This quick-reference guide is for people who regularly used the wiki markup editor in earlier versions of Confluence. It shows you how to use the new editor to do the things you have always done. And more. The editor offers a number of options in the toolbar. But did you know...? - You can use autocomplete and autoformatting shortcuts instead of the toolbar.
- The trigger characters for autocomplete and autoformatting are derived from wiki markup.
- You can add macros, links and images by typing the entire wiki markup element. As soon as you close the macro, link, or image, Confluence will convert it to rich text format and add it to the page.
