Is there an extension or feature that makes it possible to include a string of text from an external web page into a MW?
Something like [include|www.somesite.org/index.php], that grabs text within the <body>-tag of the external web page ?

Like...an RSS feed? Can't you simply link to the page? I doubt there's such an extension, with cppyright issues...

Still a noob, but...
If it's not an RSS feed, then I would image that you would have to write your own hook to do it. PHP can pull a URL, which you can then parse as needed. I wanted something similar that pulled information out of a database. As far as I could see there is nothing to get from extern source.
