, to the files
~/.newsbeuter/history.cmdline resp. \~/.newsbeuter/history.search. By default,
the last 100 entries are saved, but this can be configured (configuration
variable history-limit) and also totally disabled (by setting said variable to
0).</p><p>Currently, the following command line commands are available:</p><div class="table"><a id="id565134"></a><p class="title"><b>Table 3.

Filter Language"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_filter_language"></a>4.5. Filter Language</h3></div></div></div><p>Newsbeuter provides a powerful filter language that enables the user to
filter the content of many dialogs, such as the feed list or the article
list. The basic concept is that every feed and every article has a
number of attributes which can then be compared with user-supplied
values, and these comparisons and be logically AND’ed, OR’ed and
grouped.</p><p>Examples for simple filter expressions are:</p><pre class="literallayout">unread_count > 0
rssurl =~ "^https:"
age between 0:10</pre><p>Logically connecting and grouping such expressions looks like in the
following examples:</p><pre class="literallayout">( unread_count > 0 and unread_count < 10 ) or total_count > 100
( author =~ "Frank" or author =~ "John" ) and ( title =~ "Linux" or title =~ "FreeBSD" )</pre><p>The possibilities for combining such queries is endless, sky (actually:
the available memory) is the limit.</p><p>To filter your feeds, press "F" in the feed list, enter your filter expression,
and press enter. To clear the filter, press Ctrl-F. To filter the articles in the article list,
press "F", enter your expression, and press enter. Clearing the filter works the same as before.
Be aware that only certain attributes work in both dialogs. The table below lists all available
attributes and their context, i.e. an attribute that belongs to a feed can only be matched
in the feed list, while an attribute that belongs to an article can only be matched in the
article list.</p><div class="table"><a id="id565436"></a><p class="title"><b>Table 4.

</td></tr></tbody></table></div></div><br class="table-break" /><p>Note that it’s also possible to filter for feed attributes when you query for
article attributes. This is because every article is internally linked to the
feed from which it was downloaded.</p></div><div class="section" title="4.6. Killfiles"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_killfiles"></a>4.6. Killfiles</h3></div></div></div><p>Sometimes, a user is confronted with certain content he doesn’t want to read,
e.g. on topics the user is not interested in or articles from certain people he
doesn’t want to read. In Usenet, such functionality within software is
traditionally called a "killfile", i.e. based on the content of this "killfile",
articles that match certain conditions do not get displayed and are not presented
to the user at all.</p><p>In newsbeuter, such a "killfile" can be implemented on a per-article basis via
the configuration file. The most important configuration command for this
is "ignore-article":</p><pre class="literallayout">ignore-article "*" "title =~ \"Gentoo\""
ignore-article "http://synflood.at/blog/index.php?/feeds/index.rss2" "title =~ \"newsbeuter\""</pre><p>The basic format is that the user specifies an RSS feed for which the ignore
shall be applied ("*" matches all RSS feeds), and then a filter expression (see
previous section). If newsbeuter hits an article in the specified RSS feed that
matches the specified filter expression, then this article is ignored and never
presented to the user. The configuration itself can contain as many
ignore-article commands as desired.</p><p>Since newsbeuter 2.2, you can specify the way an article is ignored. There are
two ways available:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
During download: articles are ignored when a feed is downloaded and parsed,
and thus won’t be written to the local cache.
</li><li class="listitem">
During display: articles are downloaded and written to the local cache, but
are ignored when a feed is displayed.
