The question isn't completely defined: do you want the links in your
static page to resolve? Or do you want them removed? Do you care
about styles? Or do you simply want the text? A wikipage is
dynamically created from database contents, but even if it is then
displayed in your browser, it is not a stand-alone document: there
are bits and pieces pulled in from (i) stylesheets, (ii) javascript
source files, (iii) images; and of course links are relative to the
original directory on your original machine
Hi Boris. Thank you very much. Unfortunatelly my english skills are not enough for explaining what I've meant. Let me try: I am configuring a mediawiki instance on my localhost building a project which is called Alarcopedia about my family history and would love sharing the status of the project with my brothers and sisters and all my relatives. So, yes, I do care about styles and all detailed informations you mention. What is the better way to achieve it if there is? I appreciate any inputs. Best regards

From your scenario, it seems you would want at least want to get rid of the side-bar menu. On your page you could click "Printable Version" in the toolbox menu, then in your browser "view page source" -> "select all", "copy" and paste into a document of your choice. You could mail that and simply accept that the links are broken and some of the functionality is not there.
Or you could just copy the text from the browser display and paste it into a basic HTML document, adding a few <p> and <br /> tags where necessary.
Anything more elaborate/robust needs a more precise specification of what you want to achieve. :-)

I suppose you could try copying the page content and pasting it into the message? Sorry but I am not a Safari user.

Hi, Steve, thank yoy. In fact, Google says:
- From the *File* menu, choose either *Mail Contents of This
Page* or *Mail Link to This Page*. 2. Mail opens and displays a new message window with either the webpage displayed in it, or a webpage link attached to it. 3. Type an email address in the To field, type a message to your friend if you'd like, and then click Send to send it.
My problem is that when I follow your hint we have http://127.0.0.1/w/mediawiki-1.15.1/index.php/ Laerte_Carlos_de_Alarc%C3%A3o#O_menino_de_Mestre_d.27Arma which is unreachable because the page is on localhost, is not?
Is there any other way left to me?
Best

Contents of This Page..
Hi Jan,
I've just tried it but on menu it is File --> Send Link by Email.
My problem is that the page I want to send is on localhost and not
reachable
trough Internet.
Is there any other way left to me?
Thank for attention. Regards, Nevio
