[Mediawiki-api] parse output

[Chad]

Action=parse can take multiple titles, and you can get
other page metadata in addition to just HTML output.
Not to mention you can bundle it into one request with
action=parse|query.

it would be really nice if we could get html output from the api query

It apperas to be mentioned pretty regularly... does anyone know if a bug
to that end has been filed.. I will plop one in there if none exists
(did not find any with in my quick search)
