h3. Redmine links

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

* Link to an issue: *!#124* (displays #124, link is striked-through if the issue is closed)

* Link to an issue note: *!#124-6*, or *!#124!#note-6*

* Link to a changeset: *!r758* (displays r758)

* Link to a changeset with a non-numeric hash: *commit:c6f4d0fd* (displays c6f4d0fd).

Wiki links:

* *[[Guide]]* displays a link to the page named 'Guide': [[Guide]]

* *[[Guide|User manual]]* displays a link to the same page but with different text: [[Guide|User manual]]

* *[[Guide#User-guide|User guide]]* displays a link to the header on the same page with different text: [[Guide#User-guide|User guide]]

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

* *[[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:

* 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)

  * *!sandbox:document:"Some document"* (link to a document with title "Some document" in project identifier "sandbox")

* Versions:

  * *!version#3* (link to version with id 3)

  * *!version:1.0.0* (link to version named "1.0.0")

  * *!sandbox:version:1.0.0* (link to version "1.0.0" in the project identifier "sandbox")

* Attachments:

  * *!attachment:file.zip* (link to the attachment of the current object named file.zip)

  * *!attachment:"file.zip"* (double quotes can be used when the filename contains non word characters)

* Changesets:

  * *!r758* (link to a changeset)

  * *!commit:c6f4d0fd* (link to a changeset with a non-numeric hash)

  * *!sandbox:r758* (link to a changeset of another project)

  * *!sandbox:commit:c6f4d0fd* (link to a changeset with a non-numeric hash of another project identifier)

* 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

* Forums:

  * *!forum#2* (link to forum with id 2)

  * *!forum:Discussion* (link to forum with name "Discussion")

  * *!forum:"Help and more"* (double quotes can be used when forum name contains spaces)

Escaping:

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

h3. External links

HTTP URLs are automatically turned into clickable links: 

* *http://www.redmine.org* -- External link to the redmine website: http://www.redmine.org

* *someone@foo.bar* -- Link to an email address: someone@foo.bar

HTTP URLs can also use different text than the link itself:

* *"Redmine web site":http://www.redmine.org* -- External link with different text: "Redmine web site":http://www.redmine.org

* *!http://www.redmine.org/attachments/7069/Redmine_logo.png(Redmine web site)!:http://www.redmine.org* -- External image with a title that links to an URL: 

p=. !http://www.redmine.org/attachments/7069/Redmine_logo.png(Redmine web site)!:http://www.redmine.org

h3. Email addresses

Email addresses are automatically turned into clickable links:

* *"Email someone":mailto:someone@foo.bar* -- Email link with different text: "Email someone":mailto:someone@foo.bar

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.

* *"Email webmaster and admin":mailto:webmaster@foo.bar?cc=admin@foo.bar* -- Email to webmaster, CC admin:  "Email webmaster and admin":mailto:webmaster@foo.bar?cc=admin@foo.bar

* *"Email someone for help":mailto:someone@foo.bar?subject=Website%20Help* -- Email link with the subject "Website Help": "Email someone for help":mailto:someone@foo.bar?subject=Website%20Help

* *"Email someone for help":mailto:someone@foo.bar?subject=Website%20Help&body=My%20problem%20is%20* -- Email link with the subject "Website Help" and a default body: "Email someone for help":mailto:someone@foo.bar?subject=Website%20Help&body=My%20problem%20is%20

h2. Text formatting

For things such as headlines, bold, tables, lists, Redmine supports "Textile syntax":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_%28markup_language%29.  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.

h3. Inline images

* *!image_url!* displays an image located at image_url (textile syntax)

* *!>image_url!* right floating image

* *!image_url(Image title)!* displays an image with an alt/title attribute

* *!image_url!:URL* displays an image located at image_url with link URL added

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.

h3. Headings

<pre><code>h1. Heading

h2. Subheading

h3. Subheading

</code></pre>

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

h3. Paragraphs

<pre><code>p. left aligned

  p(. left ident 1em

    p((. left ident 2em

    as well as for following lines

                                                                                   p>. right aligned

                                                                        p)))>. right ident 3em

Start the paragraph with *bq.*:

<pre><code>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.

</code></pre>

Displays:

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.

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

<pre>

>> 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!

</pre>

|_.UserID      |_.Name          |_.Group     |_. attribute list   |

|Starting with | a              |   simple   |row                 |

|\3=.IT                                      |<. align left       |

|1             |Artur Pirozhkov |/2.Users    |>. align right      |

|2             |Vasya Rogov     |=. center   |

|3             |John Smith      |Admin

                                 (root)      |^. valign top       |

|4             |-               |Nobody

                                 (anonymous) |~. valign bottom    |

</pre>

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

|_.UserID      |_.Name          |_.Group     |_. attribute list   |

|Starting with | a              |   simple   |row                 |

|\3=.IT                                      |<. align left       |

|1             |Artur Pirozhkov |/2.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>|</notextile></notextile>*|<notextile>|</notextile>|

h3. Table of content

<pre><code>{{toc}} => left aligned toc

{{>toc}} => right aligned toc

</code></pre>

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:

<pre><code>

h1. headLineOne

h2. something

{{toc}}

h2. something more

</code></pre>

h2. 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 alse includes a few builtin macros:

{{macro_list}}

h2. Code highlighting

Code highlighting relies on "CodeRay":http://coderay.rubychan.de/, 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><pre><code class="ruby">

  Place your code here.

</code></pre>

</code></pre>

Example:

<pre><code class="ruby">

# The Greeter class

class Greeter

  def initialize(name)

    @name = name.capitalize

  end

  def salute

    puts "Hello #{@name}!"

  end

end

</code></pre>

h2. Textile formatting

Redmine supports textile formatting. For details see "Textile syntax":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_%28markup_language%29

Additional supported textiles:

* *<notextile>%</notextile>{background:lightgreen}Green Background%* displays %{background:lightgreen}Green Background%
