Community-Tech isn't going to work on this.

The basic issue here is that lawikisource uses the InterWikiTransclusion.js script which pulls in page content from a different Wikisource. This is not something that WS Export (or any other reuser of the wiki's content) can easily access or replicate, and is I think a deprecated way of doing things. For instance, the source of the example work above looks like this: https://la.wikisource.org/api/rest_v1/page/html/Ora_Maritima%2FPreface — i.e. empty. This is what WS Export sees and can include in the export.

I'm not sure what the best solution is.
