        The Description and Filepath are not in the bookmark files.
They're added during rendering, and will change whenever you change
them via the 'o'ptions menu.  There are potentially 26 of them, and
it's helpful to know which one you are looking at when you move among
them.  They're added in HTML.c in conjuction with handling the title
end tag, so they won't get added if your remove the title, but you
shouldn't do that.

        I use -book regularly, and suggest that you spend a bit more time
understanding how the multibookmark file support works, and why it's that
way.
