You can now use LinkAbbrevs by name (not by URL) without a |; ie, instead of writing [[<text>|]], you can just write [[<text>]]. This only happens if <text> wouldn't result in a link to a real page or an external URL if there was no abbreviation.

Thus, one can write [[Google http://www.google.com/]] in the page once, and later write [[Google]], and have it work out.

DWiki now lets you use spaces to separate things in [[....]] links instead of |. If you do this, the last word is taken as the link URL or page, and the rest are the link name. (| has priority over this; DWiki tries space-separation only if there is no |.)

Thus [[Google Rules The Web http://www.google.com/]] turns into Google Rules The Web.

You can use either side as an abbeviation later, for example: Google Rules The Web, Google Rules The Web. (See View Source.)

LinkAbbrevs done this way don't have to use |, as long as there is a space in the value: [[Google Rules The Web]] still turns into Google Rules The Web.

This allows somewhat more aesthetic long link name things.

Note that the opening [[ and the closing ]] have to be on the same line in the wikitext.
