[Mediawiki-api] Parsing MediaWiki markup to HTML

[S Vashisht]

Hello,

I'm trying to learn how to convert MediaWiki markup to HTML. One of the ways 
I've figured out is by sending a query to api.php:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&text={{Project:Sandbox}}&format=xml

After parsing response which I get is all special characters in HTML are kind 
of escaped. For e.g. < is &lt; 

So <a> becomes

&lt;a&gt;

Is there any way to disable this feature ?

Regards,
Siteshwar Vashisht
