		This commented block is an another/alternative approach to the same problem. Potentially
		it is better because it parses wikitext in a way identical to how it is parser for article
		view - however it is not able to throw exception if the passed text is not a valid infobox.
		I'm keeping it here because I think it is a great approach and in the future I'm planning
		to create an separated API that uses this approach. - Inez Korczyński
