1. Yes, the Gnus manual is large. An approach that you can
take for this and future problems is to skim through the
table of contents and work your way down through the manual
to chapters and chapter sections that might be relevant to
your problem. For the problem you had here, starting with
the top level of the Gnus manual, there is the following:
* Select Methods:: Gnus reads all messages from various select
methods.
You then open this chapter to see whether it has relevant
information. The chapter starts with the paragraph:
"A “foreign group” is a group not read by the usual (or default) means.
It could be, for instance, a group from a different NNTP server, it
could be a virtual group, or it could be your own personal mail group."
Skimming the chapter’s contents, you see the section:
* Browsing the Web:: Getting messages from a plethora of Web
sources.
Opening this section, you see:
* Web Searches:: Creating groups from articles that match a
string.
* RSS:: Reading RDF site summary.
* Atom:: Reading Atom Syndication Format feeds.
Then, when Emacs responds to your attempt to add an RSS feed
with:
No feeds found for https://planet.guix.gnu.org/atom.xml
you might guess to try adding an Atom feed.
2. Skimming the descriptions of chapters and chapter
sections might not work, so you should learn to make use of
Info’s features. Like Emacs, Info has both a tutorial and a
manual. To run the tutorial, first open the Info reader by
typing C-h i, and then type ‘h’ (for Info-help) and begin
reading.
When reading the Gnus manual, try using ‘g’ (Info-goto-node)
and typing a guess, such as rss or atom, at its prompt. Or
try using ‘i’ (Info-index) to look up a guess in the Gnu
manual’s index.
