This page describes the Bookmarks Macro, provided by the Social Bookmarking plugin. Please refer to Working with Bookmarks for details of how to add, view and subscribe to bookmarks.

Use the bookmarks macro to include a list of bookmarks on a Confluence page. By default, the macro will display the bookmarks saved in the current space. The bookmarks macro renders information as shown in the screenshot below.

Parameters

Parameters are settings for Confluence macros that allow the user to control their content or presentation. The table below lists relevant parameters for this macro.

Parameter names are displayed differently in the macro browser interface and in wiki markup. Below, parameter names used in the macro browser are indicated in Bold text, while their equivalents in wiki markup are indicated in (bracketed) text. If the latter is not shown, then in wiki markup, the parameter's name should be omitted and only its value should be added immediately after the colon symbol (:).
