Toolserver:Summary

Returns an HTML summary snippet of an arbitrary Wikipedia article.


 * Images are removed

 * Reftags are removed
 * Text in round brackets is removed
 * Redirects are followed
 * Articletitle is converted to a link to the article
 * Wikilinks are parsed
 * Processing stops at the first section header

Examples

 * 1) http://toolserver.org/~dschwen/summary/?t=Rome&l=en
 * 2) http://toolserver.org/~dschwen/summary/?t=Driveshaft&l=en
 * 3) http://toolserver.org/~dschwen/summary/?t=Dresden&l=de

Bugs and limitations

 * Does not know about localized #REDIRECT and Image namespaces (just en and de so far).
 * Single square bracket links are not detected yet.
 * Cut-off due to length limitation may sever HTML tags and produce invalid output (this is actualy a hard problem!)
