I see that now on the homepage. Can I suggest that this link be repeated under "print/export" in the left-hand menu?

Ok, done.

And just out of curiousity, is there a way to get as data (markupl, csv, etc.) ?

If you find a way, I’d be interested as well ;) The MediaWiki homepage might be a good starting point [1].

It looks like recent versions of MediaWiki have an api enabled by default - if you have a login you can use it to query the docs, etc.

I've just applied for one for docs.basex - if I find anything really cool I'll post back.

Thanks again, Colin

All docs pages in a single XML file probably would be a great source for demonstrating full text search. ;)

By the way, you can fetch all pages in export format (is there any reader for that but a local mediawiki instance?) -- by using XQuery, of course:

 declare namespace xhtml = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
 declare namespace wiki = "http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.4/";
 declare option db:parser "html";

 let $pages := fn:serialize(
   doc("http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Special:AllPages")//xhtml:table[@class="mw-allpages-table-chunk"]//xhtml:a,
   map { "method" := "text", "item-separator" := "\r\n" }
 )
 let $request :=
   <http:request href="http://docs.basex.org/index.php?title=Special:Export" method="post">
     <http:body media-type="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" method="text">
       <![CDATA[catname=&curonly=1&wpDownload=1&pages=]]>{ fn:encode-for-uri($pages) }
     </http:body>
   </http:request>
 return http:send-request($request)//wiki:mediawiki

That code interprets the "All Pages" special page and feeds that list into the "Export" page.

@Christian: We're definitely missing some HTTP-Post for form data example in the docs, `<http:body method="text"/>` was really hard to find.

Yeah! I also fought half a day to make it work switching back and forth between BaseX and Expath! :-D M.
