I created a nodejs service to convert wikitext to HTML with a frontent (written in Golang) which reads wikipedia dump and feed wikitext to this service[1]. However, after doing all this I discovered that Parsoid needs to contact wikimedia server for template expansion. Since I want to convert the entire wikipedia dump and HTML, I do not want to keep hitting wikimedia servers for template expansion requests.

So, are there any plans to add support to Parsoid to do this expansion offline. Once the wikipedia dump is downloaded, I want the entire process of converting to HTML to be offline (of course, don't need images).
