Today we released version 2.3.0 of the projectdoc Toolbox on the Atlassian Marketplace!

This release provides some new features and fixes some issues.

The projectdoc Toolbox is an add-on for Confluence supporting agile software development teams to collaborate on process, project, system, and product documentation. 

Release Notes Overview

 

New and Noteworthy

The following changes may be the most interesting of this release.

Template Support for Table Columns

This new version allows to specify a template for rendering a column with the Display Table Macro. Now you can render more than one property in a table cell using a template (like the one used by the Display Document Properties Macro).

Use Templates to render complex values in a column cell. The syntax to specify a template is

#COLUMN_NAME{TEMPLATE_SPECIFICATION}

The column name is the label to use for the column heading. It may be replaced using Header Translations.

The template specification uses placeholders to reference properties.

Example Template Specification

 
#My Label{${Doctype} / ${Iteration}}

The template will access the Doctype and Iteration property to render the specified string for each row in the given column.

Tool Support

This new feature is actually not directly relevant for users of the projectdoc Toolbox. It provides services to interface with the new tool model provided by the Doctypes Maven Plugin.

The new Core Doctypes provide a new version of the Documentation Dashboard takes advantage of this feature.

 

Please update Core Doctypes to version 11.0 for the new Documentation Dashboard!

Box Support for Transclusion

projectdoc boxes are now first-class citizens in respect to transclusion.

Every box provides its name (e.g. 'pending-box' for the Pending Box Macro) as a default tag.

Using the new Documentation Dashboard allows now to track boxes more conveniently.

Doctype Homepage Property

There is a new artificial property called 'Doctype Homepage' that is a link to the document's doctype homepage.

This feature was supported by the Display Table Macro by automatically rewriting the values in the Doctype column. The new approach is much cleaner and is supported by all macros.

Note, since this is a new artificial property, to have it provided by existing documents, a reindex is required. Otherwise only new and updated documents will provide this property.

Which artificial Properties are provided?

 

To list all properties of a projectdoc document, including the artificial properties, use the Display All Document Properties Macro. Or use a bookmarklet to render this information in a new window.

Upgrade Instructions

Install the new OBR of the projectdoc Toolbox.

To support the new artificial property Doctype Homepage, run a reindex. If you do not use this new property, a reindex is not required.

Updating the following doctype add-ons is recommended.
