Hi all, I really like your API. I'm wondering how do I get the data in xml format of a page? I've been using wikipedia's example here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php, for details, and I can see how to search for pages, get metadata, and other such nifty stuff. But really all I want is the content of a page -- how would I, say, get the English wikipedia data of the page on Albert Einstein in xml format? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query something I hope! Thanks for your help!
