I thought Magnus would also make write a message on this list, as he did
yesterday on gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical ... but he
didn't. I quote his mail:

Here it is! The millionth pseudo-parser I wrote for wiki(p|m)edia! :-)
Written as a single class, it takes a MediaWiki-style markuped (is that
a word?) source and generates the XML flavor Timwi and I have been using
in all our unfinished projects! ;-)
Try it out at
http://www.magnusmanske.de/wikipedia/wiki2xml.php
Just paste a wiki source text in, and get the XML. As you will notice,
it wasn't written for speed.
It is not a "real" parser, but the structure is simlar to what a parser
generator would make, except taking a few shortcuts here and there.
This could be the heart of a *real* export function. Just write a
XML-to-PDF generator (and replace the templates, and get rid of the
categories and language links) and you're done! :-)

That was just to let you know of something I really like :D
