Confluence Docs 3.0 : Panel Macro This page last changed on Jun 03, 2009 by ggaskell. The Panel Macro allows you to display a block of text within a customisable panel. Once the Panel macro has been inserted on a page, you can only edit its parameters in Wiki Markup mode.

## Parameters 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. 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 (`:`).
