Building your first plugin
When you have installed the Atlassian SDK, you can start building your first plugin.
We will be building a new Confluence macro, which can be used to format content.
We will take a look at:
• The macro interface, which is the base of all macros
• The
xhtml-macro
module
• Adding resources, such as a stylesheet, to your plugin
We will be building a macro that displays links as buttons.
