XBEL Format
LinkaGoGo uses the XBEL (XML Bookmark Exchange Language) standard with extensions for LinkaGoGo-specific features. The format is fully compatible with other XBEL readers — custom attributes are safely ignored by tools that don't support them.
The DTD is available at /xbel-linkagogo.dtd.
