Macros allow the insertion of system features into normal wiki pages; the only thing that makes those pages special is that they contain macros. If you edit pages like RecentChanges or SystemInfo, you'll see what that means. For more information on the possible markup, see HelpOnEditing and HelpOnMoinWikiSyntax.

MoinMoin now uses a new search engine, that lets your make sophisticated searches using both the interactive search box or any of the search macros. For more help, see HelpOnSearching. Macro Description <<AdvancedSearch>> create an advanced search dialogue on the page. See FindPage. <<TitleSearch>> create a search box on the page, which search the page titles. See FindPage. <<FullSearch>> create a search box on the page, which search the page contents.See FindPage. <<FullSearch()>> print a list of pages whose content matches the current page title (like clicking on the page title). See CategoryCategory for example <<FullSearch(text[, highlight_titles={0|1}, highlight_pages={0|1}])>> print a list of pages whose content matches the search term. If search_macro_parse_args configuration option is set, then highlight_titles parameter gives ability to control highlighting of matches in page names showed in search results and highlight_pages parameter controls whether links in these search results contain query parameter which turns highlighting of matches in page body. <<FullSearchCached(text[, highlight_titles={0|1}, highlight_pages={0|1}])>> Works like the FullSearch macro but caches the results statically. Use it if you prefer speed over an up-to-date result. Behavior of highlight_titles and highlight_pages parameters is the same as in FullSearch macro. <<GoTo>> directly go to the page you enter. See FindPage. <<PageList(Help[, highlight_titles={0|1}])>> print a list of pages whose title matches the search term. See HelpIndex. Behavior of highlight_titles parameter is the same as in FullSearch macro.

Macro Description <<RecentChanges>> a list of recently edited pages. See RecentChanges <<TitleIndex>> an index of all page titles. See TitleIndex <<WordIndex>> an index of all words in page titles. See WordIndex <<WantedPages>> list links to non-existent pages. See WantedPages <<OrphanedPages>> list pages no other page links to. See OrphanedPages <<AbandonedPages>> list pages that were not edited for the longest time. See AbandonedPages <<RandomPage>> inserts a link to a random page. <<RandomPage(#)>> links to a number of random pages. <<TableOfContents([maxdepth])>> display a local table of contents, possibly limited to a maximal depth. <<Anchor(anchorname)>> macro to insert anchors into a page. <<Navigation(children[,maxdepth])>> macro to list all of a pages' children. See start of this page for sample. <<Navigation(siblings[,maxdepth])>> quick navigation to siblings of a page. See /MailTo for sample. <<Navigation(slideshow)>> creates a link to toggle between slide show and wiki mode, and a link to start the slide show. See HelpOnSlideShows <<Navigation(slides)>> displays first/prev/next/last links. See HelpOnSlideShows <<AttachInfo>> displays number of attachments for current page. See HelpOnActions/AttachFile <<AttachInfo(page)>> displays number of attachments for page. See HelpOnActions/AttachFile <<AttachList(pagename,mimetype,searchterm)>> displays list of attachments. See HelpOnActions/AttachFile

Macro Description <<Hits>> a counter for page hits <<Hits([all=(False,True)][,event_type=(VIEWPAGE,SAVEPAGE)]>> <<InterWiki>> a list of all known InterWiki names.<<SystemInfo>> info on the wiki, the python interpreter and the host system. <<PageCount(exists)>>current page count. If exists is supplied as an argument, only existing pages will be shown. <<PageSize>> list the sizes of all pages. See PageSize <<StatsChart(type)>> shows statistical charts (currently defined types: hitcounts, pagesize, useragents, languages). See EventStats and subpages <<SystemAdmin>> Information for system administrators, see SystemAdmin. You need to be superuser to use this macro. <<EditedSystemPages>> A list of system pages that were modified. <<WikiConfig>> Shows wiki configuration settings which are either non-default or unknown. You need to be superuser to use this macro. <<WikiConfigHelp>> Shows all wiki configuration settings with descriptions. <<HighlighterList>> List available Pygments lexers.

MacroDescription <<Action(action [,text])>>links to page with valid action, optional text could be used as alias. (action names are case sensitive). Example: <<Action(print, Print this page)>> will generate Print this page<<Icon(image)>>display system icons. See HelpOnNavigation <<BR>> insert a line break. <<RandomQuote(pagename)>> Select a random quote from the given page, or from FortuneCookies if omitted. <<Include(HelloWorld[,"heading"[,level]])>> include contents of another page. See /Include <<FootNote(text)>> Add a footnotethe text cannot contain any wiki markup, or explicitly display collected footnotes when no args are given. <<Date(timestamp)>> display a timestamp according to system settings, in the style of <<DateTime(timestamp)>> display a timestamp"timestamp" can be empty (current time), a number of seconds since 1970 (unix timestamp), or a W3C time specification ("2002-01-23T12:34:56"). See RFC822, sect. 5. according to user settings, in the style of <<GetText(text)>> (mainly intended for use on Help pages) Loads I18N texts. Example: "EditText" is translated to "EditText" <<GetText2(,message,argument1,argument2,...)>> (mainly intended for use on Help pages or in generated output on wiki pages) loads I18N texts and replaces %s in the message by the arguments. The first character of the argument is used as the separator (in this example: a comma). You can escape the separator by using a backslash. Example: "<<GetText2(,[You may not read %s],FooBar)>>" yields "[You may not read FooBar]". For named placeholders, use "key=value" argument syntax, for example, "<<GetText2(,Upload new attachment \"%(filename)s\",filename=file.txt)>>" yields "Upload new attachment "file.txt"". <<TeudView>> useful for intranet developer wikis, a means to view pydoc documentation, formatted via a XSLT stylesheet. See <<MailTo(email)>> protect your email address from spam bots.

If `NameTemplate` is not specified or empty, it defaults to `%s`. @ME is used if you want the page created below the users homepage. @SELF is used to create a subpage below the page where it is called from. <<GetVal(NeatSnippets,regards)>> Retrieve dictionary entries from dict pages. Example: If you have a page called GermanDict which contains the entry Test, you should see the translation here: <<MonthCalendar(,,12)>> Displays a Calendar and creates link for entries to each day on subpages. See /MonthCalendar None
