+<title
+>Using Bookmarks</title>
+
+<para
+>Although you can use &konqueror;'s bookmarks to record the locations of your own files and folders, they are most useful when you are surfing the Web, letting you build up a list of useful sites.</para>
+
+<para
+>To open the <guimenu
+>Bookmarks</guimenu
+> menu you may either <mousebutton
+>left</mousebutton
+> click on the <guimenu
+>Bookmarks</guimenu
+> menu or use the <keycombo action="simul"
+>&Alt;<keycap
+>B</keycap
+></keycombo
+> shortcut. Once the list is visible, you can navigate through it with the arrow keys or with your mouse, then press &Enter; or <mousebutton
+>left</mousebutton
+> click to visit the selected location.</para>
+
+<para
+>To add a new item to the list use <menuchoice
+><guimenu
+>Bookmarks </guimenu
+><guimenuitem
+>Add Bookmark</guimenuitem
+></menuchoice
+> or <keycombo action="simul"
+>&Ctrl;<keycap
+>B</keycap
+></keycombo
+> or <mousebutton
+>right</mousebutton
+> click on a clear space in the web page or folder view and select <guimenuitem
+>Bookmark this Location</guimenuitem
+> from the pop up menu.</para>
+
+<para
+>The <guimenu
+>Bookmarks</guimenu
+> list can contain subfolders containing other bookmarks, you can create these with <menuchoice
+><guimenu
+>Bookmarks </guimenu
+><guimenuitem
+>New Bookmark Folder...</guimenuitem
+></menuchoice
+> . To add a bookmark into a subfolder rather than into the main Bookmark list, select the folder from within the <guimenu
+>Bookmarks</guimenu
+> list and use the <guimenuitem
+>Add Bookmark</guimenuitem
+> item in that folder.</para>
+
+<para
+>You can also access your bookmarks from the <link linkend="sidebar"
+> <guilabel
+>Navigation Panel</guilabel
+></link
+>.</para>

+<title
+>The Bookmark Editor</title>
+
+<para
+>The <menuchoice
+><guimenu
+>Bookmarks</guimenu
+><guimenuitem
+>Edit Bookmarks</guimenuitem
+> </menuchoice
+> option opens the <guilabel
+>Bookmark Editor</guilabel
+>.</para>
+<para
+>This shows a tree view of your bookmarks and bookmark subfolders. As is usual for tree views in &kde;, subfolders are shown with a small square at the left of the folder name; if the square contains a <keycap
+>+</keycap
+> sign <mousebutton
+>left</mousebutton
+> clicking on it will expand the view to show the contents of that subfolder and the <keycap
+>+</keycap
+> sign will change to <keycap
+>-</keycap
+>, <mousebutton
+>left</mousebutton
+> clicking on the <keycap
+>-</keycap
+> sign will collapse the subfolder view.</para>
+
+<para
+>To select an item in the list you can <mousebutton
+>left</mousebutton
+> click on it, or you can navigate through the list by using the <keysym
+> Up arrow</keysym
+> and <keysym
+>Down arrow</keysym
+> keys to move around, <keysym
+>Right arrow</keysym
+> to expand a subfolder and <keysym
+> Left arrow</keysym
+> to collapse it.</para>
+
+<para
+>You can move an item to a different place in the list by using the normal Drag and Drop or <guimenuitem
+>Cut</guimenuitem
+> and <guimenuitem
+> Paste</guimenuitem
+> methods. The order in which the items appear in the <guilabel
+>Bookmark Editor</guilabel
+> is the order they will appear in the <guimenu
+>Bookmarks</guimenu
+> drop down list. The <menuchoice
+><guimenu
+>Insert </guimenu
+><guimenuitem
+>Insert Separator</guimenuitem
+></menuchoice
+> option can be used to insert separating lines into the list wherever you wish.</para>
+
+<para
+>A new subfolder can be created at the selected point in the list by using the <guimenuitem
+>Create New Folder...</guimenuitem
+> option in the <guimenu
+>Insert</guimenu
+> menu or from the drop down menu you get when you <mousebutton
+>right</mousebutton
+> click on an item in the main part of the window, or with <keycombo action="simul"
+>&Ctrl;<keycap
+>N</keycap
+></keycombo
+> </para>
+
+<para
+>To change the name of a bookmark or folder select it then press <keycap
+>F2</keycap
+> or choose the <guimenuitem
+>Rename</guimenuitem
+> item from the <guimenu
+>Edit</guimenu
+> menu or the pop up menu that appears when you <mousebutton
+>right</mousebutton
+> click on the item. Similarly, you can edit the &URL; by pressing <keycap
+>F3</keycap
+> or choosing the <guimenuitem
+> Change URL</guimenuitem
+> menu item.</para>
+
+<para
+>The <guilabel
+>Bookmark Editor</guilabel
+> lets you import bookmarks from a range of other browsers into &konqueror;'s bookmark list, putting them into a new folder or replacing all current bookmarks. To do this select <guisubmenu
+>Import</guisubmenu
+> from the <guimenu
+>File</guimenu
+> menu. The <menuchoice
+><guimenu
+>File</guimenu
+><guisubmenu
+>Export</guisubmenu
+> </menuchoice
+> option can be used to export &konqueror;'s bookmarks to a &Netscape; or Mozilla browser.</para>
+
+<para
+>If you often use the &Netscape; browser as well as &konqueror;, then rather than importing your &Netscape; bookmarks into &konqueror; it is better to select the <guimenuitem
+>Show Netscape Bookmarks in Konqueror Windows</guimenuitem
+> item in the <guimenu
+>Settings</guimenu
+> menu. If you do this any updates to &Netscape;'s bookmarks are automatically seen by &konqueror;.</para>
+
+<para
+>To select which bookmark subfolder is used to hold the Bookmark Toolbar items select the subfolder then choose <guimenuitem
+>Set as Toolbar Folder</guimenuitem
+> from the <guimenu
+>Edit</guimenu
+> menu.</para>
+
+<para
+>If you are tidying up your bookmarks and have forgotten what a particular web page is, you can easily open it from within the <guilabel
+> Bookmark Editor</guilabel
+> by <mousebutton
+>right</mousebutton
+> clicking on the item and selecting <guimenuitem
+>Open in Konqueror</guimenuitem
+> from the pop up menu. If you just want to check that the &URL; is still valid select <guimenuitem
+>Check Status</guimenuitem
+> instead.</para>

+>Don't forget to save your changes with <menuchoice
+> <guimenu
+>File</guimenu

+>Save</guimenuitem

+>&Ctrl;<keycap
