If I use
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&titles=Lightweight_markup_language&explaintext
or
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&titles=Lightweight_markup_language
it gets a plain text extract of a page's main content nicely - but ignores anything inside tables. Is there a way round that?
Thanks; Andrew
