Textile formatting

Below is Textile formatting. For Markdown formatting see RedmineTextFormattingMarkdown.
For limitations of current Textile support see #6269, #10078 (Definition Lists).

Links

Redmine links

Redmine allows hyperlinking between resources (wiki pages, issues, documents...) from anywhere text formatting is used.

Wiki links:

You can also link to pages of another project's wiki (using the project identifier):

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

Links to other resources:

Escaping:

External links

HTTP URLs are automatically turned into clickable links: HTTP URLs can also use different text than the link itself:

Redmine web site

Email addresses

Email addresses are automatically turned into clickable links:

More complex email instructions can be added to an email link. A default subject, default body and CC information can be defined. Note that spaces in any of these fields need to be replaced with the code %20.

Text formatting

For things such as headlines, bold, tables, lists, Redmine supports Textile syntax. See http://redcloth.org/hobix.com/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.

Inline images

If you have an image attached to your wiki page, it can be displayed inline using its filename: !attached_image.png!

You can also apply a CSS style to the image in the same ways as styling SPANs. The code !{width: 100%}attached_image.png! will make the image adjusts to the parent's width.

Headings

h1. Heading

h2. Subheading

h3. Subheading

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

Paragraphs

p. left aligned

p(. left ident 1em

p((. left ident 2em
as well as for following lines

p>. right aligned

p)))>. right ident 3em

p=. This is centered paragraph.

Preformatted Text

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.

displays:

To go live, all you need to add is a database and a web server.

You can also use > at the beginning of each line and stack them for nested quotes:

>> 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.
> Great!

displays:

                                 (anonymous) |~. valign bottom    |

displays (all multiple spaces are replaced by 1 space):

UserID Name Group attribute list
Starting with a simple row
IT align left
1 Artur Pirozhkov Users align right
2 Vasya Rogov center
3 John Smith Admin
(root) 		valign top
4 - Nobody
(anonymous) 		valign bottom

If you want to include pipe characters inside your table (e.g. for Wiki links), you need to prevent textile from interpreting them:

Input Output
<notextile>|</notextile> |

Table of content

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

Please keep in mind, that the toc-tag needs an empty line above and underneath it and no other text before and after it.

Example:


h1. headLineOne

h2. something

{{toc}}

h2. something more

Macros

Redmine includes a macros system that lets you add custom functions to insert dynamic content in formatted text. You can learn about writing your own macros in RedmineMacros. Redmine also includes a few builtin macros:

hello_world

Sample macro.

macro_list

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

child_pages

Displays a list of child pages. With no argument, it displays the child pages of the current wiki page. Examples:

!{{child_pages}} -- can be used from a wiki page only
!{{child_pages(depth=2)}} -- display 2 levels nesting only
include

Include a wiki page. Example:

!{{include(Foo)}}

or to include a page of a specific project wiki:

!{{include(projectname:Foo)}}
collapse

Inserts of collapsed block of text. Example:

{{collapse(View details...)
This is a block of text that is collapsed by default.
It can be expanded by clicking a link.
}}
thumbnail

Displays a clickable thumbnail of an attached image. Examples:

{{thumbnail(image.png)}}
{{thumbnail(image.png, size=300, title=Thumbnail)}}
sample_macro

Sample macro

Code highlighting

Code highlighting relies on CodeRay, a fast syntax highlighting library written completely in Ruby. It currently supports C, C++, CSS, Delphi, Diff, Groovy, HTML, Java, Javascript, JSON, Nitro-XHTML, PHP, Python, RHTML, Ruby, Scheme, SQL, XML and YAML code.

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

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

Example:

# The Greeter class
class Greeter
  def initialize(name)
    @name = name.capitalize
  end

  def salute
    puts "Hello #{@name}!" 
  end
end
