Or you can create a very simple user macro to do the same thing, allowing you to generate a more complex HTML structure if you need it.

I assume you want this on a case by case basis (global/space just requires updating the CSS). Create a user macro that wraps the body with a classed div tag. <div class="noborder">$body</div> Update your global/space CSS with .noborder table { border: none;} Then you insert the table inside this new user macro on a page.…

That is basically what I am saying. Just keep in mind, this is Confluence, so there are many parts of the menu you just don't have access to, or are not documented. So be prepared for some experimentation!

Possible? Yes. Easy? No. Confluence uses a version of TinyMCE, so it is possible to write a plugin for TinyMCE to add styles (basically adding references to classed HTML tags). The second part of the solution is easy – adding custom CSS to Confluence. The workaround is user macros. Not as elegant, but does get the job…

Well the question is about a page. If you only want to make individual pages public, you have to make the entire space viewable by Anonymous access; then restrict the access for pages you don't want people to see (a real pain). So the easiest is to just create a public space viewable by all to hold those pages.

Just another reason I don't believe in heading numbering - so 90s I would suggest going to the commercial PDF plugin from Scroll (K15t). There export engine goes through a hierarchy leveling process as it processes child pages. And getting numbered headings out is fairly straightforward. Yes it costs money, but it will…

Yes, the idea with CSS is you can control the look and feel of all tags with the same class/Id throughout the space or site with a few lines of code. Once you update the CSS all pages with images will have the padding apply. No manual editing required. Or if later, management decides they want more or less spacing, you can…

I wanted to answer early, but not enough points. This type of spacing is best controlled via CSS. You can customize the CSS for Confluence either site-wide or at the space level. https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/styling-confluence-with-css-166528400.html and…

Not exactly what you are trying to do. Do you just want all images to have an additional 43px of space above?

Or if you are wanting to have the same page appear in two locations, you can use the include-page-macro to have it appear as a child page in one place, but then not have to move the original page.

If some of your source in Confluence was pasted from another HTML source, you could have unwanted classes and span tags. As a test, highlight one of the offending headings and clear the formatting, apply paragraph, then the heading format again, and try. If it clears your problem, then that is the issue. At that point, you…

Well I think you best bet is to see if the macro vendor will expose the java objects so that you can write your own macro using Velocity. If they will do that, then you have a chance as you can check the content to then set a class on a table cell that can then be styled with CSS. Otherwise, my feeling is that it is not…

Generally the quick answer to something like this is to use CSS, but you cannot write a rule based on content, you need there to be some specific class or ID on the cell. The next answer might be Javascript, but that would help with keyword highlighting, maybe it could format a parent tag based on content?. Bottom line, my…

Just to confirm Sandy's answer, soft returns are the only way I know of to handle this. I tried hard-coding the starting number in the page source, but that information is stripped when the page is saved. You might be able to reset the numbering with a user macro.

Speaking as a tech writer, numbered headings are so 80s! I don't think they make sense in a Wiki and in the age of hyperlinking and full-text search. They were a method of easy reference for print documents before desktop publishing was commonplace. And trying to reproduce them in Confluence requires some workarounds, and…

You have two possible solutions: * Use a soft return for the additional content between numbers (shift+return). Hard at the end to start the next list item. * Or install the source editor plugin and edit the list tags there (basically wrap all the content for one list item in * tags and delete the </il> tags between the…

Are you on the cloud or server edition? The docs say "Space Admin and System Administrator access to restricted pages Users with 'Admin' permissions in a space, or users with the System Administrator global permission can remove restrictions from pages, even if the page restriction prevents them from viewing the page. Go…

Check the permissions tab under space tools to see if you have a green check mark under Restrictions. If you don't then, you may need a member of confluence-admin to enable it.

You have rights to edit the page rights, not the page itself. So you have to edit the page restrictions first, then you can edit. Go to space tools to view the restricted pages, and change from there (Space Tools -> Page Restrictions). There you will see a list and a note: Restricted pages are those that have had either…

Yes that is the only way it CAN work. Otherwise, each user who needs to view, would require a login and consume a license (unless you go to a one group login with limited access – a solution, but not a great solution). As long as your Confluence server is behind a firewall, anon access is then limited to those users…

Yes, that is what I am saying, The group of users who are SharePoint authorized but not Confluence users can view pages as anonymous (no login), but you need to enable view rights for anonymous users. You can allow anonymous users to add comments to Confluence pages, but then you have no idea who made a comment.

Well as long as Confluence is configure to allow anon viewing, then any content that is imported into Confluence via a connector would be visible. Basically, the connector retrieves and displays the content on the page. View rights to that page are set within Confluence.

How do you plan to embedded Confluence content into Sharepoint?

Yes, it has worked for quite sometime. I have used the since late 4.x to hold tables, figures, etc.

Are the details on the new table options published some place?

I'm with @Nic Brough [Adaptavist] on this. Trying to use Confluence to deliver documentation in PDF only is a bit of a square peg in a round hole. You can do it, but it is going to take a lot of banging, and may not be very pretty.

Well it already auto generates a ToC, both in the left-hand side and on the page with ToC macro (and can be saved in a template for user use). Numbering I disagree with – so 1990s. Numbering really has no meaning with online documentation. If you want numbering in print, you can do that with Scroll PDF (and some CSS). You…

Having been a confluence admin for the past 5 years but also a tech writer using Confluence to develop customer documentation, it is a feature not a bug that the formatting is controlled via CSS. How else can you control the look and feel to match corporate style/brand standards? And if management tells me tomorrow "Comic…

So you are discounting custom CSS to address many of these issues, either site-wide or space level? As a tech writer, I want to control the look and feel for the entire site, and not end up with a hodge-podge of users styles. Many of these items I set with CSS or a combination of user macro and CSS. Just asking for another…

Yeah, I missed the cloud part. So the alternate solution would be to have one user account for general access by all those who do not need edit rights (restrict that user rights to view only), then you have 9 user slots for those who need more access. This approach will require all to log in, keep anonymous users out, and…
