Macro keyboard shortcut
When you are more familiar with the available macros in Confluence, you can also
use the keyboard shortcut to add those macros to your page.
Type
{
to start the macro autocompletion. Continue to type the name of the macro
you are looking for, and the suggestions will be updated. Select the macro you are
looking for, and it will be added to your page.
Panels
I already used the Panel macro to explain the macro browser, but it is worth
mentioning again. The Panel macro is one of the macros I use the most. Panel
macros are very useful for separating content, adding a bit of styling to your page,
or to highlight a piece of content.
Page layouts and sections
When we want to add structure to our page, it's most common to split the
information into columns. An example I often use is for adding event information
in Confluence. On the left side I add the event information, and on the right I add
an RSVP.
Confluence offers two ways to add structure to your page:
•
Page Layouts
, which are predefined columns and sections.
• The
Section
and
Column
macros that allow more flexibility but are more
difficult to use than Page Layouts. You can set the width of the columns,
and add as many sections and columns you need on your page.
