The xbview module is a simple module to display bookmarks through a dhtml (html/css + javascript) frontend. It is designed to read bookmarks from a XML Bookmark Exchange Language (XBEL) file.

XBEL (http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/xbel/) is a xml-based format to
store and exchange bookmarks. Konqueror&Galeon support XBEL natively. Firefox
users can use an addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/2367)
to export bookmarks to XBEL (and/or directly to webspace, e.g. ftp). You can then
use XBView to view these bookmarks from within Drupal.

XBView uses a small css stylesheet to format the output, what makes it easy
to customize the layout.
