Markdown formatting¶
Below is Markdown formatting. For Textile formatting see 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.
Links¶
Redmine links¶
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) -- External image with a title that links to an URL:
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
- [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.

Color¶
* <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>

displays:
- red green yellow blue'ish
- redgreenyellowblue'ish

Inline images¶
-  displays an image located at image_url (textile syntax)
-  displays an image with an alt/title attribute
- [](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: .
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.

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¶
Markdown does not support alignment of a paragraph. Use <div> tags if you need it.
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>
displays;
left aligned
left ident 1em
left ident 2em
as well as for following lines
right aligned
right ident 3em
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.

Horizontal rule¶
----
displays:
Preformatted Text¶
<pre>**Your text won't become bold**</pre>
displays:
**Your text won't become bold**
Blockquotes¶
You can 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¶
Unordered lists use asterisks (*), pluses (+), and hyphens (-) as list markers
* 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¶
Ordered lists use numbers followed by periods.
1. Item 1 3. Item 2 2. Item 3 1. Item 3.1 (two spaces) 1. Item 3.2
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.
Tasklists¶
You can add task list items using the common_mark format
* [ ] Task title
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.
Tables¶
|UserID (align right)|Name (align left)|Group (align center)| |-------------------:|:----------------|:------------------:| |2 |John Smith | | |3 |Dave Lopper |A Team | |4 |Robert Hill |B Team |
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 |
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
Footnotes¶
A footnote works very much like a reference-style link: it consists of a marker next to the text, e.g.
This is a sentence.[^1]and a footnote definition on its own line anywhere within the document, e.g.
[^1]: This is a footnote.
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_worldSample macro.
macro_listDisplays a list of all available macros, including description if available.
child_pagesDisplays 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 FooincludeIncludes a wiki page. Examples: {{include(Foo)}} {{include(projectname:Foo)}} -- to include a page of a specific project wikicollapseInserts 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. }}thumbnailDisplays 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 sizeissueDisplays 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 #123redmineExternal Redmine task links Syntax (full): [[redmine:domain>#ids|display_text|target:_blank]] Syntax (short): [[redmine>#ids]] (defaults to redmine.org) Example: [[redmine:redmine.org>#4179,4180|My Tasks|target:_blank]] Example (short): [[redmine>#9638]]
Code highlighting¶
Default code highlightment relies on Rouge, 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:
``` ruby
Place your code here.
```
Example:
# The Greeter class
class Greeter
def initialize(name)
@name = name.capitalize
end
def salute
puts "Hello #{@name}!"
end
end
