Confluence Wiki Markup for Macros

Work in progress

We are adding the details for each macro in turn. They are not all here yet. See CONF-24972 - Getting issue details... STATUS . In the meantime, please refer to the Confluence 3.5 macro documentation.

This page is an extension of Confluence Wiki Markup. It describes the wiki markup used to define specific Confluence macros – the macros that are shipped with Confluence. For each macro, we define the macro name, parameter names, and accepted parameter values.

Wiki markup is useful when you want to do one of the following:

Configure the Documentation theme.
Type wiki markup directly into the editor. Confluence will convert it to the rich text editor format as you type.
Create links using the Advanced tab of the Links Browser.
Insert a block of wiki markup into the Confluence editor. (Choose Insert > Wiki Markup.)

Note: You cannot edit content in wiki markup. Confluence does not store page content in wiki markup. Although you can enter wiki markup into the editor, Confluence will convert it to the rich text editor format immediately. You will not be able to edit the wiki markup after initial entry.

Anchor macro

Allows you to link to a specific part of a page.

Macro name: anchor

Macro body: None.

Parameter name Required Default Parameter description and accepted values

Attachments macro

Displays a list of attachments on a given page.

Macro name: attachments

Macro body: None.

Parameter name	Required	Default	Parameter description and accepted values
`old`	No	`false`	Available values: `false` - Displays only the latest version of each attachment. `true` – Displays all versions of each attachment, including the old versions.
`patterns`	No	(None)	A comma-separated list of regular expressions, used to filter the attachments by file name. Note that the parameter values must be regular expressions. For example: To match a file suffix of 'jpg', use `.jpg` (not `.jpg`). To match file names ending in 'jpg' or 'png', use `.jpg`,`.png` Here is a tutorial on regular expressions.
`sortBy`	No	`date`	Available values: `date` `size` `name`
`page`	No	The page on which the macro exists.	Page name, used to display attachments from another page.
`sortOrder`	No	The default sort order is determined by the `sortBy` type: Reverse chronological for 'date'. Largest to smallest for 'size'. Alphabetical for 'name'.	Available values: `ascending` `descending`
`labels`	No	(None)	A comma-separated list of labels. Confluence will show only attachments that have all the labels specified. (The match is an AND, not an OR.)
`upload`	No	`false`	Determines whether the list of attachments will include options allowing users to browse for, and attach, new files.

Example:

{attachments:old=false|patterns=.*png,.*jpg|sortby=name|page=My page about chocolate|sortorder=descending|labels=chocolate,cookies|upload=false}

Blog Posts macro

Lists the most recent news items in the space.

Macro name: blog-posts

Macro body: None.

Parameter name	Required	Default	Parameter description and accepted values
`content`	No	`entire`	Available values: `entire` – Display the whole content of each blog post. `excerpts` – Display a short extract from each blog post. If the post contains an Excerpt macro, the Blog Posts macro will display the content defined in the Excerpt macro. If the post does not contain an Excerpt macro, the Blog Posts macro will display the first few sentences of the post. `titles` – Display a list of blog posts, showing titles only.
`spaces`	No	`@self`	One or more space keys, separated by a comma or a space. To exclude content in a specific space, put a minus sign (-) immediately in front of that space key. For example: If you specify a space key of `-BADSPACE` you will get only content which is not in the BADSPACE. To indicate that the results must come from a specific space, put a plus sign (+) immediately in front of that space key. For example: If you specify a space key of `+GOODSPACE` you will get only content in GOODSPACE. (Note that this is not particularly useful, because each content item belongs to one space only. If you put a plus sign next to one space key and list other space keys too, the other space keys will be ignored.) Special values: `@self` — The current space. `@personal` — All personal spaces. `@global` — All site spaces. `@favorite` — The spaces you have marked as favourite. `@favourite` — The same as `@favorite` above. `@all` — All spaces in your Confluence site. `*` — The same as `@all` above. When specifying a personal space, remember to use the tilde (~) sign in front of the username, such as `~jbloggs` or `~jbloggs@example.com`.
`author`	No	(None)	One or more usernames, separated by commas.
`time`	No	(None)	Available values: `m` — Minutes `h` — Hours `d` — Days `w` — Weeks For example, `time=12h` – Display blog posts created in the last twelve hours. `time=7d` – Display blog posts created in the last seven days.
`reverse`	No	`false`	A value of `true` changes the sort order.
`sort`	No	`creation`	Available values: title — Sort alphabetically by title. creation — Sort by the date on which the content was added. modified — Sort by the date on which the content was last updated.
`max`	No	`15`	The maximum number of results to be displayed.
`label`	No	(None)	One or more label values, separated by a comma or a space. To exclude content which matches a given label, put a minus sign (-) immediately in front of that label value. For example: If you specify a label value of `-badpage` you will get only content which is not labelled with 'badpage'. To indicate that the results must match a given label value, put a plus sign (+) immediately in front of that label value. For example: If you specify a label value of `+superpage,+goodpage` you will get only content which has at least two labels, being 'superpage' and 'goodpage'.