</li></ul></div><p>Both modes have their advantages and disadvantages: while the download ignore
mode saves some storage, you cannot simply "undo" the ignore by removing it
from the configuration file: if an ignored article has already vanished from a
feed, it won’t reappear. On the other hand, the display ignore mode requires
some more space, but has the advantage that an ignore can be "undone" by
removing the ignore-article configuration command from the configuration.</p><p>The default ignore mode is "download". You can set the ignore mode in the
configuration file:</p><pre class="literallayout">ignore-mode "display"</pre></div><div class="section" title="4.7. Query Feeds"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_query_feeds"></a>4.7. Query Feeds</h3></div></div></div><p>Query feeds are a mechanism of newsbeuter to define custom "meta feeds" by using
newsbeuter’s built-in filter language. A query feed is a feed that is aggregated
from all currently downloaded articles of all feeds. To narrow down the set of
articles, the user has to specify a filter. Only articles that match this filter
are added to the query feed. A query feed is updated whenever it is entered in
the feed list. When you change the unread flag of an article, this is reflected
in the feed where the article was originally fetched.</p><p>To define a query feed, the user has to add a line to the file
~/.newsbeuter/urls in the following format:</p><pre class="literallayout">query:<name of feed>:<filter expression> [<tag> ...]</pre><p>The "query:" in the beginning tells newsbeuter that it’s a query feed, "<name of
feed>" specifies the name under which the query feed shall be displayed in the
feed list, and "<filter expression>" is the filter expression that shall be
used. Like every other feed, a query feed can be tagged to organize it like
a regular feed.</p><p>A good example for the user of this feature is a query feed that contains all
unread articles:</p><pre class="literallayout">"query:Unread Articles:unread = \"yes\""</pre><p>Note the quotes that are necessary around the complete query "URL" and the
backslashes that are necessary the escape the quotes in the filter expression.</p><p>If you want to combine several feeds to one single feed, a good solution is to
tag the feeds that you want to combine with one certain tag, and then create a
query feed that only displays articles from feeds with that certain tag:</p><pre class="literallayout">http://domain1.tld/feed.xml fun news tag1
http://domain2.tld/?feed.rss private jokes tag1
http://domain3.tld/feeds.rss news
"query:tag1 Articles:tags # \"tag1\""</pre><p>In this example, the feeds <a class="ulink" href="http://domain1.tld/feed.xml" target="_top">http://domain1.tld/feed.xml</a> and
<a class="ulink" href="http://domain2.tld/?feed.rss" target="_top">http://domain2.tld/?feed.rss</a> are aggregated into the query feed named "tag1
Articles", but the feed <a class="ulink" href="http://domain3.tld/feeds.rss" target="_top">http://domain3.tld/feeds.rss</a> is not.</p><p>Basically, the possibility of what can be realized with query feeds is only
limited by what can be queried from articles and feeds with the filter language
and by your creativity.</p></div><div class="section" title="4.8. Google Reader Support"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_google_reader_support"></a>4.8. Google Reader Support</h3></div></div></div><p><a class="ulink" href="http://www.google.com/reader/" target="_top">Google Reader</a> is Google’s web-based feed
aggregator. Newsbeuter provides functionality to use Google Reader as its
backend: people can use Google Reader to manage their subscriptions, and in
addition, use newsbeuter to download and read articles. Newsbeuter will keep
the information which articles have already been read synchronized with Google
Reader, so that users usually won’t see articles more than once. In addition, it
will only ever download unread articles from Google Reader.</p><p>In order to use Google Reader support, you first need to configure the proper URL source:</p><pre class="literallayout">urls-source "googlereader"</pre><p>In addition, newsbeuter needs to know your Google Reader username and password
so that it can authenticate with Google Reader:</p><pre class="literallayout">googlereader-login "your-googlereader-account"
googlereader-password "your-password"</pre><p>After setting these configuration values, you can start newsbeuter, it will
authenticate with Google Reader and download your subscription list. If you use
"folders" in Google Reader to organize your feeds, newsbeuter will regard them
and make them available via its "tags" capability: each feed is tagged with the
name of the folder in which it resides.</p><p>When you mark single items or complete feeds as read, newsbeuter will
synchronize this information directly to Google Reader. This, of course,
includes opening articles. Toggling read articles back to "unread" is also
communicated to Google Reader.</p><p>In addition, Google Reader provides the ability to "star" and to "share"
articles. Starred articles are basically bookmarks, while shared articles are
shown to people that follow your Google Reader account. Newsbeuter allows the
use of this feature by mapping its powerful "flags" to the "star"/"unstar"
resp. "share"/"unshare" operations.</p><p>In order to use this mapping, all you need to do is to configure the flags
that shall be used:</p><pre class="literallayout">googlereader-flag-share "a"
googlereader-flag-star "b"</pre><p>After that, use these flags when you edit flags for an article, and these
articles will be starred resp. shared.</p><p>By default, newsbeuter also shows Google Reader "special feeds":
- People you follow: articles shared by people that you follow.
