Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/1055

Some web browsers still use HTML filetype to manage bookmarks. See #616

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a tool to convert HTML to XBEL.

Why?

An addon may be a solution, but only for temporary time since we are subjected to the whims of others. See example from the past.
1.1. Andy Halford's addons were using the XBEL format too and were helpful to migrate to XBEL supportied web browsers.
An addon must be browser specific, which would require more work.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Package htmlToXBel of Aurora project as an optional utility software for floccus. Mentioned at https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/616#issuecomment-1053198133 and #1054

Floccus can technically already convert between XBEL and HTML. Why do you need conversion to XBEL?

I guess this is no longer necessary with https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/pull/1180 being merged
