Hi all,
I've been using the API and so far I'm very pleased! I would like to know if it is possible to get the HTML version of an article directly , or if I have to get the wiki markup and convert it (which is what i am doing).
You don't need the API to get the HTML version of an article. You can just use action=render
Second question is if the API can return the 'search' results of a keyword that doesn't exist (when you enter a word for which there isn't an article yet, wikipedia returns a page with possible articles). Can the API provide me with the list? I've tried most things on the manual but none worked for me (so please don't respond rtfm :) )
Sadly, the search API is not yet supported by the Lucerne search backend currently in place on Wikipedia et al.

Thanks for the great work to everyone involved with the API or reading the list,
Markos