- Starred items: articles that you starred.
- Shared items: articles that you shared.
- Popular items: articles that are considered to be popular by Google’s algorithms.</p><p>You can disable these feeds by setting the following configuration variable:</p><pre class="literallayout">googlereader-show-special-feeds no</pre></div><div class="section" title="4.9. Bloglines Synchronization"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_bloglines_synchronization"></a>4.9. Bloglines Synchronization</h3></div></div></div><p>Up to and including version 2.3, newsbeuter contained support for synchronization
with Bloglines. On October 1, 2010, Bloglines was discontinued, and newsbeuter’s
support for Bloglines was subsequently removed.</p></div><div class="section" title="4.10. Tiny Tiny RSS Synchronization"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_tiny_tiny_rss_synchronization"></a>4.10. Tiny Tiny RSS Synchronization</h3></div></div></div><p>Since version 2.5, newsbeuter can be used to synchronize with Tiny Tiny RSS
installations. Tiny Tiny RSS is a web-based and (optionally) multi-user feed
reader. By providing the ability to use Tiny Tiny RSS as its backend, it’s
possible for users to manage their subscriptions centrally within Tiny Tiny RSS
while reading them wherever they are using newsbeuter.</p><p>If you want to use Tiny Tiny RSS support, don’t forget to activate the external
API support in your preferences.</p><p>To use Tiny Tiny RSS support, you need to configure a few things. First of all,
newsbeuter needs to know that you want to use Tiny Tiny RSS and which
installation exactly:</p><pre class="literallayout">urls-source "ttrss"
ttrss-url "http://example.com/ttrss/"</pre><p>In addition, it requires username and password for authentication:</p><pre class="literallayout">ttrss-login "myusername"
ttrss-password "mypassword"</pre><p>Tiny Tiny RSS provides two modes of usage, single-user mode and multi-user
mode. newsbeuter needs to know about this, too: In single-user mode,
authentication is done via Basic HTTP authentication, while in multi-user mode,
authentication is done against Tiny Tiny RSS itself.</p><pre class="literallayout">ttrss-mode "single" # "multi" is default</pre><p>With these settings, newsbeuter should be able to connect to Tiny Tiny RSS and
download your subscribed feeds. Articles or even complete feeds that you marked
as read are synchronized directly to Tiny Tiny RSS.</p><p>Tiny Tiny RSS provides the ability to "star" and to "publish" articles. Starred
articles are basically bookmarks, while published articles can be retrieved via
a pubic RSS feed. Newsbeuter allows the use of these features by mapping its
flags to the "star" and "publish" operations.</p><p>In order to use this mapping, you need to configure the flags that shall be used:</p><pre class="literallayout">ttrss-flag-star "s"
ttrss-flag-publish "p"</pre><p>After that, use these flags when you edit flags for an article, and these articles
will be starred resp. published.</p></div><div class="section" title="4.11. OPML Online Subscription Mode"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_opml_online_subscription_mode"></a>4.11. OPML Online Subscription Mode</h3></div></div></div><p>The OPML online subscription mode works similar to the Google Reader
synchronization mode, except that no information about read articles is
synchronized back. When enabled, all feeds that are listed in the feed list
will be taken from one or more OPML files that are downloaded from a freely
configurable URL.</p><p>To enable this mode, the following configuration needs to be done:</p><pre class="literallayout">urls-source "opml"
opml-url "<opml url>" ["<opml url>" ...]</pre><p>"opml" must be specified as source for the feed URLs, and the URLs of the OPML
file needs to be specified, too. As with Google Reader synchronization mode, the offline
mode via "newsbeuter -o" also works with OPML online subscription mode.</p></div><div class="section" title="4.12. Flagging Articles"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_flagging_articles"></a>4.12. Flagging Articles</h3></div></div></div><p>To support custom categorization of articles by the user, it is possible to
flag an article. A valid flag is any character from <span class="emphasis"><em>A</em></span> to <span class="emphasis"><em>Z</em></span> and from <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span> to
<span class="emphasis"><em>z</em></span>. Every article can be flagged with up to 52 different flags, i.e. every
letter from the Roman alphabet in upper and lower case. Flagging is easy: just
select an article in the article list, or enter the article view, and press ^E.
