projectdoc Toolbox

Authors may add any metadata to a document and use these in their queries. The metadata may be displayed or hidden. This way authors can use metadata target at the reader and metadata used for authoring purpose.

The metadata for a document is specified by the use of the Document Properties Marker Macro. Each piece of metadata is called a document property, consisting of a name, a value, and document property controls.

The metadata can be used by query macros like the Display Table Macro or the Transclude Documents Macro to select on projectdoc Documents.

Properties can also be transcluded by the use of the for instance by the Display Document Property Macro and Display Document Properties Macro.

Resources

More information on this feature.

Document Properties Marker Macro
A table containing document properties. Three columns: name, value and meta data (aka controls) to a property.
projectdoc Document
projectdoc is based on projectdoc documents. Creating a projectdoc document is easy: A projectdoc document is a Confluence page using document properties and sections.
Document Property
Document the usage of a document property for your users.
Document Property Controls
Lists valid controls for properties to be used in document properties tables.
Dynamic Linking
A document template that uses query macros enables documents to dynamically render links to a set of related documents. If new documents are added to the system that meet the query criteria, links to these documents are automatically added to the querying document. This feature is also called dynamic lists or automatic linking.
Transclusion
The technique to render parts of one document within another document.
Display Document Property Macro
Renders the value of a property of a document.
Display Document Properties Macro
Renders a template with property references.

More Features

List of features of the projectdoc Toolbox for Confluence.

Deep Links
With deep links properties from referenced properties can be accessed for rendering.
Default Locations
Document types have their default location within a documentation space. These default locations are called 'homepages'. If authors create new documents they can send them to these default locations within a given space. Delegate spaces expand this feature to find the default location in associated spaces.
Delegate Document
Delegating documents transclude sections and properties from a delegate document. Information may be overridden.
Document Types
Document types allow to guide authors producing information of a given type. They also help readers to find the information they are looking for quickly.
Dynamic Linking
A document template that uses query macros enables documents to dynamically render links to a set of related documents. If new documents are added to the system that meet the query criteria, links to these documents are automatically added to the querying document. This feature is also called dynamic lists or automatic linking.
Enhanced Transclusion
Transclude more than one self-contained snippet and mark transcluded information for authors. The projectdoc toolbox allows multi-transclusion from one document and even several documents.
Extensible by Spaces, Templates, and Macros
Never be limited to the vendor's ideas: Create your own spaces, templates/blueprints/doctypes and macros based on components provided by the projectdoc Toolbox!
Guided Writing & clutter-free Reading
Do not clutter the view with non-information sections. Instead help authors writing identical structured content by the use of templates.
Information Systems Integration
Via a free extension information from remote information systems may be rendered on a wiki page.
Live Templates / Impersonator
Use the structure from a page and render it in the current page's context.
Remote Control
The projectdoc Toolbox supports rendering a page controlled by request properties. This way a URL controls the contents of a page.
Single Sourcing
The projectdoc Toolbox provides doctypes and macros to support teams to modularize their documentation.
Space Hierarchies
Organize spaces in hierachies with delegate and search spaces.
Space Properties
Properties may be set on space level and are inherited through space hierarchies.
Variables
Space and document properties may be used as variables with the projectdoc Toolbox.
Web API
To integrate projectdoc documents with remote systems the projectdoc Toolbox provides a REST API. This API is installed separately with a free extension add-on.