Example:

{blog-posts:content=titles|spaces=@self,ds|author=jsmith|time=4w|reverse=true|sort=creation|max=10|label=chocolate,cookies}

Change-History macro

Displays a history of updates made to a page.

Chart macro

Displays a chart based on tabular data.

Macro name: chart

Macro body: Accepts rich text, consisting of tables that hold the chart's data.

This macro recognises a large number of parameters, listed here by type for convenience.

Chart type parameters

These parameters determine the type of chart to display and how the chart looks.

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
`type`	No	`pie`	The type of chart to display. XY charts have numerical x- and y-axes. The x values may optionally be time-based. See the `timeSeries` parameter. Available values: Standard charts `- pie, bar, line, area` XY plots – `xyArea, xyBar, xyLine, xyStep, xyStepArea, scatter, timeSeries` Other charts – `gantt` (beta)
`orientation`	No	`vertical`	The display orientation. Applies to area, bar and line charts. Available values: `vertical` – y-axis is vertical `horizontal` – x-axis is vertical
`3D`	No	`false`	Show in three dimensions. Applies to area, bar and line charts.
`stacked`	No	`false`	Stacked values. Applies to area and bar charts.
`showShapes`	No	true	Applies to line charts. Shapes are shown at each data point.
`opacity`	No	75 percent for 3D charts 50 percent for non-stacked area charts 100 percent for all other charts	A percentage value between 0 (transparent) and 100 (opaque) that determines how opaque the foreground areas and bars are.

Chart display parameters

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
`width`	No	`300`	The width of the chart in pixels.
`height`	No	`300`	The height of the chart in pixels.
`dataDisplay`	No	`false`	Determines whether to display the body of the macro, consisting of the data table. By default, the chart data table is not displayed. Available values: false – the data is not displayed. `true` or `after` – the data is displayed after the chart. `before –` the data is displayed before the chart.
`imageFormat`	No	`png`	The image format to be used for the chart. Available values: `png` `jpg`

Chart title and label parameters

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
`title`	No	(None)	The title of the chart.
`subTitle`	No	(None)	A subtitle for the chart.
`xLabel`	No	(None)	The label for the x-axis (domain).
`yLabel`	No	(None)	The label for the y-axis (range).
`legend`	No	`false`	Determines whether to show a legend (key) for the chart.

Chart data parameters

The data for the chart is taken from tables found in the macro body. The parameters below 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 in Confluence will be tried. You can specify additional conversion options using the parameters below.

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
`tables`	No	All first level tables	You can supply a comma-separated list of table IDs and/or table numbers (starting at 1) contained within the body of the macro that will be used as the data for the chart. 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`	No	All columns	You can supply a 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. 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`	No	`horizontal`	The content orientation. By default, the data tables will be interpreted as columns (horizontally) representing domain and x values. Available values: `vertical` – data table columns will be interpreted as series. `horizontal –` data tables rows will be interpreted as series.
`timeSeries`	No	`false`	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`	No	Confluence language defined date formats	For time series data, the date format allows for additional customisation of the conversion of data to date values. If a `dateFormat` is specified, it will be the first format used to interpret date values. Specify a format that matches the time series data. See simple date format.
`timePeriod`	No	`day`	The time period for time series data. Defines the granularity of how the data is interpreted. Available values: `millisecond, second, minute, hour, day, week, month, quarter, year`
`language`	No	(None)	Use in combination with the `country` parameter to form a locale. These additional number and date formats will be used for data conversion before the default languages. Available values are the two-character ISO 639-1 alpha-2 codes.
`country`	No	(None)	Use in combination with the `language` parameter to form a locale. Valid values are the two-character ISO 3166 codes.
`forgive`	No	`true`	Determines whether the macro will forgive (allow) some data formatting errors. Available values: `true` — the macro tries to convert numeric and date values that do not totally match any of the default or user-specified formats. `false` — the macro enforces strict data formatting. If there are data format errors, the chart will not be produced.

Chart colour parameters

Colours are specified using hexadecimal notation or HTML colour names.

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
`bgColor`	No	White	Background colour of the chart.
`borderColor`	No	No border	Colour of the border around the chart.
`colors`	No		A comma-separated list of colours used to customise the colours of categories, sections, and series.

