    Displays all bookmarks in an ordered list with descriptions on a new line, does not use images for bookmarks, sorts by bookmark id, shows ratings and last-updated timestamp (Note that the last updated timestamp does not track local modifications. It tracks when whatever the link points to is updated via remote requests to pingomatic.)
