Redmine

h1. Markdown formatting

Below is *Markdown* formatting. For *Textile* formatting see [[RedmineTextFormattingTextile|Textile formatting]].

Currently HTML tags are not allowed by default. See #15520 and #20497 for details.  For other limitations of the current *Markdown* formatting see #16373 and #21443.

h2. Links

h3. Redmine links

{{include(RedmineTextFormattingRedmineLinks)}}

h3. External links

URLs (http, https, ftp and ftps) are automatically turned into clickable links: 

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

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

* *[![Redmine web site](http://www.redmine.org/attachments/7069/Redmine_logo.png)](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:

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

* *[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 "Markdown syntax":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown.  See http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax, http://agea.github.io/tutorial.md/, http://stackoverflow.com/editing-help for information on using any of these features.  A few samples are included below, but the engine is capable of much more of that. For conversions see "Pandoc":http://pandoc.org. The "Redcarpet formatter":https://github.com/alminium/redmine_redcarpet_formatter is used.

More explicitly, you need to patch redmine, as explained in "this post":https://www.redmine.org/boards/2/topics/56096?r=57052#message-57052

h3. Color

<pre><code><notextile>* <span style="color:red">red</span> <span style="color:green">green</span> <span style="color:yellow">yellow</span> <span style="color:#82B6E1">blue'ish</span>

* <span style="color:red">red</span><span style="color:green">green</span><span style="color:yellow">yellow</span><span style="color:#82B6E1">blue'ish</span>

* <span style="background-color:lightgreen">Lightgreen Background</span> <span style="background-color:yellow">Yellow Background</span>

* <span style="background-color:lightgreen">Lightgreen Background</span><span style="background-color:yellow">Yellow Background</span>

</notextile></code></pre>

displays:

 * %{color:red}red% %{color:green}green% %{color:yellow}yellow% %{color:#82B6E1}blue'ish%

 * %{color:red}red%<notextile></notextile>%{color:green}green%<notextile></notextile>%{color:yellow}yellow%<notextile></notextile>%{color:#82B6E1}blue'ish%

 * %{background:lightgreen}Lightgreen Background% %{background:yellow}Yellow Background%

 * %{background:lightgreen}Lightgreen Background%<notextile></notextile>%{background:yellow}Yellow Background%

**Note:** HTML tags need to be allowed to use the HTML tag (<span>).  See #15520-16 and #15520-17 for details.

h3. Inline images

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

* *![alt text](image_url "optional 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)*.

As of this writing, Markdown has no syntax for specifying the dimensions of an image; if this is important to you, you can use regular HTML <img> tags.

* <img style="float:right" src="URL"/>

* <img style="width:100%" src="attached_image.png"/>

**Note:** HTML tags need to be allowed to use the HTML tag (<img>).  See #15520-16 and #15520-17 for details.

h3. Headings

<pre><code># Heading

## Subheading

### Subheading

or

Heading

=======

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

Markdown does not support alignment of a paragraph.  Use <div> tags if you need it.

<pre><code>left aligned

<div style="padding-left:1em;">

left ident 1em

</div>

<div style="padding-left:2em;">

left ident 2em

as well as for following lines

</div>

<div style="text-align:right;">

right aligned

</div>

<div style="padding-right:3em;text-align:right;">

right ident 3em

</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">

This is centered paragraph.

</div></code></pre>

displays;

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.

**Note:** HTML tags need to be allowed to use the HTML tags (<div>).  See #15520-16 and #15520-17 for details.

h3. Horizontal rule 

@----@

displays: 

----

h3. Preformatted Text

<pre> <pre>**Your text won't become bold**</pre> </pre>

displays:

<pre>**Your text won't become bold**</pre>

h3. Blockquotes

You can 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>

displays:

>>  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!

h3. Unordered lists

Unordered lists use asterisks (@*@), pluses (@+@), and hyphens (@-@) as list markers

<pre>

* Item 1

* Item 2

  * Item 21 (two spaces indentation)

  * Item 22

* Item 3

</pre>

displays:

* Item 1

* Item 2

** Item 21

** Item 22

* Item 3

h3. Ordered lists

Ordered lists use numbers followed by periods. 

<pre>

1. Item 1

3. Item 2

2. Item 3

  1. Item 3.1 (two spaces)

  1. Item 3.2

</pre>

displays:

# Item 1

# Item 2

# Item 3

## Item 3.1

## Item 3.2

Note that the actual numbers you use to mark the list have no effect on the output.

h3. Tasklists

You can add task list items using the common_mark format 

<pre> * [ ] Task title </pre>

or by clicking the "Task list" icon  from the toolbar.

For now, to check the items, you need to use the Edit feature, we will try to allow this by clicking on the checkbox in the near future.

h3. Tables

<pre>

|UserID (align right)|Name (align left)|Group (align center)|

|-------------------:|:----------------|:------------------:|

|2                   |John Smith       |                    |

|3                   |Dave Lopper      |A Team              |

|4                   |Robert Hill      |B Team              |

</pre>

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

|_>. UserID (align right)|_<. Name (align left)|_=. Group (align center)|

|>. 2                    |<. John Smith        |                        |

|>. 3                    |<. Dave Lopper       |_=. A Team              |

|>. 4                    |<. Robert Hill       |_=. B Team              |

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>

h3. Footnotes

A footnote works very much like a reference-style link: it consists of a marker next to the text, e.g. <pre>This is a sentence.[^1]</pre> and a footnote definition on its own line anywhere within the document, e.g. <pre>[^1]: This is a footnote.</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 also includes a few builtin macros:

{{macro_list}}

h2. Code highlighting

Default code highlightment relies on "Rouge":http://rouge.jneen.net/, a syntax highlighting library written in pure Ruby. It supports many commonly used languages such as *c*, *cpp* (c++), *csharp* (c#, cs), *css*, *diff* (patch, udiff), *go* (golang), *groovy*, *html*, *java*, *javascript* (js), *kotlin*, *objective_c* (objc), *perl* (pl), *php*, *python* (py), *r*, *ruby* (rb), *sass*, *scala*, *shell* (bash, zsh, ksh, sh), *sql*, *swift*, *xml* and *yaml* (yml) languages, where the names inside parentheses are aliases. Please refer to [[RedmineCodeHighlightingLanguages]] for the full list of supported languages.

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

<pre><code>``` ruby

Place your code here.

```</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>
