Text Breaks

Most of the time, explicit paragraph breaks are not required - Confluence will be able to paginate your paragraphs properly.

Notation Comment
(empty line) Produces a new paragraph
\\ Creates a line break. Not often needed, most of the time Confluence will guess new lines for you appropriately.
---- creates a horizontal ruler

-- Produces symbol.
Lists

Lists allow you to present information as a series of ordered items.

Notation Comment
* some
* bullet
** indented
** bullets
* points

{dynamictasklist:thingsToDo}

The Dynamic Tasklist Macro displays a task list which can be modified in the page as it is viewed. Despite the fact that this plugin has an ajax UI, it is still fully versioned like a normal Confluence page.

Example:
What you need to type What you will get
{dynamictasklist:Arthurs To-Do's}
Images

Images can be embedded into Confluence pages from attached files or remote sources.

Notation Comment
!http://www.host.com/image.gif!
or
!attached-image.gif!
Inserts an image into the page.

If a fully qualified URL is given the image will be displayed from the remote source, otherwise an attached image file is displayed.

!spaceKey:pageTitle^image.gif!

!/2007/05/23/My Blog Post^image.gif!
Inserts an image that is attached on another page or blog post.

If no space key is defined, the current is space is used by default.

!image.jpg|thumbnail!

Insert a thumbnail of the image into the page (only works with images that are attached to the page). Users can click on the thumbnail to see the full-sized image.

Thumbnails must be enabled by the site administrator for this to work.

!image.gif|align=right, vspace=4!

For any image, you can also specify attributes of the image tag as a comma separated list of name=value pairs like so.

{gallery}

{gallery:columns=3}

{gallery:title=Some office photos, and a waterfall|columns=3}

{gallery:title=Some office photos, without the waterfall|exclude=waterfall.jpg}

{gallery:title=One office photo, and a waterfall|include=office1.jpg,waterfall.jpg}

{gallery:title=Some office photos, and a waterfall|page=Gallery of Pictures}

{gallery:title=Some office photos, and a waterfall|page=DOC:Gallery of Pictures}

{gallery:title=Some office photos, and a waterfall|sort=name}

{gallery:title=Some office photos, and a waterfall|sort=date|reverseSort}

Create a gallery of thumbnails of all images attached to a page. This will only work on pagesthat allow attachments, obviously.

The title parameter allows you to supply a title for the gallery

The columns parameter allows you to specify the number of columns in the gallery (by default, 4)

The exclude parameter allows you to specify the name of attached images to ignore (i.e., they will not be included in the gallery). You can specify more than one picture, separated by commas. Example: exclude=my picture.png,my picture2.gif

The include parameter allows you to specifically include one or more attached images. The gallery will show only those pictures. You can specify more than one picture, separated by commas. Example: include=my picture.png,my picture2.gif

The page parameter allows you specify the title of one or more pages which contains the images you want displayed. If a page is in the same space as the page containing the macro, use the format page=My Page Name. To specify a page in a different space, use page=SPACEKEY:My Page Name, such as page=DOC:Gallery Macro. You can specify more than one page, separated by commas. Example: page=Image Gallery,STAFF:Group Photos

If a page or attachment file name contains a comma, you can use it in the include, exclude, or page parameters by enclosing it in single or doublequotes. Example: include="this,that.jpg",theother.png

The sort parameter allows you to control the order of the images. The options are name,comment, date, or size.

The reverseSort parameter is used in conjunction with the sort parameter to reverse the order of the specified sort.

Previous versions of the Gallery macro had an additional slideshow parameter. This is no longer used in the latest version, and the slide show is always enabled. We have left the parameter here for compatibility with older versions of the macro.

{gliffy:name=My UML Diagram}

{gliffy:name=My UML Diagram|size=M|align=right}

{gliffy:space=Software|page=User flow|name=My user flow drawing|size=T|align=center}

Includes a Gliffy diagram in the page.

  • name - (required) The name of the diagram. This name must be unique for the current page.
  • space - (required if page attribute used, otherwise optional) The space key of the page that the diagram is attached to.
  • page - (required if space attribute used, otherwise optional) The name of teh page that the diagram is attached to.
  • size - (optional, default is L) The size of the image that will be shown. Possible values are 'L' (Full size), 'M' (medium), 'S' (small), 'T' (Thumbnail)

  • alt - (optional, default is diagram name) Image tag alternative text.
  • border - (optional, default is true) Display the border around an image.

