| 15 | <description of feature N> | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | == Export big wikis as XAR == | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | It's possible to enable the use of new WikiStream framework in standard export action (use in the standard export UI for example). Among other things it allows exporting a wiki of pretty much any size. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | WikiStream is too young for it to be enabled by default and will require heavy testing. In the meantime you can try it by uncommenting {{code}}# xwiki.action.export.xar.usewikistream=1{{/code}} at the end of xwiki.cfg file. | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | == Markdown Syntax 1.1 == | ||
