h1. Markdown formatting

Below is copy of *Textile* formatting that needs to be updated to *Markdown* formatting. For *Textile* formatting see [[RedmineTextFormattingTextile|Textile formatting]]. Please help.
Currently HTML tags are not allowed by default. See #15520 and #20497 for details. For other limitations of the current *Markdown* formatting see #15520, #16373 and #21443.

h3. Redmine links

{{include(RedmineTextFormattingRedmineLinks)}}

h3. 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
* *[](http://www.redmine.org)* -- External image with a title that links to an URL:

p=. !http://www.redmine.org/attachments/7069/Redmine_logo.png(Redmine web site)!:http://www.redmine.org

h3. 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":mailto:someone@foo.bar

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":mailto:webmaster@foo.bar?cc=admin@foo.bar
* *[Email someone for help](mailto:someone@foo.bar?subject=Website%20Help)* -- Email link with the subject "Website Help": "Email someone for help":mailto:someone@foo.bar?subject=Website%20Help
* *[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":mailto:someone@foo.bar?subject=Website%20Help&body=My%20problem%20is%20

h2. Text formatting

For things such as headlines, bold, tables, lists, Redmine supports "Markdown syntax":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown. 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":http://pandoc.org. The "Redcarpet formatter":https://github.com/alminium/redmine_redcarpet_formatter is used.

**Note:** HTML tags need to be allowed to use the HTML tag (<span>). See #15520-16 and #15520-17 for details.

h3. 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
* *[](URL)* *&amp;#33;image_url&amp;#33;: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: **. *&amp;#33;attached_image.png&amp;#33;*

As of this writing, Markdown has no syntax for specifying the dimensions of an image; if this is important to you, 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 also apply a CSS style to be allowed the image in the same ways as styling SPANs. The code *&amp;#33;{width: 100%}attached_image.png&amp;#33;* will make the image adjusts to use the HTML tag (<img>). See #15520-16 and #15520-17 for details.

parent&#x27;s width.

h3. Headings

<pre><code># Heading

## Subheading

### Subheading

or

Heading
=======

Subheading
----------
</code></pre>

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

h3. Paragraphs

Markdown does not support alignment of a paragraph. Use &lt;div> tags if you need it.

<pre><code>left aligned
<div style="padding-left:1em;">
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;p. 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></code></pre>

displays;

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.
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

**Note:** HTML tags need to be allowed to use the HTML tags (<div>). See #15520-16 and #15520-17 for details.

</pre>

h3. Unordered lists

Unordered lists use asterisks (@*@), pluses (@+@), and hyphens (@-@) as list markers

<pre>
* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 21 (two spaces indentation)
* Item 22
* Item 3
</pre>

|_.UserID |_.Name |_.Group |_. attribute list |
|Starting with | a table. Use an HTML table to write a table.

<pre><code><table>
<tr><td style="text-align:center;"><strong>UserID</strong></td><td style="text-align:center;"><strong>Name</strong></td><td style="text-align:center;"><strong>Group</strong></td><td style="text-align:center;"><strong>attribute list</strong></td></tr>

**Note:** HTML tags If you want to include pipe characters inside your table (e.g. for Wiki links), you need to be allowed to use the HTML tags (<table>, <tr>, <td>). See #15520-16 and #15520-17 for details. prevent textile from interpreting them:

|_.Input |_. Output|
|*&lt;notextile&gt;&lt;notextile&gt;|&lt;/notextile&gt;&lt;/notextile&gt;*|&lt;notextile&gt;|&lt;/notextile&gt;|

h3. Table of content

<pre><code>{{toc}} => left aligned toc
{{>toc}} => right aligned toc
</code></pre>

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:

<pre><code>h1. &lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;
h1. headLineOne

h2. something

{{toc}}

h2. something more
</code></pre>

h2. 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:

{{macro_list}}

h2. Code highlighting

Code highlighting relies on "CodeRay":http://coderay.rubychan.de/, 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>``` ruby
Place your code here.
```</code></pre>

Example:

<pre><code class="ruby">
# The Greeter class
class Greeter
def initialize(name)
@name = name.capitalize
end

def salute
puts "Hello #{@name}!"
end
end
</code></pre>

h2. Textile formatting

Redmine supports textile formatting. For details see &quot;Textile syntax&quot;:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_%28markup_language%29

Additional supported textiles:
* *&lt;notextile&gt;%&lt;/notextile&gt;{background:lightgreen}Green Background%* displays %{background:lightgreen}Green Background%