Chart axis parameters

Depending on the chart type, the range and domain axis may be customised. These values are automatically generated based on the data but can be overridden by specifying one or more more of these parameters.

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
`rangeAxisLowerBound`	No	(None)	Minimum value for the range axis.
`rangeAxisUpperBound`	No	(None)	Maximum value for the range axis.
`rangeAxisTickUnit`	No	(None)	Range axis units between axis tick marks.
`rangeAxisLabelAngle`	No	(None)	Angle for the range axis label in degrees.
`domainAxisLowerBound`	No	(None)	Only applies to XY plots. Domain axis lower bound. For a date axis, this value must be expressed in the date format specified by the `dateFormat` parameter.
`domainAxisUpperBound`	No	(None)	Only applies to XY plots. Domain axis upper bound. For a date axis, this value must be expressed in the date format specified by the `dateFormat` parameter.
`domainAxisTickUnit`	No	(None)	Only applies to XY plots. 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 `timePeriod` unit can be overridden by specifying a trailing character: `y` (years), `M` (months), `d` (days), `h` (hours), `m` (minutes), `s` (seconds), `u` (milliseconds).
`domainAxisLabelAngle`	No	(None)	Only applies to XY plots. The angle for the domain axis label, in degrees.
`categoryLabelPosition`	No	(None)	Placement of the axis label text for categories. Available values: `up45` — 45 degrees going upward `up90` — 90 degrees going upward `down45` — 45 degrees going downward `down90` — 90 degrees going downward
`dateTickMarkPosition`	No	`start`	Placement of the date tick mark. Available values: `start` — 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 Parameters

Parameter Required Default Description

pieSectionLabel

No

Show only the pie section key value

Formatof pie section labels. The format uses a string with special replacement variables:

%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: To display something like 'Independent = 20':

%0% = %1%

Example 2: To display something like 'Independent (20%)':

%0% (%2%)

pieSectionExplode No No exploded sections A comma-separated list of pie keys that are to be shown exploded. Note: requires jFreeChart version 1.0.3 or higher.

Chart attachment parameters

These are advanced options that can be used for chart versioning, to enable automation 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 to re-use the attachment. This can be useful especially when combined with the Cache plugin to improve performance. Depending on the options chosen, chart images can be versioned for historical purposes.

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
`attachment`	No	(None)	The name and location where the chart image will be saved as an attachment. The user must be authorised to add attachments to the page specified. Available syntax for this parameter: `^attachmentName.png` — the chart is saved as an attachment to the current page. `page name^attachmentName.png` — the chart is saved as an attachment to the page name provided. `spacekey:page name^attachmentName.png` — the chart is saved as an attachment to the page name provided in the space indicated.
`attachmentVersion`	No	`new`	Defines the the versioning mechanism for saved charts. Available values: `new` — creates new version of the attachment. `replace` — replaces all previous versions of the chart. To replace an existing attachment, the user must be authorised 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`	No	(None)	Comment used for a saved chart attachment.
`thumbnail`	No	`false`	If `true`, the chart image attachment will be shown as a thumbnail (small, expandable) image.

Example:

Below is a simple example of a pie chart. See more examples in Wiki Markup Examples for Chart Macro.

{chart:type=pie|title=Fish Sold}
|| Fish Type || 2004 || 2005 ||
|| Herring | 9,500 | 8,300 |
|| Salmon | 2,900 | 4,200 |
|| Tuna | 1,500 | 1,500 |

For example: `MYSPACE:My page` If the value of this parameter is a forward slash (`/`) the macro will list the pages at the root of the current space. In other words, the pages without parents.
`excerpt`	No	`false`	If `true`, Confluence will display any excerpts that are defined on the child pages. The excerpts must be defined via an Excerpt macro.
`first`	No	(None)	The maximum number of child pages to be displayed (at the top level). For example, if the value of this parameter is `99`, the macro will display the first 99 pages at the top level. It will also display their children, as determined by the `depth` and `all` parameters
`depth`	No	(None)	The number of levels of child pages to display. For example, if the value is `2,` the macro will display 2 levels of child pages.
`all`	No	`false`	If `true`, Confluence will display all levels of child pages. This setting will override the `depth` setting.

Code Block macro

Displays code in your document with the appropriate syntax highlighting.

Macro name: code

Macro body: Accepts plain text.

Parameter name	Required	Default	Parameter description and accepted values
`title`	No	(None)	Adds a title to the code macro box.
`theme`	No	`Confluence`	Specifies the colour scheme used for displaying your code. Many of these themes are based on the default colour schemes of popular integrated development environments (IDEs).

