Wiki Formatting

Links

OpenProject links

OpenProject allows hyperlinking between work packages, changesets and wiki pages from anywhere wiki formatting is used.

• #124 displays a link to a work package: #124 (link is striked-through if the work package is closed)
• ##124 displays a link to a work package with context information: Bug #12: Work package subject 2012-05-14 - 2012-05-23
• ###124 displays a link to a work package with context information and an excerpt (first 3 lines) of the description
• r758 displays a link to a changeset: r758
• commit:c6f4d0fd displays a link to a changeset with a non-numeric hash: c6f4d0fd
• sandbox:r758 displays a link to a changeset of another project: sandbox:r758
• sandbox:c6f4d0fd displays a link to a changeset with a non-numeric hash: sandbox:c6f4d0fd

Wiki links:

• [[Guide]] displays a link to the page named 'Guide': Guide
• [[Guide#further-reading]] takes you to the anchor "further-reading". Headings get automatically assigned anchors so that you can refer to them: 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 other resources:

• 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"
  • sandbox:version:1.0.0 (link to version "1.0.0" in the project "sandbox")

• 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 a work package, it's possible to reference attachments of this work package only)

• 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" (use double quotes when the URL contains spaces
  • export:some/file (force the download of the file)
  • sandbox:source:some/file (link to the file located at /some/file in the repository of the project "sandbox")
  • sandbox:export:some/file (force the download of the file)

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

• Projects:
  • project#3 (link to project with id 3)
  • project:someproject (link to project named "someproject")

Escaping:

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

External links

HTTP URLs and email addresses are automatically turned into clickable links:

https://www.openproject.org, someone@foo.bar

displays: https://www.openproject.org, someone@foo.bar

If you want to display a specific text instead of the URL, you can use the standard textile syntax:

"OpenProject web site":https://www.openproject.org

displays: OpenProject web site

Text formatting

For things such as headlines, bold, tables, lists, OpenProject supports Textile syntax. See http://txstyle.org/ for information on using any of these features. A few samples are included below, but the engine is capable of much more of that.

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

Prefixing a line with h1., h2. etc. will create a heading:

h1. Heading
h2. Subheading
h3. Subsubheading

OpenProject assigns an anchor to each of those headings thus you can link to them with "#Heading", "#Subheading" and so forth.

Numbered Headings

You may also define numbered headings by prefixing lines with h1#., h2#. etc. The heading numbers are then automatically managed by OpenProject for you.

h1#. Topic Foo
h2#. Sub-Topic Foo Bar
h1#. Topic Baz

Paragraphs

p>. right aligned
p=. centered

This is a 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:

Table of content

{{toc}} => left aligned toc
{{>toc}} => right aligned toc

Acronyms

Display tooltip for acronym by entering tooltip in parantheses after upper case acronym.

WHO(World Health Organisation) => Displays "World Health Organisation" as
tooltip of "WHO"

WHO

Macros

OpenProject has the following builtin macros:

hello_world

Sample macro.

include

Include a wiki page. Example:

{{include(Foo)}}

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(Foo)}} -- lists all children of page Foo
        {{child_pages(Foo, parent=1)}} -- same as above with a link to page Foo
      

macro_list

Displays a list of all available macros, including description if available.

Code highlighting

Code highlighting relies on CodeRay, a fast syntax highlighting library written completely in Ruby. It currently supports c, cpp, css, delphi, groovy, html, java, javascript, json, php, python, rhtml, ruby, scheme, sql, xml and yaml languages.

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

<pre><code class="ruby">
  Place you code here.
</code></pre>

Example:

 1 # The Greeter class
 2 class Greeter
 3   def initialize(name)
 4     @name = name.capitalize
 5   end
 6
 7   def salute
 8     puts "Hello #{@name}!"
 9   end
10 end