This will start the flag editor. By pressing enter, the new flags are saved.
You can cancel by pressing the ESC key.</p><p>The flags of an article can be used in every filter expression. The flags of an
article are always ordered, and when new flags are added, ordering is
immediately restored. This behaviour can also be relied upon when querying
articles via the filter language.</p><p>If an article contains one or more flags, it is marked with an "!" in the
article list. In the article view, all flags (if available) are listed.</p></div><div class="section" title="4.13. Macro Support"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_macro_support"></a>4.13. Macro Support</h3></div></div></div><p>In newsbeuter, it’s possible to define macros to execute more than one command
at once. A macro is configured using the "macro" configuration command. The
first parameter to "macro" is the key, all parameters afterwards are operations
(as listed in the "Available Operations" table above), optionally with
parameters on their own, separated by the ";" character. Here’s a simple
example:</p><pre class="literallayout">macro k open ; reload ; quit
macro o open-in-browser ; toggle-article-read "read"</pre><p>When the user presses the macro prefix ("," by default) and then the "k" key,
the three operations "open", "reload" and "quit" will be executed subsequently.</p><p>It is also possible to modify configuration variables within macros, which can
e.g. be used to temporarily modify the browser configuration variable to do
something else, such as running an image viewer from the URLs view:</p><pre class="literallayout">macro i set browser "feh %u"; open ; set browser "elinks %u"</pre><p>You can even use this feature to enqueue any of the URLs from the URLs view to
podbeuter’s download queue:</p><pre class="literallayout">macro E set browser "echo %u >> ~/.newsbeuter/queue" ; open ; set browser "elinks %u"</pre></div><div class="section" title="4.14. Commandline Commands"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_commandline_commands"></a>4.14. Commandline Commands</h3></div></div></div><p>Newsbeuter comes with a -x option that indicates that commands added as arguments
to the command line shall be executed. Currently, the following commands are
available:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
reload: this option reloads all feeds, and quits newsbeuter without printing any output.
This is useful if a user wants to periodically reload all feeds without always having
a running newsbeuter instance, e.g. from cron.
</li><li class="listitem">
print-unread: this option prints the number of unread articles and quits newsbeuter.
This is useful for users who want to integrate this number into some kind of monitoring
system.
</li></ul></div></div><div class="section" title="4.15. Format Strings"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_format_strings"></a>4.15. Format Strings</h3></div></div></div><p>Newsbeuter contains a powerful format string system to make it possible for the
user to configure the format of various aspects of the application, such as
the format of entries in the feed list or in the article list.</p><p>Format strings are similar to those that are found in the "printf" function in
the C programming language. A format sequence begins with the <span class="emphasis"><em>%</em></span> character,
followed by optional alignment indication: positive numbers indicate that the
text that is inserted for the sequence shall be padded right to a total width
that is specified by the number, while negative number specify left padding.
