I was trying to parse the Wikipedia dumps but unfortunately I find the XML file that can be downloaded a little hard to parse. I was wondering if there is a neat way to extract: 1. The article title
/mediawiki/page/title
2. The article content ( without links to articlesin other languages, external links and so on )
The article content *contains* those links, so I guess you mean you want to parse the text and remove certain elements of it?
3. The category.Again, that's part of article text.
Also I find that there are a large number of tools that allow one to convert plain text to media wiki text. What if I want to go the other way and extract information exactly the way it appears on the wikipedia site.
Run the wiki parser on it.
