::I was just fiddling inside of my webbrowser and came up with the following javascript-ish pseudocode. A solution using JScript or VBScript inside (gasp) Internet Explorer would seem to be the go. |
|||
::<lang javascript> |
|||
pages = document.getElementById("mw-pages") |
|||
anchors = pages.getElementsByTagName("a") |
|||
document.location = anchors[0].href // each one |
|||
start = document.getElementsByClassName("infobox")[0] |
|||
cursor = start |
|||
desc = "" |
|||
while (cursor.tagName !== "TABLE") { |
|||
there = cursor; |
|||
desc = desc + there.innerText + "\n"; |
|||
cursor = cursor.nextElementSibling |
|||
} |
|||
// desc contains the task description</lang> |
