Wikipedia Current events in terminal

12. 11. 2022

Simple

w3m -dump https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events | less +/"$(date '+%B %d')"

Filtered

w3m -dump https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events | grep -v -e "^  • edit" -e "^  • watch" -e "^  • history" | cat -s | less +/"$(date "+%B %d")"

Notes:

Date match may fail if date lang is different than that of the page in question
grep -v -e stuff is for excluding certain lines
cat -s should remove doubled empty lines
less +/string should search for that string on start

As alias

alias events='w3m -dump https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events | grep -v -e "^  • edit" -e "^  • watch" -e "^  • history" | cat -s | less --mouse +/"$(date "+%B %d")"'
