[Dillo-dev] Firefox bookmarks.html convertor for Dillo

[Nick Warne]

Hi all,

Attached is a short perl script that converts FF bookmarks.html (which
can be exported within FF itself) to Dillo format bm.txt.

Simple to use, and the code has brief instructions.

The only thing I am not sure about is if different versions of FF use
the same bookmarks.html format.

A slightly improved version that doesn't strip all white space in the
URL 'name', and also ignores rss feeds.

I also forgot to mention that any bookmarks in the root (i.e. no
section) get stuffed into the last section parsed - these can easily be
handled in Dillos' bookmark menu 'modify'.
