For other macros, besides that of the source code macro discussed below, please visit The Guide to Confluence Macros.
The source code macro is a useful way of presenting technical information to a group of users online. It's use is very straightforward. Any form of code can be included between {code} elements and we provide arguments for XML, SQL, and Java. As you read below, look for the bolded code tags to indicate how the highlighting occurs.
XML
\{code:XML\} <test> <another tag="attribute"/> </test> \{code\}
gives
<test> <another tag="attribute"/> </test>
SQL
\{code:SQL\} SELECT * FROM TABLE1 WHERE ID=0 AND NAME NOT IN (SELECT NAME FROM NAMES) \{code\}
SELECT * FROM TABLE1 WHERE ID=0 AND NAME NOT IN (SELECT NAME FROM NAMES)
Java
\{code:Java\} package com.atlassian.confluence.admin.actions.macros; import com.atlassian.confluence.renderer.UserMacroLibrary; public class UserMacroBean { String name; String template; public UserMacroBean() { } public UserMacroBean(String name, UserMacroLibrary userMacroLibrary) { this.name = name; this.template = userMacroLibrary.getMacroTemplate(name); } public String getName() { return name; } public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } public String getTemplate() { return template; } public void setTemplate(String template) { this.template = template; } } \{code\}
gives
package com.atlassian.confluence.admin.actions.macros; import com.atlassian.confluence.renderer.UserMacroLibrary; public class UserMacroBean { String name; String template; public UserMacroBean() { } public UserMacroBean(String name, UserMacroLibrary userMacroLibrary) { this.name = name; this.template = userMacroLibrary.getMacroTemplate(name); } public String getName() { return name; } public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } public String getTemplate() { return template; } public void setTemplate(String template) { this.template = template; } }
