All Newsticker options are customizable, i.e., they can be changed with
Emacs customization methods. Call the command ‘customize-group’ and
enter ‘newsticker’ for the customization group.
The following list shows the available groups of Newsticker options and
some of the most important options.
• ‘newsticker-retrieval’ contains options that define which news
feeds are retrieved and how this is done.
• ‘newsticker-url-list’ defines the list of headlines that are
retrieved.
• ‘newsticker-retrieval-method’ defines how headlines are
retrieved. This is either done using Emacs’s built-in
download capabilities or using an external tool.
• ‘newsticker-retrieval-interval’ defines how often headlines
are retrieved.
• ‘newsticker-headline-processing’ contains options that define how
the retrieved headlines are processed.

reader.
