Hi,

if you want to fetch recursively try option -k.

Possibly also look at option -n

If on the other hand you want to use the print version, also try options -m or -i

Hi,

I just uploaded mediawiki2latex version 7.40 (hopefully) fixing the issue

Georges please make a package and upload to sid.
Erm. Yes, but...

Unless I misunderstand how to use  mediawiki2latex, then it is now
failing in other ways.

A simple:
  mediawiki2latex -o /tmp/Haskell.pdf  --u https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell

does *not*
"... fetch MediaWiki pages from a URL. It will fetch all
        its content recursively, i.e. subpages and pictures..." (from the
        man page)

Instead it simply copies a single page, including what I think is
metadata.

If I sidestep that problem by using the print version:
  mediawiki2latex -o /tmp/Haskell.pdf   -u 
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/Print_version

then there are other problems which I haven't investigated yet, such as
'”‘UNIQ--postMath-00000001- QINU‘
on page 16 of the pdf.

Should I re-open this bug, or open a new bug report?

Thanks for the quick response to the first problem, by the way.
