    Markup Example

    Paragraph

    Formats the content of the wiki page into a paragraph that appears between the paragraph tags. This macro has the following attributes:

    • margin-left - the unit of this attribute should be in em (a linear unit - 1/6 inch).

    • margin-right- the unit of this attribute should be in em.

    • line-height - the unit of this attribute should be in pt (point).

    If the unit of these attributes is not specified, the default unit is px (pixel).

    {paragraph:margin-left=3em|margin-right=3em|line-height=12pt} ABC {/paragraph}

    Align

    Aligns the content that appears between the align tags. You can use these attributes to define the align of the text: left, center and right.

    {align:left}ABC{/align}

    Embed page

    Includes the content of a page with a defined ID into another page where the macro is used.

    ABC {embedpage:id=1047}

    Text Highlighting

    Highlights the content that appears between the highlight tags. A custom highlight color can be specified by adding the color attribute to this tag.

    {highlight:color=red}ABC{/highlight}

    Displays all the headings with attributes from h1 to h6 as the table of contents. The allowed values for the attributes ( h1...h6) are:

    • none

    • decimal

    • lower-alpha

    • upper-alpha

    • lower-roman

    • upper-roman

    {toc:h1=decimal|h2=lower-alpha}

    {columns}

    {col} Column 1 {/col}

    {col:border=true|width=50%} Column 2 {/col}
