Global Markup makes your text look dynamic and professional. Use Global Markups in tools that accept text input (Messages, Wikis, Tickets, and Stand Up Reports). It allows you to create hyperlinks to other objects such as tickets, Wiki files, files, revisions, or users, and allows you to insert images and URLs.
​

Notes:

  • You can use a page name in a URL. Substitute an underscore (_) in place of any spaces. E.g. Wiki page becomes Wiki_page.

  • You can create page names and links with CamelCase. This assumes any word with two or more uppercase characters separated by lowercase characters is a page link.

  • You can use CamelCase without linking to any page, in that case, use the ! sign in front of CamelCase word. E.g. !CamelCase
