Wiki-exporter Extension

Allows you to export wikipedia elements as text.

Current formats:
- Markdown
- HTML

Currently Supported Elements:
- Infoboxes
- Tables
- Figures

Limitations:
- Tables with subcolumns/subrows aren't supported by markdown tables, so aren't supported for markdown export
- Figures with multiple images are classified differently so aren't currently supported
- Complex layouts inside of the infobox such as collapsable tables have issues
- Slim Inline Styles can be broken by external CSS

Once installed, a tools button will appear in the bottom right on any wikipedia page.
This will allow you to change settings or export an element. Once you've clicked a format,
simply select the element on the page you wish to copy.
