The column macro allows you to define a set of columns across a page.

A set of columns must be defined within a vertical 'section' of a page. Hence, to display a set of columns correctly across a page, each column in the set must be inserted within a single pair of section macro elements. Furthermore, each column in the set is defined as a pair of column macro elements.

Once you have defined your set of columns within a pair of section macro elements, you can add content to each column by inserting your content within the body of each pair of column macro elements.

The following example in Wiki Markup, shows a set of two columns defined across a section of a page,

{section:border=true}
{column}The content of column one is entered within the body of the first set of column elements here.
{column}
{column}The content of column two is entered within the body of the second set of column elements here.
{column}
{section}

which renders on the page like this:

The content of column one is entered within the body of the first set of column elements here.

The content of column two is entered within the body of the second set of column elements here.

Usage with the Macro Browser

To insert the column macro into a page using the Macro Browser,

  1. Open your desired Confluence page, then click the 'Edit' button. The 'Edit Page' mode opens.
  2. Next, click the Macro Browser icon on the editor toolbar. The Macro Browser will open in the middle of the screen.
  3. In the Macro Browser, type the name of your desired macro into the search box at the top right of the window. Macros with a matching name will appear in the centre pane. Click on the desired macro to see its options screen. Here, you can set the macro parameters then click 'insert' to put the macro into the page.

Once you've found the column macro, click 'insert' to add it to your page.

(warning) One or more column macros must be inserted within a section macro to be displayed correctly on a page.

パラメーター

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.

(info) 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 (:).
