Wikipedia to Plain Text Converter

Converts wikipedia urls into simple text without any annoying references

Wikipedia articles are infamous for being heavily referenced. One article could all of a sudden end up being a rabbit hole where you start clicking on other links and might soon get lost in the process. This ruby script converts your wikipedia url into simple text. You will have all that you need without any references. Removing references also comes in handy when you are plugging this into any text-to-audio converter

Installation

$ gem install simple_wiki_converter

$ require 'simple_wiki_converter'

$ scraper = SimpleWikiConverter::WikiScraper.new("enter-url-here")

$ puts scraper.scrape
