Also ignore lines starting with "#", ":", " " (space), or ";" .
Then there are (potentially nested) tables, which start with a line
beginning with "{|" and end in a line beginning with "|}".
There are more "magic words" with the general pattern
"__SOMEUPPERCASECHARACTERS__", IIRC.
Note that sometimes, people start the paragraph after a closure that
should be alone, such as
|} First line of text
[[ and ]] pairs should not extend over a line, but they can be nested,
e.g. for images.
Or, and there are HTML comments to remove, and <nowiki>...</nowiki>
That's all I can come up with right now...
