HelpMiscellaneous/ExperimentalFeatures

Note: This wiki is now frozen; you can no longer edit it, and no interactive features work.

This page describes features that are not completed yet or need pratical testing before they're added to the standard feature set. They might disappear or be changed subtantially!

1. Miscellaneous

[:pagename] and [:pagename:linktext] are a shorter form of [wiki:Self:...], with the additional benefit that pagename can contain any character, including spaces.

Pro: using spaces, and it allows &#...; recoding (yet to be added) so that it's possible to add non-western chars into wikinames of western/latin1 wikis.
Contra: one more way to link to things

2. Bidirectional language support

config.default_lang sets the default language of a wiki's content (note: this has not much to do with the user interface language a user sees)

the HTML lang attribute of a page's BODY tag is set to this language

for each language MoinMoin supports in its user interface, a correspondent [[lang]] macro exists, e.g. [[en]]

this macro sets HTML lang attributes for paragraphs etc.
it also changes the text direction
