CamelCase linking

Index

CamelCase is a form of markup used in many wikis where words capitalized and compounded together without spaces LikeThis, are used to create links.

By default, CamelCasing is not enabled in Confluence. However, a site administrator can turn on CamelCasing from the Administration Console.

To link to a page in the same space using CamelCase linking

What you need to type What you will get
CamelCasePage CamelCasePage

where:

'CamelCasePage' is the name of the page you want to link to.

To link to a page you intend to create later (undefined page) using CamelCase linking

Confluence allows you to create links first and add add content to pages later. This type of a link is an undefined link and is indicated with the plus sign. Clicking on the link will bring up a screen where you can add content for the page.

What you need to type What you will get
NonExistentPage [NonExistentPage]

where:

'NonExistentPage' is the title of the page you intend to create later.

To ensure a CamelCase word does not become a link

(Confluence 2.1.3 or later)

Sometimes you may wish to use a CamelCase word in a page, but do not want it to be drawn as a link. You can accomplish this using the {nolink} macro:

What you need to type What you will get
{nolink:SomeWord} SomeWord
{nl:SomeWord} SomeWord

{nolink} and {nl} do the same thing, just use whichever you find more convenient.

The {nolink} and {nl} macros are only available in Confluence 2.1.3 or later. In versions of Confluence prior to 2.1.3, there is no way to prevent a CamelCase word from becoming a link short of disabling CamelCase linking across the entire Confluence site.

      Could someone please also confirm if CamelCasing only works within each Space, or if it is global?
      I tried referencing another page I created in another space but it was not able to find it until I moved it into the same space.

      If it is supposed to be global, maybe something was wrong, but if it is global, can CamelCasing be configured for just certain spaces only?

      regards,
      Paul

        Hi Paul,

        I am afraid that CamelCase linking is not enabled on this site. Once the CamelCase linking is turned on in Confluence, the feature can be used across all spaces, however, the linking only works to other pages within the same space. There is an improvement request at CONF-6526 to allow this option to be space-specific. Hope this helps.

        Cheers,
        Azwandi
