Redmine supports Textile syntax for wikis and almost anything that has a text description (issues, news, messages, changesets...).

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)

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

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 (0.6.devel.1064 and above):

• 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)

Escaping (0.6.devel.1064 and above):

• 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¶

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. Subheading

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:

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

It can be expanded by clicking a link.
}}

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

{{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
