Style Macros

On the Styles tab, you can define how specific macros will be formatted in your exports. 

Apply Macro Styles 

In the Macros section of the template editor panel, you can define the default styling for macros on your pages. Styles can be applied to the following macros: 

  • Info, Tip, Note, & Warning / Error

  • Panel & Custom Panel (cloud only)

  • Status

  • Code Block

  • Scroll Title (Table Captions, Figure Captions, Code Block Captions, Equation Captions)

  • Jira Issue

  • Horizontal Rule

  • @mentions

When you export Confluence content, it will be styled in accordance with the styles configured on this screen. For example, if you change the border color to blue for the Info macro, all the corresponding Info macros will have a blue border when exported from Confluence:

The inbuilt template editor contains a Preview section which offers a live view for your chosen styling choices – these automatically appear as you make edits.
