Slashdot is a popular news site, with
lively discussion following the news articles. nnslashdot
will
let you read this forum in a convenient manner.
The easiest way to read this source is to put something like the following in your `~/.gnus.el' file:
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnslashdot ""))) |
This will make Gnus query the nnslashdot
back end for new comments
and groups. The F command will subscribe each new news article as
a new Gnus group, and you can read the comments by entering these
groups. (Note that the default subscription method is to subscribe new
groups as zombies. Other methods are available (see section 1.6.2 Subscription Methods).
If you want to remove an old nnslashdot
group, the G DEL
command is the most handy tool (see section 2.9 Foreign Groups).
When following up to nnslashdot
comments (or posting new
comments), some light HTMLizations will be performed. In
particular, text quoted with `> ' will be quoted with
blockquote
instead, and signatures will have br
added to
the end of each line. Other than that, you can just write HTML
directly into the message buffer. Note that Slashdot filters out some
HTML forms.
The following variables can be altered to change its behavior:
nnslashdot-threaded
nnslashdot
should display threaded groups or not. The
default is t
. To be able to display threads, nnslashdot
has to retrieve absolutely all comments in a group upon entry. If a
threaded display is not required, nnslashdot
will only retrieve
the comments that are actually wanted by the user. Threading is nicer,
but much, much slower than unthreaded.
nnslashdot-login-name
nnslashdot-password
nnslashdot-directory
nnslashdot
will store its files. The default is
`~/News/slashdot/'.
