The Report/Export feature lets you create reports in your own text, html or xml format. To export bookmarks to a user defined format, you have to work with templates. A report template is a HTML file (for HTML reports) or a text file (for text exports) which contains several predefined datafields. These datafields will be replaced with real values when the report is created.

Reports are always written in the UTF-8 character set!

What to do in WebSite-Watcher?

Select a report template
Select the output file into which the report should be created
Select the "Bookmarks" tab where you can choose the bookmarks you want to add to the report
