There are 4 basic ways to export bookmarks. Three are found in the File menu under the “Export to” submenu. They let you export to HTML, XML, and a tab-separated value file. The 4th way is by dragging bookmarks out of the main bookmark table and dropping it somewhere in the Finder.
Exporting to HTML - HTML export creates a folder titled “SiteTagger” on your Desktop with several HTML files in them. These files are represent bookmarks grouped by their tags. The template file for the HTML export is found in SiteTagger’s package contents. You can edit this file by control-clicking on SiteTagger, choosing “Show Package Contents” from the contextual menu, and navigating through the folders to the “Contents” folder. The file “template.html” should be in that folder.
Exporting to XML - SiteTagger can also export to a simple XML file. The XML file will contain title and url information and, if available, favicon data in base64 format. Here is an example of an XML-exported bookmark:
<bookmark>
<title>From Concentrate Software</title>
<url>http://www.fromconcentratesoftware.com/</url>
<tags>programs SiteTagger software</tags>
<faviconData>...</faviconData>
</bookmark>
Exporting to XBEL - XBEL is an XML format for storing bookmarks that is becoming a standard. SiteTagger exports bookmarks in XBEL format and also exports collection information as a series of bookmark aliases. SiteTagger currently only exports the title, URL, and notes of a bookmark.
Exporting to OPML - OPML is a popular XML format known for its simplicity as well as its ubiquitousness. SiteTagger will export each bookmark’s URL and the folder structure. All other information is lost.
Exporting to Netscape bookmark file - The Netscape bookmark file is a legacy format that is widely supported by most browsers despite it’s brokenness. This is a format that Safari can import. SiteTagger exports basic bookmark information (title and URL) as well as collections.
Tab-separated file - This format will only export the title and the url of each bookmark. Each line represents a new bookmark where the title comes first and then the url. The title and url are separated by a tab.
Drag and drop - This method is for exporting single bookmarks. Simply click and drag a bookmark and drag it to a window in the Finder or to the Desktop. SiteTagger will create a new “.url” file.
RTF - When exporting to RTF, SiteTagger will assemble all of your bookmarks as active links in an RTF file. Each bookmark is placed on a new line.
Note: del.icio.us and Furl exporting has been moved to a synchronization feature found under the File menu.
