Description

Hello everyone.
I downloaded the first file enwiki-20210220-pages-articles1.xml-p1p41242.bz2 at the wiki server. I successfully got the extracted text after running the script. However, I found that the text seemed to ignore the table information in the wiki pages i.e. the wikitable.
Do I miss something or the dump files not contain the table information at all?
Thanks!

Research direction

Reproduce the report with the named enwiki dump and the extraction script, then inspect how wikitable content is handled in the extracted text. Compare the source page's table with the generated output; done means determining whether the dump contains the table and, if so, documenting or correcting the extraction behavior.
