  Why not just serve plain HTML pages like C2 wiki used to do. Why use Javascript and Google Analytics. Why ask why. Fact: It took more work for someone to convert the HTML to JSON, write the Javascript and set up the proxy than it did for me to write a shell script. Not sure what were the benefit(s) to that person versus the one-time cost of switching away from plain HTML to requiring Javascript. No doubt he deemed it worth the time to set up. What I do know is the benefit to me versus the one-time cost of writing a shell script. It means I do not need to use Javascript or submit to Google Analytics. I do not even need internet access once I have downloaded the C2 wiki, converted it to text and stored it on local media. If it one day disappears from the web and the IA, I still have a copy. This wiki is a piece of history and it is not changing. Apologies for the error with the quotes. Here is a fix cat > 1.sed s/ *//;s/{ //;s/ \"date": \"//;s/. \"text\": \"//;s/)//;s/\",/\ /;s/ )//;s|\\r\\n\*|\ \ \*|g;s|\\r\\n|\ |g;s/'''//g;s/''//g;s/\\\\"/"/g;s/\\"/"/g;s/\\t//g;s/ ://g;s/ */ /g;s/\"}$// ^D curl https://proxy.c2.com/wiki/remodel/pages/EgolessProgramming|tr -d '\n'|sed -f 1.sed > 1.txt
