Links¶

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: User manual
• [[Guide#User-guide|User guide]] displays a link to the header on the same page with different text: 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")
  • version:"1.0 beta 2" (double quotes can be used when version name contains spaces)
  • 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)
  • 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)

• Changesets:
  • r758 (link to a changeset)
  • commit:c6f4d0fd (link to a changeset with a non-numeric hash)
  • svn1|r758 (link to a changeset of a specific repository, for projects with multiple repositories)
  • commit:hg|c6f4d0fd (link to a changeset with a non-numeric hash of a specific repository)
  • 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
  • source:"some file@52#L120" -- Double quotes can be used when the URL contains spaces
  • source:repo_identifier|some/file -- Link to a file in a repository other than the project default repository.
  • source:"repo_identifier|some file" -- Link to a file in a repository other than the project default repository, with spaces in the path.
  • export:some/file -- Force the download of the file

• 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)

• Forum messages:
  • message#1218 (link to message with id 1218)

• News items
  • news#1 (link to news item with id 1)
  • news:Greetings (link to news item with name "Greetings")
  • news:"eCookbook first release !" (double quotes can be used when news item name contains spaces)

• Projects:
  • project#3 (link to project with id 3)
  • project:someproject (link to project with name "someproject")
  • project:"Multiple words project" (double quotes can be used when project name contains spaces)

Escaping:

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

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) -- External image with a title that links to an URL:

Email addresses¶

Email addresses are automatically turned into clickable links:

• [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 Markdown syntax. 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. The Redcarpet formatter is used.

• redgreenyellowblue'ish
• Lightgreen Background Yellow Background
• Lightgreen BackgroundYellow Background

Inline images¶

•  displays an image located at image_url (textile syntax)
•  right floating image, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/255170/markdown-and-image-alignment
•  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.

Headings¶

# Heading

## Subheading

### Subheading

or

Heading
=======

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.

Horizontal rule¶

Predefined¶

To escape wiki syntax

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

Display:

 *Your text won't become bold* 

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.

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.

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:

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!

Unordered lists¶

* Item 1
* Item 2
  * Item 21 (two spaces indentation)
  * Item 22
* Item 3

displays:

• Item 1
• Item 2
  • Item 21
  • Item 22
• Item 3

Ordered lists¶

# Item 1
# Item 2
# Item 3
## Item 3.1
## Item 3.2

displays:

1. Item 1
2. Item 2
3. Item 3
   1. Item 3.1
   2. Item 3.2

Tables¶

|_.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    |

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
{{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

Displays a clickable thumbnail of an attached image.
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 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

Textile formatting¶

Redmine supports textile formatting. For details see Textile syntax

Additional supported textiles:

• %{background:lightgreen}Green Background% displays Green Background
