A projectdoc document defines properties and sections. The projectdoc document is the base for most of the macros in the projectdoc Toolbox. Image Added

Properties are data and meta data of a document that teams define in tables with the Document Properties Marker Macro and the Document Properties Supplier Macro. This information is transcluded with the Display Document Property Macro and its cousins.

Sections define text to be transcluded by the Section Macro. Sections may have titles. Authors needing to refer to a chunk of content that is not a section use the Content Marker Macro. Content is transcluded by the use of the Transclusion Macro, the Transclude Documents Macro, and some related macros.

Since version 1.11 of the projectdoc Toolbox neither the transcluding document nor the document transcluded from is required to be a projectdoc document.


Note Box
titleCompare to Confluence Macros

Confluence provides macros that work similar. Here is a short line-up including macros dealing with properties and sections.

While the Confluence macros are easier to use, the macros of the projectdoc Toolbox provide some additional features to make team collaboration and communication a lot easier.

For more information on this topic, please refer to Compare with built-in Features.



Tip Box
titleTip for an easy Start

To get started with projectdoc we recommend to use the projectdoc Blank Document for your experiments. It provides the basic structure of a projectdoc document with properties and sections.

For more advanced use cases consider to install one or more of the projectdoc doctype add-ons (especially the Core Doctypes). Install the doctype add-ons from the Atlassian Marketplace for free. They are also available on Bitbucket for customization.
