Outlining in Confluence

Faina Dsouza_8bvq0e

I have a block of existing text that I'd like to organize into an outline. Looking at my Confluence formatting toolbar I see something labelled "Numbered Headings" but I can't figure out how that creates an outline or applies it to existing texts.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

What do you mean by "outline"? I've heard different people use it to describe different things.

The one I'd usually head for in Confluence is a "table of contents" - there's a simple macro in there that reads the headings in a page and turns them into a table of content, indented by level of heading. You can configure it more cleverly, to only go down to a certain heading level for example.

The numbered heading macro won't help you with a table of content, it just numbers the various headings.

Would a table-of-content style thing do the sort of outline you are looking for?

Thanks for this article. From the article, I figured it out.

For anyone else who's having trouble here's what I discovered. First make sure that "Numbered Heading" is enabled. There should be a button for this in the formatting toolbar.

Next highlight text where you want to assign an outline level. Press ctrl+1 (or cmd+1 on mac) to assign it to outline level 1, ctrl+2 to assign to level 2, etc. Press ctrl+0 to assign to regular text.

I haven't yet figured out how to change indentation based on outline/heading level. If anyone knows, please share that knowledge.