Tables

Tables allow you to organise content in a rows and columns, with a header row if required.

Notation Comment
||heading 1||heading 2||heading 3||
|col A1|col A2|col A3|
|col B1|col B2|col B3|
Makes a table. Use double bars for a table heading row. Note that each table-row has to be defined on a single line.

The code given here produces a table that looks like:

heading 1 heading 2 heading 3
col A1 col A2 col A3
col B1 col B2 col B3

{column:width=50%}
Text in this column.
{column}

Defines a single column.

  • width: - (optional) the width of the column.
Must be defined in a section macro.

{section}

{column:width=30%}
Column one text goes here
{column}

{column:width=70%}
Column two text goes here
{column}

{section}


{section:border=true}
...
{section}

If you want to use columns instead of tables, you can define them first by marking a {section}, and then placing any number of {column}s inside.

  • border: - (optional) set to "true" to draw a border around the section and columns.

Advanced Formatting

More advanced text formatting.

Notation Comment
{code:title=Bar.java|borderStyle=solid}
// Some comments here
public String getFoo()
{
    return foo;
}
{code}

{code:xml}
<test>
  <another tag="attribute"/>
</test>
{code}
Makes a preformatted block of code with syntax highlighting. All the optional parameters of {panel} macro are valid for {code} too. The default language is Java but you can specify JavaScript, ActionScript, XML, HTML and SQL too.

Example:

Bar.java
// Some comments here
public String getFoo()
{
  return foo;
}

<test>
    <another tag="attribute"/>
</test>

{chart}

Displays a chart using data from the supplied table or tables.

  • Chart type parameters - These parameters change what type of chart to display and the way the chart looks.
    • type - The type of chart to display. The following chart types are available:

      Standard charts

      • pie (default)
      • bar
      • line
      • area

      XY plots - The standard XY plot has numerical x and y axes.The x values may optionally be time based. See timeSeries.

      • xyArea
      • xyBar
      • xyLine
      • xyStep
      • xyStepArea
      • scatter

