Description

The Cite Macro helps to render cites of resources in a standard manner. While it is easy within the Confluence wiki to add references to pages, a cite asks for more. You may want to add the title of a book, the authors and the page.

This is the template used by the macro to render cites:

  $[Name] (${Authors}, ${page})

Properties

Document

The Resource document to reference. Leave blank, if the citation refers to current resource document.

Template

The template to render the values. If you do not specify a page (refer to 'Source Page'), remove the page from the template.

This is the format of the template:

  $[Name] (${Authors}, ${page})

Source Page

The page within the resource the citation points to. Usually this takes the form

  • p. 42
  • p. 23f
  • p. 23ff
  • p. 23-42.

Default Value

The default value to render, if the template resolves to a blank value.

Usually the default is a blank value. Set it to a non-blank to make sure that a template resolving to nothing is rendered with an alert message.