Followed by the padding indication comes the actual sequence identifier, which
is usually a single letter.</p><p>In addition, newsbeuter provides other, more powerful sequences, such as
"%>[char]", which indicates that the text right to the sequence will be aligned
right on the screen, and characters between the text on the left and the text
on the right will be filled by "[char]". Another powerful format is the
conditional sequence, "%?[char]?[format 1]&[format 2]?": if the text of the
sequence identifier "[char]" is non-empty, then "[format 1]" will be evaluated
and inserted, otherwise "[format 2]" will be evaluated and inserted. The "&" and
"[format 2]" are optional, i.e. if the identifier’s text is empty, then an
empty string will be inserted.</p><p>The following tables show what sequence identifiers are available for which
format:</p><div class="table"><a id="id566644"></a><p class="title"><b>Table 6.

Highlighting Text"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_highlighting_text"></a>4.16. Highlighting Text</h3></div></div></div><p>Since version 1.0, newsbeuter supports the highlighting of text in the feed
list, the article list and the article view, using regular expressions to
describe patterns to be highlighted. The command syntax goes like this:</p><pre class="literallayout">highlight <target> <regex> <fgcolor> [<bgcolor> [<attribute> ...]]</pre><p>Valid values for <target> are "feedlist", "articlelist", "article" and "all".
When specifying "all", the matching will be done in all three views. The
<regex> must be regular expression, which will be matched case-insensitive
against the text. <fgcolor> and <bgcolor> specify the foreground color resp.
the background color of the matches. You can also specify 0 or more attributes.
You can find a list of valid colors and attributes in the "Configuring Colors"
section.</p><p>Examples for possible highlighting configurations are:</p><pre class="literallayout">highlight all "newsbeuter" red
highlight article "^(Feed|Title|Author|Link|Date):" default default underline
highlight feedlist "https?://[^ ]+" yellow red bold</pre><div class="section" title="Highlighting Articles in the Article List"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="_highlighting_articles_in_the_article_list"></a>Highlighting Articles in the Article List</h4></div></div></div><p>In addition to generally highlighting text, there is also a specific way to
highlight articles in the article list based on whether they match a certain
filter expression. This means that you can highlight items in the article list
based on their content. This is done using the "highlight-article" configuration
command.</p><p>The syntax is similar to the "highlight" configuration command, with the difference
that there’s no need to specify a target (since it only applies in the article list),
and instead of a regular expression, a filter expression is used. After the filter
expression, the colors and attributes are specified in the same way.</p><p>Example:</p><pre class="literallayout">highlight-article "author =~ \"Andreas Krennmair\"" white red bold</pre></div></div><div class="section" title="4.17. Advanced Dialog Management"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_advanced_dialog_management"></a>4.17. Advanced Dialog Management</h3></div></div></div><p>Since version 2.0, newsbeuter supports an advanced concept of dialogs.
Previously, all dialogs (feed list, article list, article view) were internally
laid out as a pure stack. In 2.0, this changed: all dialogs are managed in a
list, and the user can jump to another, previously opened dialog from
everywhere. This allows a user to open more than one article list, more than one
article view, etc., and switch between them without closing them.</p><p>The main dialog for this feature can be reached by pressing the "v" key. This
opens the list of open dialogs. From there, the user can switch to another
dialog by selecting the appropriate entry and pressing "ENTER", or can close
open dialogs by selecting them and pressing Ctrl-X.</p></div><div class="section" title="4.18.

~/.config/newsbeuter/</pre><p>If these directories exist or the environment variables $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and
$XDG_DATA_HOME are set, newsbeuter will use these directories, otherwise it
will default to ~/.newsbeuter as its configuration directory.</p></div><div class="section" title="4.19. Podcast Support"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_podcast_support"></a>4.19. Podcast Support</h3></div></div></div><p>A podcast is a media file distributed over the internet using syndication feeds
such as RSS, for later playback on portable players or computers. Newsbeuter
contains support for downloading and saving podcasts. This support differs a bit
from other podcast aggregators or "podcatchers" in how it is done.</p><p>Podcast content is transported in RSS feeds via special tags called
"enclosures". Newsbeuter recognizes these enclosures and stores the relevant
information for every podcast item it finds in an RSS feed. Since version 2.0,
it also recognizes and handles the Yahoo Media RSS extensions. What the user
then can do is to add the podcast download URL to a download queue.
