Description:
This URL:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&pageid=3209758
yields a page with a snippet of html looking like this:
&lt;a href=&quot;<a href="http://toolserver.org/~geohack/geohack.php?pagename=St_James_Old_Cathedral&amp;amp;params=37_42_26_S_144_56_17.9_E_&quot;">http://toolserver.org/~geohack/geohack.php?pagename=St_James_Old_Cathedral&amp;amp;params=37_42_26_S_144_56_17.9_E_&quot;</a> class=&quot;external text&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;
which winds up looking somewhat like this:
<a href="<a href="http://toolserver.org/~geohack/geohack.php?pagename=St_James_Old_Cathedral¶ms=37_42_26_S_144_56_17.9_E_"">http://toolserver.org/~geohack/geohack.php?pagename=St_James_Old_Cathedral¶ms=37_42_26_S_144_56_17.9_E_"</a> class="external text" rel="nofollow">
you can reproduce it quite easily with the url:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&pageid=3209758
and by viewing the source on the original page helps see how the html should look:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_James_Old_Cathedral
sorry in advance in case i've made a mistake and i'm not interpreting the html correctly.
sorry in advance also if major is an exaggeration of the severity!
best regards and thank you for the API.
