Layout Macros
Usage: |
{section} {column:width=30%}content{column} {column:width=70%}content{column} {section} |
Description: |
Allows display content in multiple columns. |
Example: |
|
Input: |
Any wiki content within columns |
Output: |
A column display of that content. |
Bundled with Confluence?: |
Yes |
Layout macros allow you to define a {section} of the page that is divided into multiple {column}'s.
You must always define {column}s inside a {section}, or the macro will not work.
Optional parameters for the {section} macro:
- border – use {section:border=true} to draw the columns with borders around them. The default is no border.
Option parameters for the {column} macro:
- width – use the width parameter to determine how wide each column should be. By default, the columns are automatically resized to fit their contents.
Example:
Produces:
This is some Wiki Markup
|
This is some more wiki markup
|
And the same with {section:border=true}
This is some Wiki Markup
|
This is some more wiki markup
|
I see no borders

I don't know about anyone else, but borders are not workig on the Section macro when using Confluence 1.4.1 - which version was that feature added in?

It works in 1.4.3 so it must have been added in 1.4.3 or 1.4.2 - anyone know which as I don't have a 1.4.2 to test on...

It seems that nesting of "section" macro is not allowed or recognized - "section" within another "section". Is that so? Is there any plan for supporting nesting?

Nestes sections are currently not supported. One of the reasons is that the syntax will simply become unreadable.
However, if you think this is a useful feature, please file a feature request on http://jira.atlassian.com.
Cheers,
Jens

It will be useful feature. I made some own macro to hande situation.
macro name |
macro has a body |
templace |
begincol |
- |
<table border=0 width=100%><td> |
newcol |
- |
</td><td> |
endcol |
- |
</td></table> |
With these three macros it is possible to make table as "nested columns" inside section. Code don't look nice as Jens told. Syntax easily become unreadable, but it works.
e.g.
{begincol}
h2. part one
{newcol}
h2. part two
{newcol}
h2. part three
{endcol}
