Examples

## When you have a single URL:

urltoHtml("https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socrates", text = "Socrates")

## It is possible to work with several items:

A <- c("https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socrates", 
       "https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato", 
       "https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristotle")
urltoHtml (A, text = c("Socrates", "Plato", "Aristotle"))

## And  you can also directly extract the info from nametoWikiURL():

urltoHtml(nametoWikiURL("Plato", "en"), "Plato" )
urltoHtml(nametoWikiURL(c("Plato", "Socrates", "Aristotle"), language="en"), 
          c("Plato", "Socrates", "Aristotle"))
