 +==== Bookmarks ====
 +
 +In [[Firefox]] at least, bookmarks are exported and imported via [[HTML]] files with a ''NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1'' doctype. They still look like they're from the [[Netscape]] era, capitalised elements and all, and they're based around definition lists. This used to also be the way bookmarks were stored by the browser, but they now live in a database.
 +
 +Examples: [[https://gist.github.com/devster31/4e8c6548fd16ffb75c02e6f24e27f9b9|Firefox?]] [[https://gist.github.com/jgarber623/cdc8e2fa1cbcb6889872|Delicious]]
 +
 +If you just want to import a basic list of links you can use a simplified version like:
 +
 +<code html>
 +<!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>
 +<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
 +<dl>
 + <dt><a href="[URL1]"></a></dt>
 + <dt><a href="[URL2]"></a></dt>
 +</dl>
 +</code>
 +
 +On import these will be plopped into the top level of the 'Bookmarks Menu'. If you want to organise them a bit with folders you add a ''<dt>'' with an ''<h3>'' inside, and a sub ''<dl>''.
 +
 +<code html>
 +<!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>
 +<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
 +<dl>
 + <dt><h3>[folder]</h3></dt>
 + <dl>
 + <dt><a href="[URL]"></a></dt>
 + </dl>
 +</dl>
 +</code>
 +
 +You can give your links titles, add tags (''href'' attribute ''tags="[tag1], [tag2]"'' and other stuff if you want to get fancy.

 +===== Music =====
 +
 +I've written a bit about messing with .M3U files on the [[plaintext]] page.
 +
 +===== Music Making =====
 +
 +[[Reaper]] uses standard .TXT files for saving and loading note names: 'MIDI note/CC name map'. Eg this one I made for the [[Korg ER-1]]:
 +
 +<code>
 +# MIDI note/CC name map
 +49 Crash
 +46 Hi-Hat Open
 +45 Audio In 2
 +43 Audio In 1
 +42 Hi-Hat Close
 +41 Percussion Synth 4
 +40 Percussion Synth 3
 +39 H.Clap
 +38 Percussion Synth 2
 +36 Percussion Synth 1
 +</code>
 +
 +It can load 'Instrument bank/program definition' files in the formats .REABANK and .INS, both are plaintext.
 +
 +.INS is used in other DAWs too, and looks like an .INI file.
 +
 +.REABANK is… very plain, syntax wise.
