Extension:TextExtracts

API
This extension's query module, prop=extracts returns article extracts (truncated article text). Two formats are available: cleaned up HTML and plain text.

Parameters:
 * exchars: Length of extracts in characters.
 * exsentences: Number of sentences to return.
 * exintro: Return only zeroth section.
 * exsectionformat: What section heading format to use for plaintext extracts:
 * wiki — e.g., == Wikitext ==
 * plain — no special decoration
 * raw — this extension's internal representation:  <ASCII 2><ASCII 1>.


 * exlimit</tt>: Maximum number of extracts to return. Because excerpts generation can be slow, the limit is capped at 20 for intro-only extracts and 1 for whole-page extracts.
 * explaintext</tt>: Return plain-text extracts.
 * excontinue</tt>: When more results are available, use this parameter to continue.
