rendering an rss feed as html

rendering an rss feed as html

[Richard G Riley]

Can I set a group to treat all articles as html?

e.g I have subscribed to an RSS feed in Gnus and all the feed posts are html
content. Gnus doesn't recognise them as html since they not properly
marked as html. Can I do aynthing to set this group to automatically
treat all articles in this RSS feed as html and son render with w3m?

Does the following part of the Gnus Info manual help?

(info "(gnus)RSS") <- Type `C-x C-e' here.

|          'gnus-newsgroup-variables
|          '(mm-discouraged-alternatives
|            . '("text/html" "image/.*"))))
| 
|      ;; Display `text/html' parts in `nnrss' groups.
|      (add-to-list
|       'gnus-parameters
|       '("\\`nnrss:" (mm-discouraged-alternatives nil)))

It does indeed. I should have spotted that (although it is a bit tricky
to follow). Thanks.

Actually, in retrospect, its not really doing what I want (although a
good part of the way) . I want the email itself in a w3m display so the
usual w3m keys are available. As it is I just see "link" for hot links
and am unable to use "M" to open in external browser.

You can add this form to the ~/.emacs-w3m.el file at your own risk.

(define-key w3m-minor-mode-map "M" 'w3m-view-url-with-external-browser)

For what `risk' means, please see:

(info "(emacs-w3m)Gnus") <- `C-x C-e' here.

I'm not sure I understand. How will this help? The article is not in w3m
minor mode. It is a gnus article buffer. C-h m shows the following
modes:

,----
| Enabled minor modes: Auto-Compression Blink-Cursor Column-Number
| Delete-Selection Display-Time File-Name-Shadow Font-Lock
| Global-Font-Lock Indent-Region Iswitchb Line-Number Menu-Bar
| Mouse-Wheel Mumamo-Global Nxhtml-Global Shell-Dirtrack Tooltip
| Transient-Mark Unify-8859-On-Encoding Utf-Translate-Cjk
| 
| (Information about these minor modes follows the major mode info.)
| 
| Article mode:
| Major mode for displaying an article.

That is not *so-called* minor-mode as an Emacs term.
The `w3m-minor-mode-map' overrides the other keymaps, using
the `keymap' text property, over only the area that emacs-w3m
rendered in the article buffer.
