Hi,

 That would be the plan for next major release.
 The use of tags is for portability,
 and RTF format is not easiler to parse than XML from my point of view.
 So the bottom line is that the file will still save as XML.
 But people should be able to make links the same way they mark text with 
bold font.
 Since the saved file is in XML format,
 the application is not required to extract the information.
 The application just makes it easy to do so.
 The most important thing for me is that I need to extract the information
 even when I have no access to GNUstep or Cocoa.
 I have some ideas about how to make links as formatting text,
 something like the email address in the Mail.app,
 which is a text attachment but contain not only the text, but other 
attributes.
 It takes more time to implement and is not essentail for my current usage.
