# HelpMiscellaneous/ExperimentalFeatures

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!

## Miscellaneous

- `[:page name]` and `[:page name:link text]` are a shorter form of `[wiki:Self:...]`, with the additional benefit that both `page name` and `link text` 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. This feature is not needed any more as moin-1.3 supports Unicode.

  - Contra: one more way to link to things

## Bidirectional language support

- `config.language_default` sets the default language of a wiki's content

  - 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

## User-defined forms
