Wiki formatting

Links

Redmine links

Redmine allows hyperlinking between issues, changesets and wiki pages from anywhere wiki formatting is used.

• Link to an issue: #124 (displays #124, link is striked-through if the issue is closed)
• Link to a changeset: r758 (displays r758)
• Link to a changeset with a non-numeric hash: commit:c6f4d0fd (displays c6f4d0fd). Added in r1236.

Wiki links:

• [[Guide]] displays a link to the page named 'Guide': Guide
• [[Guide#further-reading]] takes you to the anchor "further-reading". Headings get automatically assigned anchors so that you can refer to them: Guide
• [[Guide|User manual]] displays a link to the same page but with a different text: User manual

You can also link to pages of an other project wiki:

• [[sandbox:some page]] displays a link to the page named 'Some page' of the Sandbox wiki
• [[sandbox:]] displays a link to the Sandbox wiki main page

Wiki links are displayed in red if the page doesn't exist yet, eg: Nonexistent page.

Links to others resources (0.7):

• Documents:
  • document#17 (link to document with id 17)
  • document:Greetings (link to the document with title "Greetings")
  • document:"Some document" (double quotes can be used when document title contains spaces)

• Versions:
  • version#3 (link to version with id 3)
  • version:1.0.0 (link to version named "1.0.0")
  • version:"1.0 beta 2"

• Attachments:
  • attachment:file.zip (link to the attachment of the current object named file.zip)
  • For now, attachments of the current object can be referenced only (if you're on an issue, it's possible to reference attachments of this issue only)

• Repository files
  • source:some/file -- Link to the file located at /some/file in the project's repository
  • source:some/file@52 -- Link to the file's revision 52
  • source:some/file#L120 -- Link to line 120 of the file
  • source:some/file@52#L120 -- Link to line 120 of the file's revision 52
  • export:some/file -- Force the download of the file

Escaping (0.7):

• You can prevent Redmine links from being parsed by preceding them with an exclamation mark: !

External links

HTTP URLs and email addresses are automatically turned into clickable links:

http://www.redmine.org, someone@foo.bar

displays: http://www.redmine.org, someone@foo.bar

If you want to display a specific text instead of the URL, you can use the standard textile syntax:

"Redmine web site":http://www.redmine.org

displays: Redmine web site

Text formatting

For things such as headlines, bold, tables, lists, Redmine supports Textile syntax. See http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/ for information on using any of these features. A few samples are included below, but the engine is capable of much more of that.

Font style

* *bold*
* _italic_
* _*bold italic*_
* +underline+
* -strike-through-

Display:

• bold
• italic
• *bold italic*
• underline
• strike-through

Inline images

• !image_url! displays an image located at image_url (textile syntax)
• !>image_url! right floating image
• If you have an image attached to your wiki page, it can be displayed inline using its filename: !attached_image.png!

Headings

h1. Heading
h2. Subheading
h3. Subsubheading

Redmine assigns an anchor to each of those headings thus you can link to them with "#Heading", "#Subheading" and so forth.

Paragraphs

p>. right aligned
p=. centered

This is centered paragraph.

Blockquotes

Start the paragraph with bq.

bq. Rails is a full-stack framework for developing database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern.
To go live, all you need to add is a database and a web server.

Display:

Table of content

{{toc}} => left aligned toc
{{>toc}} => right aligned toc

Macros

Redmine has the following builtin macros:

hello_world

Sample macro.

include

Include a wiki page. Example:

{{include(Foo)}}

macro_list

Displays a list of all available macros, including description if available.

Code highlighting

Code highlightment relies on CodeRay, a fast syntax highlighting library written completely in Ruby. It currently supports c, html, javascript, rhtml, ruby, scheme, xml languages.

You can highlight code in your wiki page using this syntax:

<pre><code class="ruby">
  Place you code here.
</code></pre>

Example:

 1 # The Greeter class
 2 class Greeter
 3   def initialize(name)
 4     @name = name.capitalize
 5   end
 6 
 7   def salute
 8     puts "Hello #{@name}!" 
 9   end
10 end
