WP2TXT is a handy tool that decompresses and converts Wikipedia dump files. These files are usually coded in XML and MediaWiki formats, plus they come bz2-compressed. With WP2TXT, you can easily turn these files into plain text.
This software extracts plain text data from Wikipedia dump files that are encoded in XML and compressed with Bzip2. One cool thing about WP2TXT is that it strips away all the MediaWiki markups and extra metadata, giving you just the content you want.
Originally, WP2TXT was designed for researchers who need a straightforward way to get open-source multilingual corpora. But honestly, it's useful for anyone who wants to grab article text from Wikipedia without any fuss.
This tool is written in the Ruby programming language and has a user-friendly GUI built with wxRuby. You'll be happy to know that there are packages available for both Mac OS X and Windows users!
NOTE: WP2TXT is developed, licensed, and released under the terms of the MIT License, so you know it's open source!
