How do I go about munging wikimedia content? After realizing that downloadable data dumps of Wikipedia are sorted by language code, I was able to acquire the 1.6 GB compressed data, uncompress it, parse it with Parse::MediaWikiDump, and output things like article title and article text. The text contains all sorts of wikimedia mark-up: [[]], \\, #, ==, *, etc. I suppose someone has already written something that converts this markup into HTML and/or plain text, but I can't find anything. If you were to get the Wikipeda content, cache it locally, index it, and provide access to the index, then how would you deal with the Wiki mark-up? -- Eric Lease Morgan University Libraries of Notre Dame
