Added info on how to format complex email links


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

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:

  • 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)
    • document:some_project:"Some document" (link to a document in a different project)
  • 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"
  • Projects:
    • project#<id> (link to project with <id>)
    • project:<identifier>
    • project:<name>
  • 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
    • source:"some file@52#L120" -- Double quotes can be used when the URL contains spaces
    • export:some/file -- Force the download of the file

Escaping:

  • 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 URLs an email addresses can also use different text than the link itself:
  • "Redmine web site":http://www.redmine.org -- External link with different text: Redmine web site
  • "Email someone":mailto:someone@foo.bar -- Email link with different text: Email someone
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
  • "Email someone for help":mailto:someone@foo.bar?subject=Website%20Help -- Email link with the subject "Website Help": Email someone for help
  • "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

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.

  • italic
  • bold italic
  • underline

Inline images

  • !image_url! displays an image located at image_url (textile syntax)
  • !>image_url! right floating image
  • !{width:300px}image_url! sets the width of the image

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

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
{{child_pages(Foo)}} -- lists all children of page Foo
{{child_pages(Foo, parent=1)}} -- same as above with a link to page Foo
include
Includes a wiki page. Examples:

{{include(Foo)}}
{{include(projectname:Foo)}} -- to include a page of a specific project wiki
collapse
Inserts of collapsed block of text. Examples:

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

{{collapse(View details...)
With custom link text.
}}
thumbnail

Default size is 200 pixels. Examples:

{{thumbnail(image.png)}}
{{thumbnail(image.png, size=300, title=Thumbnail)}} -- with custom title and size
issue
Displays an issue link including additional information. Examples:

{{issue(123)}}                              -- Issue #123: Enhance macro capabilities
{{issue(123, project=true)}}                -- Andromeda - Issue #123: Enhance macro capabilities
{{issue(123, tracker=false)}}               -- #123: Enhance macro capabilities
{{issue(123, subject=false, project=true)}} -- Andromeda - Issue #123
sample_macro
Sample macro

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:

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

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