`collapse`	No	`false`	If `true`, the code macro's content will be collapsed upon visiting or refreshing the Confluence page. Clicking the 'expand source' link allows you to view the content. If `false`, the code macro's content is always displayed in full.

Example:

{code:title=This is my title|theme=FadeToGrey|linenumbers=true|language=html/xml|firstline=0001|collapse=true}
This is my code
{code}

Column macro

Used with the Section macro to define columns on a page. See Working with page layouts and columns and sections.

Macro name: column

Macro body: Accepts rich text.

Parameter name	Required	Default	Parameter description and accepted values
`width`	No	100% of the page width, divided equally by the number of columns in the section.	The width of the column. Can be specified either in pixels (for example, `400px`) or as a percentage of the available page width (for example, `50%`).

Example:

{column:width=100px}
This is the content of *column 1*.
{column}

Content by Label macro

Displays a list of content associated with specific labels.

Macro name: contentbylabel

Macro body: None.

Parameter name	Required	Default	Parameter description and accepted values
`spaces`	No	`@all`	Filters the results by space. The macro will display only the pages and other content types which belong to the space(s) you specify here. You can specify one or more space keys, separated by a comma or a space. To exclude content in a specific space, put a minus sign (-) immediately in front of that space key. For example: If you specify a space key of `-BADSPACE` you will get only content which is not in the BADSPACE. To indicate that the results must come from a specific space, put a plus sign (+) immediately in front of that space key. For example: If you specify a space key of `+GOODSPACE` you will get only content in GOODSPACE. (Note that this is not particularly useful, because each content item belongs to one space only. If you put a plus sign next to one space key and list other space keys too, the other space keys will be ignored.) Special values: `@self` — The current space. `@personal` — All personal spaces. `@global` — All site spaces. `@favorite` — The spaces you have marked as favourite. `@favourite` — The same as `@favorite` above. `@all` — All spaces in your Confluence site. `*` — The same as `@all` above. When specifying a personal space, remember to use the tilde (~) sign in front of the username, such as `~jbloggs` or `~jbloggs@example.com`.
`author`	No	(None)	Filters the results by author. The macro will display only the pages and other content types which are written or updated by the author(s) you specify here. You can specify one or more authors, separated by a comma. For example: `jsmith,jbrown`
`title`	No	(None)	Adds a heading to the list.
`showLabels`	No	`true`	Determines whether to display the matching labels in the list of results.
`reverse`	No	`false`	Use this parameter in conjunction with the `sort` parameter. Set `reverse=true` to change the sort from ascending to descending. This parameter is ignored if the `sort` parameter is not specified.
`sort`	No	`modified`	Determines how the results are sorted. To change the sort order from ascending to descending, use the `reverse` parameter described above. If this parameter is not specified, the sort order defaults to descending order based on the last modification date. Values: title — Sort alphabetically by title. creation — Sort by the date on which the content was added. modified — Sort by the date on which the content was last updated.
`max`	No	`15`	Determines the maximum number of results to be displayed. Note that the results are sorted first, and then the maximum parameter is applied.
`excerpt`	No	`false`	If this parameter is set to `true`, the macro displays an excerpt from each page listed in the results. Note that you must define the excerpts on each of those pages, by adding the Excerpt macro to each page. If a particular page does not have an excerpt defined, then the Content by Label macro will not attempt to show an excerpt for that page. The Content by Label macro will show only the first few lines of the excerpt for each page.
`labels`	Yes	(None)	Use this parameter to filter the results by label. The macro will display only the pages and other content types which are tagged with the label(s) you specify here. See also the `operator` parameter. You can specify one or more label values, separated by a comma or a space. To exclude content which matches a given label, put a minus sign (-) immediately in front of that label value. For example: If you specify a label value of `-badpage` you will get only content which is not labelled with 'badpage'. To indicate that the results must match a given label value, put a plus sign (+) immediately in front of that label value. For example: If you specify a label value of `+superpage,+goodpage` you will get only content which has at least two labels, being 'superpage' and 'goodpage'.
`showSpace`	No	`true`	Determines whether to display the spaces in the list of results.
`type`	No	All	Filters the restults by content type. The macro will display only the content of the type you specify here. You can specify one or more types, separated by a comma or a space. To exclude content of a given content type, put a minus sign (-) immediately in front of that content type. For example: If you specify a content type of `-blogpost` you will get pages and all other content except for blog posts. Available values: `page` — ages. `blogpost` or `news` — blog posts, also known as news items. `attachment` – attachments.
`operator`	No	`OR`	The operator to apply to the supplied lists of labels. By default, a page with any of the non-prefixed labels (that is, labels without a plus (+) or minus (-) sign immediately preceding it) will be listed. If you specify a value of `AND`, only pages with all of the supplied non-prefixed labels will be listed. Note that this parameter only modifies the behaviour of the 'Label(s)' parameter and only affects label values without a plus (+) or minus (-) sign prefix. To avoid confusion or unexpected results, we recommend that you do not use the operator parameter in conjunction with any label values prefixed with '+' or '-' signs.

