<title>Introduction</title>
<sect1 id="what-is-akregator">
<title>What is &akregator;?</title>
<para>&akregator; is a &kde; application for reading online news feeds. It has a
powerful, user-friendly interface for reading feeds and the management of
them.</para>
<para>&akregator; is a lightweight and fast program for displaying news items
provided by feeds, supporting all commonly-used versions of
<acronym>RSS</acronym> and Atom feeds. Its interface is similar to those of
e-mail programs, thus hopefully being very familiar to the user. Useful features include searching within article titles, management of feeds in folders and setting archiving
preferences. Feeds can be displayed in a similar manner to e-mails. Websites related to a feed can be shown in &akregator;'s embedded browser or, at the users' choice, opened in an external browser.</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="rss-and-atom-feeds">
<title><acronym>RSS</acronym> and Atom feeds</title>
<para><acronym>RSS</acronym> (Really Simple Syndication) is an &XML;-based format used for publishing news or articles in a machine-readable form. An <acronym>RSS</acronym>
or Atom file is also called a feed. A program that can be used to read such feeds is
called a feed reader or aggregator, hence the title of the application, &akregator;.</para>
<para>&akregator; automatically extracts new items from the feed and displays them in a human-friendly form to the user. The user can therefore save time with regularly-visited websites, as they need no longer manually check whether there are new pieces of information available.</para>
<para><acronym>RSS</acronym> is available in different versions which
are not compatible with each other (this situation caused by competing companies):
<acronym>RSS</acronym> 0.9, <acronym>RSS</acronym> 1.0 and
<acronym>RSS</acronym> 2.0. Atom is also an &XML;-based feed language which has
been redesigned to fit the needs of webloggers and news sites. Atom attempts to
replace <acronym>RSS</acronym> feeds and remove the uncertainty with
incompatiblities in the different <acronym>RSS</acronym> versions.</para>

<chapter id="quick-start">
<title>Quick Start to &akregator;</title>
<para>
This section describes how to start using &akregator;. It explains the user
interface and shows you how to add your own feed to the list. This section is
particularily interesting if you are not yet familiar with the
general <acronym>RSS</acronym>/Atom and feed aggregator concept.
</para>
<sect1 id="main-window">
<title>The Main Window</title>
<!--part of kontact
say how to start it -->
<para>When you first start &akregator;, you see its main window:
<screenshot>
<screeninfo>&akregator; main window</screeninfo>

<textobject><phrase>&akregator; main window</phrase></textobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot>
</para>
<para>
The main window consists of the feed list, the article list and the article
viewer.
</para>
<para>
The feed list is on the left. In the tree, you have news feeds you can
select. A news feed is a collection of articles: for example, the recent news of
a news site or the new entries of a blog. The default list contains feeds related to
the &kde; project, but of course you can add your own feeds and remove the ones
you are not interested in.

<screeninfo>All articles are fetched</screeninfo>

<textobject><phrase>All articles are fetched</phrase></textobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot>
</para>
<para>
In the upper right is the article list. It contains all the articles of the
feed selected in the feed list (if it is empty, you must first fetch the feed). The list shows the headlines of the articles and the date when
they were published. By default, the newest articles are at the top.

</mediaobject>

</para>
<para>
If you select an article, it will be displayed in the article viewer in the
lower right of the window. Depending on the feed, it contains either only a headline, a short
summary, or the complete article content.

There are multiple other ways to find and add interesting feeds. Within KDE,
websites browsed with &konqueror; will display the recognizable "RSS

<title>Browsing inside of &akregator;</title>
<para>When reading feed articles, often you may want to read the web page that
belongs to the article: some articles only contain the headline, and not the actual
content. In this case, you need to visit the web page to read the complete article. Or perhaps
an article links to some website, or you are reading a blog and want to comment
on an entry. For these situations, &akregator; contains a simple web browser.
Whenever you follow a link in the article viewer, &akregator; opens the link in
new tab:</para>
<note><para>Note that the browser in &akregator; is not intended to replace your
favorite Web Browser. It is meant for reading articles, commenting on them, or
following up a link quickly. It is not meant for browsing the web in general. It
lacks many features fully-fledged web browsers offer.</para></note>
