| About |
|
|
| What is it ? |
|
| PBM is a Perl script (released under the GPL) that is going to help you make your bookmarks available for public distribution by using the description field of your Netscape bookmarks ... |
| Another script, Dead Link Check may help you verifying the network existence of your bookmark links (or links in general). |
| Here is an example of what can be generated using the script. More examples are available on the know user lists page. |
|
| How it works ? |
|
| Just fill the description field of some of your Netscape links or folders (can be useful to cut a branch [if your folder are tree ordered at least ]) with tags that you will then use using the script keyword option. |
| When running the script the help option gives a small description of the script options and default values. |
|
| Requirements |
|
| PBM uses Perl 5 and no special library. |
|
| Future evolutions ? |
|
| Adding other useful options like "split", "minitoc" ... |
| Creating a Perl/Tk bookmark editor |
| Make PBM work with Netscape's Bookmark aliasing |
| Add "frames" as an option of PBM (may rejoin the "split" idea) |
|
| New releases ? |
|
| New releases of PBM are announced on Freshmeat |
| To be the first to know about new releases, you may want to join the announce mailing list. |