Alternatively, newsbeuter can be configured to automatically do that. This
queue is stored in the file $HOME/.newsbeuter/queue.</p><p>The user can then use the download manager "podbeuter" to download these files
to a directory on the local filesystem. Podbeuter comes with the newsbeuter
package, and features a look and feel very close to the one of newsbeuter. It
also shares the same configuration file.</p><p>Podcasts that have been downloaded but haven’t been played yet remain in the
queue but are marked as downloaded. You can remove them by purging them from
the queue with the <span class="emphasis"><em>P</em></span> key. After you’ve played a file and close podbeuter, it
will be removed from the queue. The downloaded file remains on the
filesystem.</p><div class="table"><a id="id567767"></a><p class="title"><b>Table 15.

found podcast download URLs. Then, the user reloads the podcast RSS feeds in
newsbeuter, and after that, he/she uses podbeuter to view the current queue, and
either selectively download certain files or automatically download them all
together by pressing "a" within podbeuter.</p></div><div class="section" title="4.20. Using SQLite Triggers with newsbeuter"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="_using_sqlite_triggers_with_newsbeuter"></a>4.20. Using SQLite Triggers with newsbeuter</h3></div></div></div><p>This section was kindly provided by <a class="ulink" href="mailto:elrond+newsbeuter(at)samba-tng.org" target="_top">Elrond</a>.</p><p>SQLite, the db used by newsbeuter, supports triggers. These are small
snippets of SQL that get executed inside the database by the database
engine. They’re stored inside the db and the normal user (including
newsbeuter itself) doesn’t see them. Just the db seems to do some magic:
Like changing some values when you change another value.</p><p>So what is this good for when looking at newsbeuter? Well first of it’s a
hack. The real answer should be to use application logic (do it inside
newsbeuter, not in the db). So: Don’t use this, unless you know, what you’re
doing, and unless you have some sort of backup.</p><div class="section" title="Example"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="_example"></a>Example</h4></div></div></div><p>So after the "don’t use it" you still want to know, what one can do? So here’s an example.</p><p>Suppose you have a strange feed where the articles become "new" by just
changing their subject, and nothing else changes. The body is just empty, and
the URL keeps the same. This feed really exists. It’s the "updated software rss
feed" of some major company and the title just contains the name of the driver
and version number. And the URL points to the download page. newsbeuter
considers articles only as new, when they have a new UniqueID (this is good).
So those articles are never marked as new (unread) ever again.</p><p>So what can we do? We do some magic: We let the db test if newsbeuter
changes the subject and then let itself mark the article again as unread.</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem">
You need the sqlite3 command line tool (available via apt-get install sqlite3 on Debian) or some other tool to do direct sql on the sqlite database.
</li><li class="listitem"><p class="simpara">
Start sqlite3 with the newsbeuter db:
</p><pre class="literallayout">Rivendell:~/.newsbeuter% sqlite3 cache.db
SQLite version 3.4.2
Enter ".help" for instructions
sqlite></pre></li><li class="listitem"><p class="simpara">
Create the trigger:
</p><pre class="literallayout">sqlite> create trigger update_item_title update of title on rss_item
> for each row when old.title != new.title
> begin
> update rss_item set unread = 1 where rowid == new.rowid;
> end;</pre></li><li class="listitem">
Leave sqlite3 with <Ctrl-D> or .quit.
</li></ol></div><p>That’s it. newsbeuter (well, its db) now marks articles as unread when their
title changes. And nicely enough this works all inside newsbeuter, no need to
restart it so that it rereads the cache, that magically modifies itself. It
just works.</p></div></div></div><div class="section" title="5. Feedback"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_feedback"></a>5. Feedback</h2></div></div></div><p>If you want to tell us something related to newsbeuter, don’t hesitate to send
