<p class=MsoNormal>Dear CORPORA mailing list members,<br>
<br>
Do any of you know of any tool for extracting text specifically from Wikipedia
articles, besides those for extracting text from HTML pages?<br>
<br>
I only need the title and the text, without any of the formal elements present
in every Wikipedia article (such as "From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia", "This article is about ..", [edit], the list of
languages,"Main article:","Categories:") and without
"Contents", "See also", "References",
"Notes" and "External links".<br>
<br>
Can you give me any suggestions?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much in advance,<br>
<br>
Irina<br>
<br>
