curl https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mediadesign/$WIKIPAGE?action=raw > $WIKIPAGE.mediawiki
# then convert this file into a HTML page, using the stylesheet at https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mediadesign/User:Manetta/Booklet-stylesheet.css
pandoc --from mediawiki --to html $WIKIPAGE.mediawiki --css https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mediadesign/User:Manetta/Booklet-stylesheet.css?action=raw --output $WIKIPAGE.html
