Hi,
Is there an option to get absolute URLs with action=parse ?
For instance, I would like to get "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..."
instead of "/wiki/..." in src and href attributes. I can parse the HTML
returned by the API and transform URLs, but I wonder if there is an
easier method.
action=render does this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Albert_Einstein&action=render
Having it in action=parse would be nice, but because of the way this
stuff is written (checking whether the action parameter equals
'render' and adding it if so) that's probably tricky.

Thanks, but I forgot to mention that I also use the 'text' attribute and
the headhtml prop in a POST with action=parse. I use this command to
implement a preview in an external editor (the text is not in the database
yet).
It would be nice if it was possible to implement an option to get absolute
urls but a simple replace does the trick as long as the page does not
contain source HTML :-)
Cheers,
Marc
