+*Updated 2025-01-08: [My PR](https://github.com/hotwired/turbo/pull/1263){:target="_blank"} to add a test to Turbo that validates the behaviour described in this article has been merged, i.e. it is now an official Turbo feature.*

 ## The feature
 
 [Turbo stream actions](https://turbo.hotwired.dev/handbook/streams){:target="_blank"} are a central feature of Turbo, allowing for control of the webpage from server side. In essence, turbo stream actions are a piece of custom HTML markup that Turbo has a special way of interpreting as an action to execute rather than as content to be rendered.

 I couldn't find anything mentioned about this in [the official documentation](https://turbo.hotwired.dev/handbook/streams){:target="_blank"}.

 ## Conclusion
 
-Considering how the feature was implemented and how it's not mentioned anywhere and Turbo doesn't do anything specifically to make it work, it seems almost accidental that we got this feature.
