How can I get the page content of a wiki page (using MediaWiki) when developing an extension?

I'm trying to develop a MediaWiki tag extension and have read through the Manual:Tag Extension page as well as tried quering the internet. I have my hook: 

$wgParser->setHook( 'notext', 'tkNTNoTextTag' ); //Function called when see tag

and it's called function:

function tkNTNoTextTag($input, $argv, $parser, $frame) {

$output = $parser->recursiveTagParse($input, $frame);

return $output.$myText;
}

These work as expected/described. What I don't know how to do is get a page's text or content when a function is called. The MediaWiki Manual:Tag Extension pages shows which arguments are passed in when the hook is seen. I'd like to know what I have to do to be able to get the content of a page when the hook is called, either through the page's title or directly. I want to not just grab the text inside the tag, $input is the text inside, but rather the entire page when the tag is seen and I do not want to wrap the entire page in a custom tag, that seems ridiculous. Does anyone know how to do this or what resource I can read?

I'm very green when it comes to PHP and MediaWiki extensions.

Look into the other Hooks available. Manual:Hooks If you use something like the

ArticleAfterFetchContent

hook, it has the article object and the text of the article passed in

public static function onArticleAfterFetchContent( &$article, &$content ) { ... }

You can call this hook to return the content or other article information.

tkNTNoTextTag()
