XBEL2HTML

A small XSLT stylesheet I hacked together to transform bookmark files in XBEL format into HTML.

Many browsers, such as Galeon or Konqueror, store their bookmarks in XBEL format (an XML DTD). I wrote a small stylesheet to transform them into HTML. All folders called "Toolbar" or "Bookmarklets" are automatically removed.

I put an entry like this into my crontab:

0       *       *       *       *       /usr/bin/xsltproc -o \
      $HOME/bookmarks.html $HOME/xbel2html.xsl \
$HOME/.galeon/bookmarks.xbel \
&& scp -q $HOME/bookmarks.html some.server:/some/path

This way, my bookmarks are always available on the internet and up to date.
