Redmine Syntax
Links¶
Redmine links¶
Redmine allows hyperlinking between resources (wiki pages, issues, documents...) from anywhere text formatting is used.
![Markdown Redmine Markdown Redmine](/uploads/1/1/9/5/119550522/408365525.png)
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 different text: User manual
- [[Guide#User-guide|User guide]] displays a link to the header on the same page with different text: User guide
You can also link to pages of another project's wiki (using the project identifier):
- [[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:
- Issues:
- #124 (link to an issue: displays #124, link is striked-through if the issue is closed)

Escaping:
- You can prevent Redmine links from being parsed by preceding them with an exclamation mark: !
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
- [![Redmine web site](http://www.redmine.org/attachments/7069/Redmine_logo.png)](http://www.redmine.org) -- External image with a title that links to an URL:
Email addresses¶
Email addresses are automatically turned into clickable links:
- [email protected] -- Link to an email address: [email protected]
- [Email someone](mailto:[email protected]) -- Email link with different text: Email someone
- [Email webmaster and admin](mailto:[email protected][email protected]) -- Email to webmaster, CC admin: Email webmaster and admin
- [Email someone for help](mailto:[email protected]?subject=Website%20Help) -- Email link with the subject 'Website Help': Email someone for help
- [Email someone for help](mailto:[email protected]?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.
Acronym¶
Not supported by Markdown
Font style¶
displays:
- boldbold
- italicitalic

- Escaping: **bold** _italic_ `inlinemono`
Note: HTML tags need to be allowed to use the HTML tags (<strong>, <em>, <ins>, <del>, <sup>, <sub>). See #15520-16 and #15520-17 for details.

Inline images¶
- ![](image_url) displays an image located at image_url (textile syntax)
- ![alt text](image_url 'optional title') displays an image with an alt/title attribute
- [![](image_url)](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: ![](attached_image.png).
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 src='URL'/>
- <img src='attached_image.png'/>
![Redmine markdown syntax Redmine markdown syntax](https://redmineplugins.cn/attachments/download/246/mermaid样图.png)
Note: HTML tags need to be allowed to use the HTML tag (<img>). See #15520-16 and #15520-17 for details.
Headings¶
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.
displays;
left aligned
left ident 1em
left ident 2em
as well as for following lines
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.

Preformatted Text¶

Blockquotes¶
You can use > at the beginning of each line and stack them for nested quotes:
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 markersdisplays:
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 21
- Item 22
- Item 3
Ordered lists¶
Ordered lists use numbers followed by periods.
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.
Tables¶
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¶
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:
Footnotes¶
A footnote works very much like a reference-style link: it consists of a marker next to the text, e.g. and a footnote definition on its own line anywhere within the document, e.g.
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_world
Redmine Text Color
Sample macro.
macro_list
Displays a list of all available macros, including description if available.
child_pages
Displays a list of child pages. With no argument, it displays the child pages of the current wiki page. Examples:

thumbnail
Displays a clickable thumbnail of an attached image. Examples:
sample_macro

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:
