[Bug 38509] Meaningless text and missing Help for Options Dialog checkbox "Experimantal (unstable) features

[Traduction.BIZ]

Hello docs team,

I'm forwarding this registered bug to the list so that we can take our
piece of the action on it.

The request is to write an informative help entry explaining what the
"Enable Experimental (unstable) Features" checkbox does in the "Tools

Options > General" dialog box.

"@David:
Currently no useful help is available, Help for that dialog item ends for
heading "Document status".

Can you please add useful Help and then reassign to someone who can complete
dialog text for E.F (if necessary and feasible)?"

Does anyone have any suggestions or feel like jumping in?

I had a suggestion, it was in my first mail to the list about the missing help entries.

To have it in one place, I just copy it here again:

Activating experimental features

This setting activates experimental - and therefore probably buggy - features in the program. This includes features like the macro recorder or the in-line editing of Math formulae. If you find any bugs, please check the support page in the online help.

André said on the german discuss list, that the last sentence should be a reminder for the developer to link to this page. But André himself doesn't know yet how to do this.

Hi

I quite like that. I was wondering why there wasn't a link but i guess Andre or
someone will work out how to fix that sometime later.