Example:

{contentbylabel:spaces=@personal,@self|author=admin,smaddox|title=My labelled pages|showLabels=false|reverse=true|sort=creation|max=10|excerpt=true|labels=chocolate,cake|showSpace=false|type=page|operator=AND}

For that reason, we recommend that you use the macro browser to edit a gadget's properties.

Example:

This example shows the Confluence Page gadget:

JIRA Issues macro

Displays a list of JIRA issues in a page.

Macro name: jiraissues

Macro body: None.

Parameter name	Required	Default	Parameter description and accepted values
`anonymous`	No	`false`	If this parameter is set to 'true', JIRA will return only the issues which allow unrestricted viewing i.e. the issues which are visible to anonymous viewers, as determined by JIRA's viewing restrictions. If this parameter is omitted or set to 'false', then the results depend on how your administrator has configured the communication between JIRA and Confluence. By default, Confluence will show only the JIRA issues which the user is authorised to view. See more details below.
`baseurl`	No	The value of the 'url' parameter	If you specify a 'baseurl', then the link in the header, pointing to your JIRA site, will use this base URL instead of the value of the 'url' parameter. This is useful when Confluence connects to JIRA with a different URL from the one used by other users.
`columns`	No	By default, the following columns are shown: type key summary assignee reporter priority status resolution created updated due	A list of JIRA column names, separated by semi-colons (;). Example columns are: key, summary, type, created, fixversion, updated, due, assignee, reporter, priority, status and resolution. You can include any columns recognised by your JIRA site, including custom columns. See the JIRA documentation for a list of names.
`count`	No	`false`	If this parameter is set to 'true', the issue list will show the number of issues in JIRA. The count will be linked to your JIRA site.
`cache`	No	`on`	The macro maintains a cache of the issues which result from the JIRA query. If the 'cache' parameter is set to 'off', the relevant part of the cache is cleared each time the macro is reloaded. (The value 'false' also works and has the same effect as 'off'.)
`height`	No	`480`	The height in pixels of the table displaying the JIRA issues. Note that this height specification is ignored in the following situations: If you set the 'renderMode' parameter (see below) to 'static'. When the JIRA issues are displayed in a PDF or Word document, in an email message or in an RSS feed.
`renderMode`	No	In formats not mentioned below, the default is 'dynamic'. The default is 'static' when the JIRA issues are displayed in a PDF or Word document, in an email message or in an RSS feed.	By default, the JIRA Issues macro offers a dynamic display with the following features: Click the column headers to sort the output. Drag and drop the columns into a different order. Temporarily remove a column from the display. View a page of issues at a time, for faster response times. Set the 'renderMode' parameter to 'static' if you want to disable the dynamic display features.
`title`	No	JIRA Issues	You can customise the title text at the top of the JIRA issues table with this parameter. For instance, setting the title to 'Bugs-to-fix' will replace the default 'JIRA Issues' text. This can help provide more context to the list of issues displayed.
`url`	Yes	none	The URL of the XML view of your selected issues in JIRA Issue Navigator. Note: If the URL in the 'url' parameter does not contain a `tempMax` argument, then the value of `tempMax` will default to 500. If your JIRA server is version 3.12 or earlier, this means that the JIRA Issues macro will return a maximum of 500 issues. If your JIRA server is version 3.13 or later, a value of 500 means that the JIRA Issues macro will return a maximum of 500 issues per page.
`width`	No	100%	The width of the table displaying the JIRA issues. Can be indicated either as a percentage (%) or in pixels (px).

Example:

{jiraissues:anonymous=true|url=http://jira.atlassian.com/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-xml/temp/SearchRequest.xml?jqlQuery=project+%3D+CONF+AND+%28summary+%7E+jiraissues+OR+description+%7E+jiraissues+OR+comment+%7E+jiraissues%29&tempMax=10|columns=type;key;summary}

The 'Required' column indicates whether the parameter is required on data entry. If the parameter is not supplied, Confluence will insert default values as indicated in the 'Default' column.
Wiki markup is not case sensitive. For example, you can specify a parameter name of sortBy or sortby.
For a few macros in wiki markup, the default parameter may be unnamed. The examples on this page show the macros concerned. In such cases, the unnamed parameter is always the first parameter specified.
