Links
Links are the heart of Confluence, so learning how to create them quickly is important.
Notation |
Comment |
[#anchor]
[^attachment.ext]
or
[pagetitle]
[pagetitle#anchor]
[pagetitle^attachment.ext]
or
[spacekey:pagetitle]
[spacekey:pagetitle#anchor]
[spacekey:pagetitle^attachment.ext]
|
Creates an internal hyperlink to the specified page in the desired space (or the current one if you don't specify any space). Appending the optional '#' sign followed by an anchor name will lead into a specific bookmarked point of the desired page. Also having the optional '^' followed by the name of an attachment will lead into a link to the attachment of the desired page.
Example:
pagetitle
If such a page doesn't already exist, it will allow you to create the page in the current space. Create page links will have a after them.
Example:
anewpage
|
[link alias|#anchor|link tip]
[link alias|^attachment.ext|link tip]
or
[link alias|pagetitle|link tip]
[link alias|pagetitle#anchor|link tip]
[link alias|pagetitle^attachment.ext|link tip]
or
[link alias|spacekey:pagetitle|link tip]
[link alias|spacekey:pagetitle#anchor|link tip]
[link alias|spacekey:pagetitle^attachment.ext|link tip]
|
Creates an internal hyperlink to the specified page in the desired space (or the current one if you don't specify any space) where the link text is different from the actual hyperlink link. Also you can have an optional link tip which will appear as tooltip. Appending the optional '#' sign followed by an anchor name will lead into a specific bookmarked point of the desired page. Also having the optional '^' followed by the name of an attachment will lead into a link to the attachment of the desired page.
Example:
link alias
|
[/2004/01/12/Blog Post]
[spacekey:/2004/01/12/Blog Post]
|
Creates an internal hyperlink to the specified blog post in the desired space (or the current one if you don't specify any space). You must specify the date the post was made in /year/month/day form as shown. Anchors and link text can be added the same way as described above. If you attempt to link to a blog post that doesn't exist, no link will be created.
Example:
|
[/2004/01/12]
[spacekey:/2004/01/12]
or
[my link name|/2004/01/12]
[my link name|spacekey:/2004/01/12]
|
Creates an internal hyperlink to a view of a whole day's blog. Specify the date you wish to link to as year/month/day. Link titles can be supplied as with other links. It is possible to link to days with no blog posts on them: the destination page will just be empty.
Examples:
|
[$12345]
or
[my link name|$12345]
|
Creates a link to a piece of content by its internal database ID. This is currently the only way to link to a mail message.
Examples:
|
[spacekey:]
[custom link title|spacekey:]
|
Creates a link to the space homepage, or space summary page of a particular space. Which of these the link points to depends on the configuration of the space being linked to. If the space does not exist, the link will be drawn with a strike-through to indicate it is an invalid space.
Examples:
|
[~username]
[custom link title|~username]
|
Creates a link to the user profile page of a particular user. By default, will be drawn with a user icon and the user's full name, but if you supply a custom link text, the icon will not be drawn. If the user being linked to does not exist, the link will be drawn with a strike-through.
Examples:
|
[phrase@shortcut]
[custom link text|phrase@shortcut] |
Creates a shortcut link to the specified shortcut site. Shortcuts are configured by the site administrator. You can add a link title to shortcuts in the same manner as other links.
Examples:
|
[http://confluence.atlassian.com]
[Atlassian|http://atlassian.com] |
Creates a link to an external resource, special characters that come after the URL and are not part of it must be separated with a space. External links are denoted with an arrow icon.
Note: the [] around external links are optional in the case you do not want to use any alias for the link.
Examples:
|
[mailto:legendaryservice@atlassian.com] |
Creates a link to an email address, complete with mail icon.
Example:
legendaryservice@atlassian.com
|
[file://c:/temp/foo.txt] [file://z:/file/on/network/share.txt] |
This only works on Internet Explorer Creates a link to file on your computer or on a network share that you have mapped to a drive
|
{doc:/display/DOC/Confluence+Documentation+Home}Confluence Documentation{doc}
|
A macro that allows you to quickly create links to content at http://confluence.atlassian.com.
|
{anchor:anchorname}
|
Creates a bookmark anchor inside the page. You can then create links directly to that anchor. So the link [My Page#here] will link to wherever in "My Page" there is an {anchor:here} macro, and the link [#there] will link to wherever in the current page there is an {anchor:there} macro.
|

Lists
Lists allow you to present information as a series of ordered items.
Notation |
Comment |
* some * bullet ** indented ** bullets * points
|
A bulleted list (must be in first column). Use more (**) for deeper indentations.
Example:
|
- different - bullet - types
|
A list item (with -), several lines create a single list.
Example:
|
# a # numbered # list
|
A numbered list (must be in first column). Use more (##, ###) for deeper indentations.
Example:
- a
- numbered
- list
|
# a # numbered #* with #* nested #* bullet # list * a * bulletted *# with *# nested *# numbered * list
|
You can even go with any kind of mixed nested lists:
Example:
- a
- numbered
- list
- a
- bulletted
- with
- nested
- numbered
- list

Eagle.
In the first example, all the children of Animals are shown. The checks are for the labels
mammal, oviparous and pets. Whenever any the check is selected, the appropriate
label is added/removed to/from the page on the row.
In the second example, the excerpt of each page is shown, and it will show only the children
of Animals that have the label oviparous and the check labels
bird, fish, amphibian and reptile are mutually exclusive.

In the third example, only the children of Animals that have the label pets are shown.

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.

|
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 reverse parameter is used in conjunction with the sort parameter to reverse the order of the specified sort. Valid values are true and false . 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.

{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.
- 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. (Only used in XY Plots, standard charts will have no effect)
- domainAxisUpperBound - domain axis upper bound. For a date axis, this value must be expressed in the date format specified by the dateFormat parameter. (Only used in XY Plots, standard charts will have no effect)
- 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. (Only used in XY Plots, standard charts will have no effect)
- domainAxisLabelAngle - angle for the domain axis label in degrees. (Only used in XY Plots, standard charts will have no effect)
- 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 can be specified by name or hex value. See Web-colors. The following are the valid color names that will automatically be converted.

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):
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.

{children}
{children:all=true}
{children:depth=x}
{children:depth=x|style=h3}
{children:excerpt=true}
{children:page=Another Page}
{children:page=/}
{children:page=SPACEKEY:}
{children:page=SPACEKEY:Page Title}
{children:first=x}
{children:sort=<mode>|reverse=<true or false>}
|
Displays the children and descendants of the current page. Specify 'all=true' to show all descendants of this page, or depth=x (where x is any number > 0) to show that many levels of descendants. The 'style' attribute can be any of 'h1' through 'h6'. If you specify a style, the top level of child pages will be displayed as headings of that level, with their children then displayed as lists below. A great way to throw together a quick contents page! You can view the children of a different page in the same space with {children:page=Another Page Title}. If you specify a page of '/', you will list all the pages in the space with no parent (i.e. the top-level pages), excluding the current page If you specify a page of 'FOO:' (the colon is required), you will list all the pages with no parent in the space with key "FOO". Specify 'excerpt=true' to also display the first line of the pages excerpt (see the excerpt macro) if it exists.
Example:
The 'sort' attribute is an optional attribute that allows you to configure how the children are sorted. Specify 'creation' to sort by content creation date, 'title' to sort alphabetically on title and 'modified' to sort of last modification date. Use the reverse attribute to optionally reverse the sorting. The 'first' attribute allows you to restrict the number of children displayed at the top level.
