Personal bookmarks

The following script will generate a bookmarklet that opens a popup window that will let you save the viewed page in your tx0 personal page. The bookmarklet is made by means of a script because the action field needs an address like: https://wm.sdf.org/tx0/$USER/?. Here's an example of the generated bookmarklet (which doesn't work as there's no $USER).

Notes:

• Date-tag is used to generate a default tag in your bookmark with a hint of the date when it was saved. i.e., if year+month+week are chosen, a tag like 201201a is added to the tags field and means that the link was saved sometime on the first two weeks of January 2012. (week is a variable that can be a or b if day of the month <16 or >=16, respectively.)
• Summary is used to pre-fill the SUM field. If description is chosen, the summary will be the
description meta tag and if it's not available it will be the title tag. If title is chosen, only the latter will be tried.
