Auto-Generating a Table of Contents for Page ContentIt is important to make it easy for viewers to jump to the section of a Confluence page that they are most interested in. The Table of Contents macro helps you navigate lengthy pages by summarising the content structure and providing links to headings used on the page. Headings are indented progressively. Drawing Attention to Elements of a PageOften when creating documentation there are elements of a page that you want to highlight, or draw the the viewers attention to. Confluence ships with the following macros that help you focus a viewer's attention to a note, information, tip or warning. Putting Content inside Customisable PanelsThe Panel macro allows you to place content inside a customisable coloured panel. This is particularly useful when you want to clearly separate elements on a page. Inserting Anchor Links on PagesAnchor links can be especially useful when navigating between sections of a long document or when you want to link to a segment of a page from another page. The Anchor macro allows you to link to specific parts of a page. Structuring Content using Sections and ColumnsSometimes it is necessary to structure content into sections and columns.
Making your Documentation more Engaging by Embedding VideosPictures can be worth a thousand words. The same can be said for videos. Often, it's easy to explain a concept or demonstrate a procedure using a video. The Widget macro allows you to embed web content, including YouTube, Episodic and Vimeo videos, in a Confluence page.
