    Note: The second example is incorrect in the "What you need to type" column. It should be:

    {noformat:nopanel=true}
    I do not want this text formatted!
    {noformat:nopanel=true}

      Nope, it should be:

      {noformat:nopanel=true}
      I do not want this text formatted!
      {noformat}

        Sorry about that. I've just fixed up the docs, with the correct syntax.

    this has frustrated me a lot, I have used other Wikies, but with Confluence, just entering an inline CamelCase word in mono-spaced font seems impossible without Confluence having to interpret this as a WikiWord. All I want to do is write a name of a Java class, and not create a new page. Can someone help?

    Thanks in advance.

      CamelCase is an option under Administration->General configuration/ I always turn it off.

    Is there any way I could create a user macro based on this that would have the monospace and formatting preserved, but could still recognize other macros or links etc. So for example:

     
\{noformat}
I want this text      formatted
       like this {user-macro} and use this macro {user-macro}
and this [link|some page].
\{noformat}

      Hi there,

      You might be interested to try the Panel macro which allows macro/wiki markup rendering within the "block" and hence allow using the monospace markup too.
      If you are keen to create your own User Macro or Macro, feel free to refer to the link included for more information regarding the modules respectively.

      Cheers,
      Tony

    Hi All,

    I find that if I use the noformat macro inside columns, that unless I manually break up paragraphs, that my noformat will break the columns.

    This has only started to happen recently. Is this a known issue? It would be nice if the nonformatted text-box still followed the formatting of the rest of the page, even if the code inside doesn't.

    Cheers,

    Dan.

      Hi Dan,

      Could you please raise a support ticket at https://support.atlassian.com with a sample wiki markup used for this issue. So that we can further investigate to this issue. Thanks.

      Hi Jeff,

      I am afraid the color macro will not affect the text in the noformat macro.
      I have a mere suggestion. You can try to create a User macro with style script in it. I have create an example:

      1. Create a User macro via Confluence admin >> User Macros
      2. Enter the following:
      3. Save the changes
      4. Now apply the following code to a page:

      Hope that helps.
      Best rgds

        Hi Zed,

        i was looking for the same (black box, white text und no formating). I use it to display text that looks like a dos prompt or a console.

        So I tried out your suggestion which works very well. I find out that the text within every noformat-macro turns to white. Which means that I cannot combine black-on-white and white-on-black. 

        That is not a big problem if only noformat-macros are affected. I tested panel-macro and info-macro which are not affected by the style-command. Can you give me some background informations about the impacts of using the TestColor-macro?

        Thanks in advance

    Is it no longer possible to specify "borderStyle", "title", or other options to the noformat macro in Confluence 4 as it was in previous versions?! I also just here tried to make borderStyle and title words preformatted using the brackets ({{ and }}), which again does not appear possible. It seems to be either the entire paragraph formatted, or nothing.
