get_displaytext: Retrieve Displayed Text From Nodes

In Ironholds/mwparser: Wikimarkup parser

Description

Some wikimarkup elements (wikilinks or text, say) have chunks visible when parsed into HTML by MediaWiki. get_displaytext retrieves the visible element for each node in a list of nodes.

Usage

get_displaytext(nodes, as_text = FALSE)

Arguments

nodes	a list of nodes, retrieved with get_nodes.
as_text	whether to return the visible element of each node as text rather than a Wikimarkup object. FALSE by default.

Value

a list of either wikimarkup objects or strings, depending on the value of as_text. For nodes without a certain display element (for example, templates), NA will be returned.

See Also

get_dest to retrieve the link destination in the case of internal or external links.