      Other charts


    • orientation - A bar, line, or area chart will be displayed vertically (y axis is vertical) unless 'orientation=horizontal' is specified.
    • 3D - A pie, bar, or line chart will be shown in 3D if 3D=true is specified.
    • stacked - A bar or area chart will be shown with stacked values if stacked=true is specified.
    • showShapes - Shapes will be shown at each data point in a line chart unless showShapes=false.
    • opacity - A percent value between 0 (not visible) and 100 (non-transparent) that determines how opaque the foreground areas and bars display. Defaults are:
      • 75 percent for 3D charts
      • 50 percent for non-stacked area charts
      • 100 percent for all other charts
  • Display control parameters
    • width - The width of the chart in pixels (default is '300')
    • height - The height of the chart in pixels (default is '300')
    • dataDisplay - Default is false to not display the rendered body of the macro (usually the data tables). When dataDisplay=true or dataDisplay=after, the data will be displayed after the chart. When dataDisplay=before, the data will be displayed before the chart.
    • imageFormat - Default is png. Format of generated image. Valid formats are png and jpg. Other formats may be also be valid if installed on your server.
  • Title and label customization parameters
    • title - The title of the chart.
    • subTitle - A subtitle for the chart using a smaller font.
    • xLabel - The label to use for the x (domain) axis
    • yLabel - The label to use for the y (range) axis
    • legend - A legend will be displayed unless legend=false is specified.
  • Data specification parameters - The data for the chart is taken from tables found when the macro body is rendered. These options control how this data is interpreted. By default, numeric and date values are interpreted according to the Confluence global default language (locale) formats. If conversion fails, other languages defined to Confluence will be tried. Additional conversion options can be specified using the parameters below.
    • tables - Comma separated list of table ids and/or table numbers contained within the body of the macro that will be used as the data for the chart. Defaults to all first level tables. If data tables are embedded in other tables, then table selection will be required. This occurs when more complex formatting is done (for example using section and column macros).
    • columns - Comma separated list of column labels and/or column titles and/or column numbers for tables used for chart data. This applies to all tables processed. Defaults to all columns. Columns are enumerated starting at 1. Column label is the text for the column in the header row. Column title is the (html) title attribute for the column in the header row.
    • dataOrientation - The data tables will be interpreted as columns (horizontally) representing domain and x values unless 'dataOrientation=vertical'.
    • timeSeries - If 'true', the x values in an XY plot will be treated as time series data and so will be converted according date formats.
    • dateFormat - For time series data, the date format allows for additional customization of the conversion of data to date values. By default, the Confluence language defined date formats will be used. If a dateFormat is specified, it will be the first format used to interpret date values. Specify a format that matches the format of the time series data. See Date Format.
    • timePeriod - Specify the time period for time series data. Default is 'Day'. This defines the granularity of how the data is interpreted. Valid values are: Day, Hour, Millisecond, Minute, Month, Quarter, Second, Week, Year.
    • language - If provided, the language and country specification will be used to create additional number and date formats to be used for data conversion. This specification will be used before the default languages automatically used. Valid values are 2 character ISO 639-1 alpha-2 codes.
    • country - Used in combination with the language parameter. Valid values are 2 character ISO 3166 codes.
    • forgive - Default is true to try to convert numeric and date values that do not totally match any of the default or user specified formats. Specify forgive=false to enforce strict data format. Data format errors will cause the chart to not be produced.
  • Color customization parameters - See Colors for how to specify colors.
    • bgColor - Color (default is 'white') to use as the background of the chart.
    • borderColor - Color of a border around the chart. Default is to not show a border.
    • colors - Comma separated list of colors used to customize category, sections, and series colors.
  • Axis customization parameters - Depending on the chart type, the range and domain axis may be customized. These values are automatically generated based on the data but can be overridden by specifying one or more more of these paramters.
    • rangeAxisLowerBound - range axis lower bound
    • rangeAxisUpperBound - range axis upper bound
    • rangeAxisTickUnit - range axis units between axis tick marks
    • rangeAxisLabelAngle - angle for the range axis label in degrees
    • domainAxisLowerBound - domain axis lower bound. For a date axis, this value must be expressed in the date format specified by the dateFormat parameter
    • domainAxisUpperBound - domain axis upper bound. For a date axis, this value must be expressed in the date format specified by the dateFormat parameter
    • domainAxisTickUnit - domain axis units between axis tick marks. For a date axis, this value represents a count of the units specified in the timePeriod parameter. The time period unit can be overridden by specifying a trailing character: y for years, M for months, d for days, h for hours, m for minutes, s for seconds, u - milliseconds
    • domainAxisLabelAngle - angle for the domain axis label in degrees
    • categoryLabelPosition - allows axis label text position for categories to be customized
      • up45 - 45 degrees going upward
      • up90 - 90 degrees going upward
      • down45 - 45 degrees going downward
      • down90 - 90 degrees going downward
    • dateTickMarkPosition - placement of the date tick mark
      • start (default) - tick mark is at the start of the date period
      • middle - tick mark is in the middle of the date period
      • end - tick mark is at the end of the date period
  • Pie chart customization parameters
    • pieSectionLabel - Format for how pie section labels are displayed. :
      • %0% is replaced by the pie section key.
      • %1% is replaced by the pie section numeric value.
      • %2% is replaced by the pie section percent value.
      Example 1: "%0% = %1%" would display something like "Independent = 20"
      Example 2: "%0% (%2%)" would display something like "Independent (20%)"
    • pieSectionExplode - Comma separated list of pie keys that are to be shown exploded. Defaults to no exploded sections. Note: requires jFreeChart version 1.0.3 or higher.
  • Attachment parameters - These are advanced options that can be used for chart versioning, automation enablement, and to improve performance. Use these options carefully! Normally, the chart image is regenerated each time the page is displayed. These options allow for the generated image to be saved as an attachment and have subsequent access re-use the attachment. This can be useful especially when combined with the cache macro to improve performance. Depending on the options chosen, chart images can be versioned for historical purposes.
    • attachment - Chart image will be saved in a attachment.
      • ^attachment - chart.macro.param.attachment.attachment
      • page^attachment - The chart is saved as an attachment to the page name provided.
      • space:page^attachment - The chart is saved as an attachment to the page name provided in the space indicated.
    • attachmentVersion - Defines the the versioning mechanism for saved charts.
      • new - (default) Creates new version of the attachment.
      • replace - Replaces all previous versions of the chart. To replace an existing attachment, the user must be authorized to remove attachments for the page specified.
      • keep - Only saves a new attachment if an existing export of the same name does not exist. An existing attachment will not be changed or updated.
    • attachmentComment - Comment used for a saved chart attachment.
    • thumbnail - Default is false. If true, the chart image attachment will be shown as a thumbnail.

