TextFormatting help for Markdown formatting
0%
Description
Just recently became a Redmine user/administrator. Started with 2.4.2, but upgrading to 2.5.0 yesterday once I learned about the new Markdown support in the core: #15520
Shortly after, I started editing wiki pages and attempted to add an inline image for the first time using the syntax documented here:
RedmineTextFormatting#Inline-images
However, the markup ("!new_project.png!") ends up rendered as plain-text, rather than being replaced by the inline image of the same name which I attached to the same Wiki page.
I then went to the Redmine Demo to confirm that I am in, in fact, doing it right:
http://demo.redmine.org/projects/test-of-in-lining-images-in-wiki/wiki/Wiki
So, I suspect this has something to do with changing my setting to Markdown. I'm attaching a screenshot showing the results of my failed attempt.
From the admin info page:
Redmine 2.5.0.stable.12980

- Tracker changed from Defect to Feature
- Subject changed from Wiki inline images broken with Markdown to TextFormatting help for Markdown formatting
- Category changed from Wiki to Documentation
The markup you're using (!new_project.png!) is a Textile markup. If you want to use Markdown, you'll have to use the Markdown markup for that, eg. .
Part of the documentation available in RedmineTextFormatting is specific to textile formatting. We should split it and add Markdown examples.

Ah, I see. I had read somewhere that the syntax for linking to internal objects was Redmine-specific, so I assume that meant independant of wiki syntax. (For example, the syntax for inlining an external image still works the same after the changeover.)
I just tested it to confirm this, and it's working. Thanks!
Updated by Jean-Philippe Lang about 9 years ago
Yes, internal linking syntax does not depend on text formatting setting. The documentation should explain that.
Thanks for your feedback.

There are still five textile references left in the new *_detailed_markdown.html files. The attached patch fixes them. The patch is created against source:/trunk@14420 and can be applied using "patch -p1 < 0001...".

Hi @Go MAEDA, I can see this syntax help link within the official redmine issue editor. But there's no link in my own deploy. Is this link only available in the official site?

Markdown help will be available in Redmine 3.1.0 (not yet released). Please wait 3.1.0 or consider overwriting public/help/*/wiki_syntax.html and public/help/*/wiki_syntax_detailed.html on your installation with wiki_syntax_md.html and wiki_syntax_detailed_md.html.

In the discussion starting with http://www.redmine.org/issues/15520#note-11 there was a revelation of Redmine having a special Markdown flavour, not standard Markdown. This should be visibly emphasized at the beginning of the documentation and in the settings, the name shouldn't be Markdown any more, but rather Redmine Markdown indicating it's a non-standard Markdown/CommonMark flavour.
Also if you really decide in the end, that HTML will be disabled, this should be also emphasized in the Redmine Markdown help, because it's another major divergence from the standard Markdown/CommonMark.

dumb blob, this issue and #15520 are closed.
It would be better to create a new issue if you want to discuss support of inline HTML.

You can edit it.

Maruyama-san,
You can edit it.
Yes, I can.
But I only have wiki_syntax_detailed_md.html. I think it must be generated from a Textile source code.
If you send it to me, I am glad to replace http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineTextFormattingMarkdown page with it.
Thank you.

We need a Textile source code (text) to update http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineTextFormattingMarkdown which is written in Textile.
Without the textile text I have to convert wiki_syntax_detailed_md.html written in HTML to Textile.
I hope this makes sense for you.

I don't know RedmineTextFormattingMarkdown status.
If you think it is not synced with source:trunk/public/help/en/wiki_syntax_detailed_markdown.html@15715 ,
You can edit it manually.

Maruyama-san,
If you think it is not synced with source:trunk/public/help/en/wiki_syntax_detailed_markdown.html@15715 ,
It is not sync-ed at a glance.
But I understand the situation by checking history of source:trunk/public/help/en/wiki_syntax_detailed_markdown.html.
I thought Maeda-san attached wiki_syntax_detailed_md.html which was converted from textile.
But you are maintaining the two same contents separately.
I'll try to sync the wiki page with the HTML. Give me some time.

Before doing this, I've found we have to sync source:trunk/public/help/en/wiki_syntax_detailed_textile.html with RedmineTextFormattingTextile.
As far as I took a look, RedmineTextFormattingTextile is most maintained. I am going to use RedmineTextFormattingTextile as a master file.
I will sync the Textile helps first. Then I will sync the Markdown helps with the Textile helps.
Updated by Hiroo Hayashi over 6 years ago
I've updated RedmineTextFormattingTextile first. Please double-check.
- changes to be more consistent. (displays, Display, Displays -> displays, etc.)
- merge some lines which were only in source:trunk/public/help/en/wiki_syntax_detailed_textile.html
The section Redmine Links is common to RedmineTextFormattingTextile and RedmineTextFormattingMarkdown (according to the current documents. I have not test most of them in Markdown mode.)
So I'd like to propose the following change to sync each other. Do you see any concern or problem?
- create a wiki page RedmineTextFormattingRedmineLinks.
- Move the section "Redmine Links" into the new wiki page.
- let RedmineTextFormattingTextile and RedmineTextFormattingMarkdown include the new wiki page
