How to create a feed list in elfeed?
Another option for providing a feed list is with an OPML file. Running M-x elfeed-load-opml will fill elfeed-feeds with feeds listed in an OPML file. When elfeed-load-opml is called interactively, it will automatically save the feedlist to your customization file, so you will only need to do this once.
To make tags useful, the Elfeed entry listing buffer can be filtered by tags. Use elfeed-search-set-filter (or s) to update the filter. Use elfeed-search-clear-filter to restore the default. Any component of the search string beginning with a + or a – is treated like a tag. + means the tag is required, – means the tag must not be present.
