Work In Progress

  • We've started documenting below and will complete the page soon. Let us know in the comments if you have any specific questions on things you'd like to see added as a priority.
  • Things left to do:
    • Document Macro syntax:
      • Content model for <ri:blah> and <ac:blah> elements: what sub-elements are required versus optional (if there are any sub-elements).
      • Set of attributes for <ri:blah> elements: what's required, what's optional, what the allowed values for each attribute are, and what each attribute value will do.
    • (Still considering) Provide an XSD - "an XSD could make on the fly validation for persons having an editor supporting it (E.g. Visual Studio), and since an XSD would be a way to validate your input.

 

  • When upgrading from Confluence 3.x to Confluence 4.x, the underling storage format for your content will be migrated from a wiki markup-based format to a new XHTML-based format.
  • This page highlights the differences between these two type of markup.
  • This page is intented for developers and advanced users who need to interpret and edit the underlying markup for a Confluence page or blog post.
