The loss in productivity in going to rich text editing from Wiki Markup mode is simply not worth it for those of us who prefer to work in plain text and to rarely raise our hands from our keyboards to touch a pointing device. There's simply no comparison.\n\nStill don't understand why we completely lost Wiki Markup mode in the editor, but there seems to be an awful lot of cheerleading going on from the folks at Atlassian (just keep trying this New Coke! It's so much better than Coke Classic! Really it is!

I realize that you can change the default language setting, but we have Java, bash, XML, and PHP samples in roughly the same numbers, so changing the default wouldn't really make a difference.\n\nThe same goes for setting any non-default parameter for a macro; there's no longer any way to just type it in. You have to deal with the macro browser popup.\n\nAlso, for those of us used to just typing away in wiki syntax, if you don't select any options from the popup window that appears after typing an opening bracket, and you just keep typing, the new editor just sees the wiki markup as regular content and does not interpret it as a macro. So then I have to go back and delete that \"content\" and go through the whole popup window routine again just to set my code sample parameter. I go through all of this just to do something that used to take me just a couple of seconds in the Wiki Markup editor. And when you're doing it dozens or even hundreds of times a day, the frustration builds...\n\nBTW, I realize that I'm not a \"mainstream\" user and that those of us who prefer authoring and coding in plain text are in the minority, but surely there must be some way to accommodate those of us who simply don't want to work in a WYSIWYG editor. I have a feeling that I'm not the only one who feels left out in the cold on this one.\n\nAlso, thanks for the responses.

I've quoted his response below for your benefit.\n> I've noticed a recurring theme in this thread that people want to be able to set macro paramters without using a mouse. One of the macro autocomplete refinements we made over the many months of dogfooding within Atlassian was to only open the macro browser if you're inserting a macro with madatory properties. Otherwise, it just inserts the macro with the default parameters set - For many macros, you just want to use the defaults.\n>\n> But what we're hearing you say is that you do sometimes want to set optional macro parameters (e.g. code:language=bash) when using autocomplete. So one idea we have is to open the macro browser if you type a colon (':') while inserting a macro with autocomplete. This would signal that you want to set some paramaters.\n>\n> So in the {code:language=bash} example above you'd type \"{code:\" and then the macro browser would open with the first field of the code macro selected. You could then tab through to change your parmaters and hit ENTER at any point to insert the macro in the page all without using the mouse.\n>\n> Do foiks think this would solve some of the problems you're having?\n\nRE: the bug with autoformatting of bold underlined text, that is a known bug that we hope to fix soon.

But here's some information about where the pagetree gets its information, in case this helps.\n\nThe most likely cause of pages not appearing in the left-hand panel is that the pages in your space are not children of the space's home page. Perhaps when you imported the Word doc with \"Replace Home\", Confluence did not reset the space's home page setting. \n\nEach space has a single page designated as its \"Home\" page. The Documentation theme constructs the TOC from the pages that are child pages of the space's home page. If your pages are at the same level as (i.e. siblings of) the space home page, they will not appear in the left-hand navigation bar. \n\nMore background: The theme uses the {pagetree} macro to produce the table of contents on the left. When you use the {pagetree} macro on a page, you can choose the top page to be displayed. The Documentation Theme chooses the space home page as the top page. \n\nThe fix: If this is the cause, then there are two ways to fix the problem:\n\n* You can change the designated space home page for the space. You need space administrator permissions. Go to \"Space Admin\" and select \"Edit Space Details\".\n* Or you can drag and drop all your pages to make them children of the current home page. Go to \"Browse\", \"Pages\" and click the \"Tree\" option.\n\nI hope this helps!\n\nCheers\n\nSarah\n", "comments": null } ]

Hence, when this macro used on a page, all content on the referenced page will be shown.\n\nHowever, you could use the '[Excerpt Include](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Excerpt+Include+Macro)' macro as a workaround.

Team Calendars is staffed by a different team, meaning Confluence roadmap work continues to develop with no impact to the thousands of customers. \n\nHope this answers your question.

The bad thing was that it was never intended to be, so much so that Team Calendars is a completely new plugin- doesn't use the old code base etc..

Even scheduling Jira tasks, etc. should just hook into an external scheduling system, imo. Like I've said before, if anyone can do it, Atlassian can; if they want to run the calendaring services rather than just interact with them, that is their decision. But, if they do it, I think they should either (1) purchase an existing company like they did for Crowd, etc. that has a nice calendar server (and this probably isn't an option- just throwing it out there) or (2) just integrate with existing calendars via CalDAV and leave calendar support free in Confluence, Jira, etc. as part of the product that relies on connection with an external server (or servers).\n\nFor now though, if I were in a position where my company depended on Confluence's calendars, I'd bite the bullet for now and pay the additional cost, and then either transition to something else (Exchange, Oracle Calendar, etc.), or hang on and bask in the glory of whatever Atlassian comes up with (and I'm being serious- that isn't sarcasm).

Thanks Mick!)\n\nFirstly, put the create childs in a report to minimise when the report is run. This is set it up only to run within the first 60 seconds of the parent page being created. This ensures child pages that have been spawned can be deleted if required. If you don't have this restriction, then the child pages will continue to be spawned if they are not present.\n\nThen, the use of the replace and render function allows you to replace %title% with the name of the parent page.\n\nFinally, add a {create-child} macro (in a {replace} macro) to add a child page of the correct title.\n\nShould look like:\n\n```\n{report-block}{local-reporter:content:creation date}{date-filter:creation date|afterValue=-60s|format=hh:mm:ss dd MMM, yyyy}{local-reporter}{report-body}{replace-and-render} {replace-body}{create-child:%title% - Notes|parent=@self|template=Notes Page} {create-child:Grandchild Page -%title%|parent=Child Page -%title%|template=Blank }{replace-body} {replace-item:%title%} {report-info:report:root content &gt; page:title}{replace-item} {replace-and-render}{report-body}{report-block}\n```\n\nAnd:\n\n```\n{replace-and-render} {replace-body}{create-child:Child Page -%title%|parent=@self|template=Blank } {create-child:Grandchild %title% - Notes|parent=Child Page -%title%| }{replace-body} {replace-item:%title%} {report-info:report:root content &gt; page:title}{replace-item} {replace-and-render}\n```\n\nThe next thing I have to work out is how to automatically pre-fill the notes page (either with a template or without) in order that It renders content as soon as the main page template is saved. At the moment, it shows the pink 'macro error' lines of text where the child pages should render, which is not fixed until they are opened, edited and saved (which completes the parent page).\n\nAny answers to that last piece of the jigsaw? \n", "comments": null } ]
