"fossil wiki export" outputs the "raw" content of the wiki page, which
seems reasonable, And, when the page contains only wiki mark-up, is very
readable.
Maybe an option to strip HTML, but I would not change the current default
behavior.
Also, from the command line, I sometimes use the lynx web browser, which is
text only. I have a bash macro, so I can type:
fw page+name
The macro is defined as:
fw() { lynx -dump "http://localhost:8080/wiki?name=$1"; | less }
The only downside to this macro is needing to type + instead of spaces when
a page name has spaces. (Though, I'm old enough that my first use of a wiki
was with one that used the old "WikiWord" convention for naming pages, so I
tend to name wiki pages in that style.
