-Rss2Html is a simple converter to see Rss/Rdf/Xml news databases into
-html on console mode, or embedded on a web page.
+rss2html is a simple converter from RSS/RDF/XML feeds (used for podcast,
+blogs, news pages, etc) into HTML or other formats useful to read news
+from commandline or automatized in cron.
-i.e: $ rss2html http://slashdot.org/index.rss | lynx -stdin
+The HTML generation can be done by using user defined templates.
+
+You can also create planets joining some RSS and ordering them by date
+(automatically done with '-P' flag).
+
+Some examples:
+ $ rss2html -d http://someones.blog.org/feed.rss | lynx -stdin
+ $ rss2html http://podcasting/feed.xml | wget -c -F -i -
+ $ rss2html -P myplanet@http://my.url/ -r 150 -d -n 2 \
+ foo@http://foo/feed.xml bar@http://bar/feed.xml > planet.html
