The error is in:
> <filter name=map filter=hash2string
> format='%{url}: %{headline}'>>
This free-formating does exactly what it says. Put the url, followed
by ':' and the the headding. If you want to get the same as the
default output you should say:
> <filter name=map filter=hash2string
format='<a href="%{url}">%{headline}</a>'>>
hash2string basically allows you to generate any type of the result by
doing basic substitution. To see what elements you can use for
substitution check each handler's individual documentation.
Hope this helps.
