        is displayed

      * character display delay: 0.015
        a bit faster than traditional speeds, because users are not
        interested in the char print animation as much.

You just need to provide the URL of the RSS feed from where %(app_title)s will
read and display on screen.

If you do not have any idea which RSS to use, check out some examples here:

    CNN
        Top Stories - http://rss.cnn.com/rss/edition.rss
        World       - http://rss.cnn.com/rss/edition_world.rss
        Technology  - http://rss.cnn.com/rss/edition_technology.rss

        See CNN's complete list of RSS syndication here:
            http://edition.cnn.com/services/rss/

    Lifehacker - http://www.lifehacker.com/index.xml
    Note: Lifehacker uses HTML to deliver "description" contents in the RSS,
          so you might need to change the format to something like:
               --format "%%(title)s (%%(pubDate)s)\\n"
""") % {
       'app_title': constants.App.TITLE,
