 ;;; Commentary:
 ;;
-;; The entry point is `webfeeder-build': run it over a set of HTML files to
-;; produce the corresponding webfeed.
+;; Webfeeder is an Emacs library to generate RSS
+;; (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS) and Atom
+;; (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_(Web_standard)) feeds from HTML files.
 ;;
-;; See https://validator.w3.org/feed/ for an online validation service.
+;; Other webfeed generators have been written for Emacs, but either they are
+;; tied to other projects like blog generators, or they only work on Org files
+;; like `ox-rss'.  Since Webfeeder generates webfeeds from HTML files, it is
+;; more general.
+;;
+;; The various elements of the HTML input are parsed with customizable
+;; functions.  For instance, Webfeeder offers two functions to parse the title:
+;; `webfeeder-title-libxml' (using libxml if your Emacs is linked against it)
+;; and the less reliable `webfeeder-title-default'.  Feel free to write you own
+;; function and bind `webfeeder-title-function' before generating the feeds.
+;;
+;; The generated feeds should be valid on https://validator.w3.org/feed/.  If 
not,
+;; it's a bug, please report.
+;;
+;; The full list of customizable functions is documented in
+;; `feed-builder-html-files-to-items'.
+;;
+;; The entry point is `webfeeder-build': consult its documentation for more
+;; information.
+;;
+;; Example:
+;;
+;; (feed-builder-build
+;;   "atom.xml"
+;;   "./public"
+;;   "https://example.org/";
+;;   '("post1.html" "post2.html" "post3.html")
+;;   :title "My homepage"
+;;   :description "A collection of articles in Atom")
