Generate HTML documentation using MkDocs (WIP)
MkDocs is a static site generator geared towards building project documentation. Documentation source files are written in Markdown, and configured with a single YAML file. * http://www.mkdocs.org/ * http://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/configuration/ Ref. #312 * remove pandoc-generated HTML documentation * move markdown doc to doc/md/, * mkdocs.yml: * generate HTML doc in doc/html * add pages TOC/ordering * use index.md as index page * Makefile: remove execute permissions from generated files * Makefile: rewrite htmlpages GFM to markdown conversion using sed: awk expression aslo matched '][' which causes invalid output on complex links with images or code blocks * Add mkdocs.yml to .gitattributes, exclude this file from release archives * Makefile: rename: htmldoc -> doc_html target * run make doc: pull latest markdown documentation from wiki * run make htmlpages: update html documentation

10## Backup and restore the datastore file
11
12Backup the file `data/datastore.php` (by FTP or SSH). Restore by putting the file back in place.
13
14Example command:
15```bash
16rsync -avzP my.server.com:/var/www/shaarli/data/datastore.php datastore-$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H%M).php
17```
18
19## Export links as...
20
21To export links as an HTML file, under _Tools > Export_, choose:
22- _Export all_ to export both public and private links
23- _Export public_ to export public links only
24- _Export private_ to export private links only
25
26Restore by using the `Import` feature.
27* This can be done using the [shaarchiver](https://github.com/nodiscc/shaarchiver) tool.[](.html)
28
29Example command:
30```bash
31./export-bookmarks.py --url=https://my.server.com/shaarli --username=myusername --password=mysupersecretpassword --download-dir=./ --type=all
32```
33
34## Import links from...
35
36
37### Diigo
38
39If you export your bookmark from Diigo, make sure you use the Delicious export, not the Netscape export. (Their Netscape export is broken, and they don't seem to be interested in fixing it.)

44See [this issue](https://github.com/sebsauvage/Shaarli/issues/146) for import tweaks.[](.html)
45
46### SemanticScuttle
47
48To correctly import the tags from a [SemanticScuttle](http://semanticscuttle.sourceforge.net/) HTML export, edit the HTML file before importing and replace all occurences of `tags=` (lowercase) to `TAGS=` (uppercase).[](.html)
49
50### Scuttle
51
52Shaarli cannot import data directly from [Scuttle](https://github.com/scronide/scuttle). However, you can use this third party tool: https://github.com/q2apro/scuttle-to-shaarli to export the Scuttle database to the Netscape HTML format compatible with the Shaarli importer.[](.html)
53
54## Import Shaarli links to Firefox
55
56 * Export your Shaarli links as described above.
57 * For compatibility reasons, check `Prepend note permalinks with this Shaarli instance's URL (useful to import bookmarks in a web browser)`
58 * In Firefox, open the bookmark manager (not the sidebar! `Bookmarks menu > Show all bookmarks` or `Ctrl+Shift+B`)
59 * Select `Import and Backup > Import bookmarks in HTML format`
60
61Your bookmarks will be imported in Firefox, ready to use, with tags and descriptions retained. "Self" (notes) shaares will still point to the Shaarli instance you exported them from, but the note text can be viewed directly in the bookmark properties inside your browser. Depending on the number of bookmarks, the import can take some time.

66 * [TagSieve](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tagsieve/) - browse your bookmarks by their tags[](.html)
