[Corpora-List] Extracting text from Wikipedia articles

[Irina Temnikova]

Dear CORPORA mailing list members,

Do any of you know of any tool for extracting text specifically from
Wikipedia articles, besides those for extracting text from HTML pages?

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".

Can you give me any suggestions?

Thank you very much in advance,

Irina
