it would be really nice if we could get html output from the api query ... this would avoid issuing doing dozens of action parse requests separately.
It apperas to be mentioned pretty regularly... does anyone know if a bug to that end has been filed.. I will plop one in there if none exists (did not find any with in my quick search)

I received a correct json object, but the content of the revision is full of data I do not need like {{....}} [[...]] ecc. I would like to get only the clean description, only text (like the one visible from the wiki website).
Run the parsed text (action=parse) through an HTML parser that strips all the tags.
