So to do this, I put in a second section with the content I want to be aligned starting on that new section. However, I wanted to ensure that the second section in each column, “Skills” and “Blog” were aligned. Here, I wanted a two-column approach for the whole document. This arrangement can add a more dynamic look to your document, one I enjoy.Īnother use for sections is to align different elements vertically. This will open up some tools for you to use.īut wait, there’s more! Using different layouts as you go down the document can let you include sections for a picture and vary where that picture is. To display this sub-toolbar, you need to click the “Page Layout” button on your Confluence Toolbar – as shown below. Page Layouts lets you set up how different elements are spaced amongst each other and is one of the most underutilized formatting options. So I figured it’s about time I spread my wings a bit and show you that this Jira Guy can also work Confluence! Page Layouts Having worked in Confluence for many years, I have picked up a few tricks to help my documents stand out. At that time, I didn’t expect this side project to become anything, and I didn’t want to spend too much effort on keeping it running. However, I decided against that – mainly because I run websites for a living. Honestly, when I initially set up The Jira Guy, I debated running it on Confluence. While not as flexible as something like a word processor, it still gives me enough flexibility to create some really outstanding Documents and Blog posts. All that being said, one of my favorite editors to work in has to be Jira’s sister product, Confluence. Before that, I ran MediaWiki and PhpBB (versions 2 and 3…was in that game for a LOOONG time). powers this site, and learning to use its text editor has been…interesting. So, it’s no secret that I deal with more than a few systems whose primary purpose boils down to “Display text.” The obvious example that should come to mind is this very thing you’re reading right now.
