I created an account on del.icio.us and used an import script to copy all of my
Opera bookmarks into
del.icio.us "post"s. But instead of creating an XML representation in nested
folders, it linearized
all my folders into a string attribute called "tag".
I.e. the source structure:
reference
css
javascript
recipe
tea
isbn-books
health
fanatics
colors
became:
.imported
.imported reference css
.imported reference javascript
.imported reference recipe tea
.imported reference isbn-books health fanatics
.imported reference colors
(in various random orders w/ multiple entries for each bookmark).
I already have a script that transforms Opera bookmarks into an HTML page
(which is also my homepage),
but now I wanted a similar one for del.icio.us bookmarks.
But the Muenchian grouping algorithm only seems to work w/1 key and 1 level. I
could create 5 keys
anticipating a max of 5 levels, but that would require a bunch of if's and
hack-ish XSLT programming.
I tried for a while with various bits of success, until I decided to use what I
knew about the input
set. Which is all @tag(s) had the folder names in the same order and that a
space seperated all
folder names. The above statement is only true b/c I use the same import
script each time I sync my
bookmarks or if I manually create a post I use care to make the above statement
true. I.e. add a post
w/ tag name ".imported reference css" and not simply "css".
Sample output :
http://man-page.homelinux.org/~rodney/del.icio.us/bookmarks.html
Sample input :
http://man-page.homelinux.org/~rodney/del.icio.us/iWantToKeepAnon.xml
XSLT script :
http://man-page.homelinux.org/~rodney/del.icio.us/xml2html-key.xsl
actual del.icio.us bookmarks : http://del.icio.us/iWantToKeepAnon/
import script : http://www.hybernaut.com/bdv/delicious-import.html
(mine is modified for Opera and skips "private" folders/URLs)
I think this solution is pretty good and I'd like some constructive criticism
on how it could be
better. Also, I've seen some questions recently about grouping and I'm hoping
that somebody else will
find this useful to their programming. Let me know, how'd I do? How could
this be better?
BTW, I am using Gnome's LibXSLT and LibXML from http://xmlsoft.org/