Colors

Colors can be specified by name or hex value. See Web-colors. The following are the valid color names that will automatically be converted.
Color Hexadecimal Color Hexadecimal Color Hexadecimal Color Hexadecimal
black #000000 silver #c0c0c0 maroon #800000 red #ff0000
navy #000080 blue #0000ff purple #800080 fuchsia #ff00ff

teal #008080 aqua #00ffff gray #808080 white #ffffff

Date Format

Copied from Java SimpleDateFormat specification.

Date and time formats are specified by date and time pattern strings. Within date and time pattern strings, unquoted letters from 'A' to 'Z' and from 'a' to 'z' are interpreted as pattern letters representing the components of a date or time string. Text can be quoted using single quotes (') to avoid interpretation. "'" represents a single quote. All other characters are not interpreted; theyre simply copied into the output string during formatting or matched against the input string during parsing.

The following pattern letters are defined (all other characters from 'A' to 'Z' and from 'a' to 'z' are reserved):

Letter Date or Time Component Presentation Examples
G Era designator Text AD
y Year Year 1996; 96
M Month in year Month July; Jul; 07
w Week in year Number 27
W Week in month Number 2
D Day in year Number 189
d Day in month Number 10
F Day of week in month Number 2
E Day in week Text Tuesday; Tue
a Am/pm marker Text PM
H Hour in day (0-23) Number 0
k Hour in day (1-24) Number 24
K Hour in am/pm (0-11) Number 0
h Hour in am/pm (1-12) Number 12
m Minute in hour Number 30
s Second in minute Number 55
S Millisecond Number 978
z Time zone General time zone Pacific Standard Time; PST; GMT-08:00
Z Time zone RFC 822 time zone -0800
Pattern letters are usually repeated, as their number determines the exact presentation.
  • Text: For formatting, if the number of pattern letters is 4 or more, the full form is used; otherwise a short or abbreviated form is used if available. For parsing, both forms are accepted, independent of the number of pattern letters.
  • Number: For formatting, the number of pattern letters is the minimum number of digits, and shorter numbers are zero-padded to this amount. For parsing, the number of pattern letters is ignored unless its needed to separate two adjacent fields.
  • Year: For formatting, if the number of pattern letters is 2, the year is truncated to 2 digits; otherwise it is interpreted as a number.

    For parsing, if the number of pattern letters is more than 2, the year is interpreted literally, regardless of the number of digits. So using the pattern "MM/dd/yyyy", "01/11/12" parses to Jan 11, 12 A.D.

    For parsing with the abbreviated year pattern ("y" or "yy"), SimpleDateFormat must interpret the abbreviated year relative to some century. It does this by adjusting dates to be within 80 years before and 20 years after the time the SimpleDateFormat instance is created. For example, using a pattern of "MM/dd/yy" and a SimpleDateFormat instance created on Jan 1, 1997, the string "01/11/12" would be interpreted as Jan 11, 2012 while the string "05/04/64" would be interpreted as May 4, 1964. During parsing, only strings consisting of exactly two digits, will be parsed into the default century. Any other numeric string, such as a one digit string, a three or more digit string, or a two digit string that isnt all digits (for example, "-1"), is interpreted literally. So "01/02/3" or "01/02/003" are parsed, using the same pattern, as Jan 2, 3 AD. Likewise, "01/02/-3" is parsed as Jan 2, 4 BC.

  • Month: If the number of pattern letters is 3 or more, the month is interpreted as text; otherwise, it is interpreted as a number.
  • General time zone: Time zones are interpreted as text if they have names. For time zones representing a GMT offset value, the following syntax is used:
         GMTOffsetTimeZone:
                 GMT Sign Hours : Minutes
    
         Sign: one of
                 + -
         Hours:
                 Digit
                 Digit Digit
    
         Minutes:
                 Digit Digit
         Digit: one of
                 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
    Hours must be between 0 and 23, and Minutes must be between 00 and 59. The format is locale independent and digits must be taken from the Basic Latin block of the Unicode standard.

    For parsing, RFC 822 time zones are also accepted.

  • RFC 822 time zone: For formatting, the RFC 822 4-digit time zone format is used:
         RFC822TimeZone:
                 Sign TwoDigitHours Minutes
         TwoDigitHours:
                 Digit Digit
    TwoDigitHours must be between 00 and 23. Other definitions are as for general time zones.

    For parsing, general time zones are also accepted.
