How to get the source code of a web page from linux command line?

Hi.

I'm trying to get the source code of a web page from linux command line and save it to a file. I googled for it but didn't get any info. I'm not sure if wget can do this. Please help. Thanks in advance!

This is newbie advice to a newbie, but you should be able to use something along the lines of:

# curl http://thesite.com/thepage.html >> /home/pagesource.txt

Anyone feel free to correct..
