If you haven't heard of it, thenhttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid
might be useful. It lets you work on HTML instead of wikitext, and can
convert that HTML back to wikitext.
I'm also curious how the this work will interact with
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation, which is also based on
Parsoid.
There is no interaction because PageMigration doesn't need to manipulate
HTML. :)
The question might have been unclear: what would be interesting (if
easily available) is the ability to input a wikitext and get as output
*only* the wikitext "markup" i.e. everything except the "linguistic"
plain text (with some approximation). So for the example at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Parsing_wikitext#Example_2
[[foo]] [[API:Query|bar]] [http://www.example.com/ baz] -> [[]]
[[API:Query|]] [http://www.example.com/ ]
or something like that.
AFAIK there are solutions to get the plain text, e.g. people often want
to look up the text of a Wiktionary entry from the API (with varying
degrees of success), but I'm not sure if there is something available to
do the opposite or one would need to build it on top of those existing
tools, by "subtraction".
