What is the markdown syntax for users?

Jose Caballero Bejar

Hi,

this is my first post here. I hope I am not asking anything too stupid

I write a lot of draft notes in pure ascii, with certain syntax like # and ## to titles, or - for bullet lists. Then, a straight copy & paste into Confluence works, and everything is converted with the right layout.

But I cannot figure out how to do it for the usernames, e.g. @neo Matrix. It just get copied as text, no link to the user's profile.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Cheers,

Jose

Hi @Jose Caballero Bejar

Welcome to the community

The markdown syntax for a user is: [~username]

See all Confluence Cloud markdown options here.

Hi @Marc -Devoteam-

Thanks a lot for the prompt response. However, I am not sure how to do it. If I just try with [~Jose Caballero Bejar] is doesn't get converted into @Jose Caballero Bejar

I have also tried with my user id [~610bbda1ecaaaaaaaaaaa] but no luck either.

What am I missing here?

Many of the things in that documentation https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-confluence-wiki-markup/ don't seem to get converted automagicallly into Confluence style. They just get copied verbatim.

Cheers,

Jose

@Jose Caballero Bejar are you using Legacy editor or a third-party app to add wiki markup? if not then I am afraid the new editor doesn’t support markup.

Jose Caballero Bejar

Not sure about the Legacy editor. How do I find out? But I guess the answer is no. We use the Cloud one, if that answer the question.

And I am not aware of any app being installed for our instance.

@Jose Caballero Bejar and what happens if you add [~accountid:610bbda1ecaaaaaaaaaaa] instead?
