Like with filters, templates may be written in a variety of languages and are based on the standard Unix pipe convention of producing stdout from stdin, but in practice two languages are used more than others: htmltmpl Many find htmltmpl easier to get started with as you can take a simple example of your output file, sprinkle in a few <TMPL_VAR>s and <TMPL_LOOP>s and you are done.

You are welcome to place your entire configuration into one file.
Alternately, you may factor out the templating into a "theme", and the list of subscriptions into one or more "reading lists". [planet] This is the only required section, which is a bit odd as none of the parameters listed below are required. Below is a complete list of predefined planet configuration parameters, including ones not (yet) implemented by Venus and ones that are either new or implemented differently by Venus. Venus. Venus Filters. Planet Venus is an awesome ‘river of news’ feed reader.

Download · Documentation · Unit tests · Mailing list Filters and plugins are simple Unix pipes. Input comes in stdin, parameters come from the config file, and output goes to stdout. Anything written to stderr is logged as an ERROR message. There are two types of filters supported by Venus, input and template. Input to an input filter is a aggressively normalized entry. Input to a template filter will be the output produced by the template. You will find a small set of example filters in the filters directory. The excerpt filter adds metadata (in the form of a planet:excerpt element) to the feed itself. The xpath sifter is a variation of the above, including or excluding feeds based on the presence (or absence) of data specified by xpath expressions.
