Textile: using code and footnotes

Question

Hi I'm using Redmine to write a wiki of my software. I need to put some notes next to a code section like this:

class.method()[1]

Where the "one" is a link to my note at the end of the page. I've tried to use any method defined in the Textile syntax but it seems that it doesn't work. In fact when you use the code tag '@ @' any other tag stops working.
It's good even if I can use the link tag [[ ]] but only if it is like this google.com

Thanks for any help,

Alessandro

Answer 1

Redmine uses Coderay to parse the code sections in the Wiki. Take a look at the documentation for the different languages. Otherwise I would suggest using comments instead of footnotes or in worst case line references to the code.

Answer 2

The footnote will only work if there is an alphanumeric character directly before the opening square bracktet:

this[1], whereas this()[2] or this [3]

fn1. will work

fn2. won't work.

fn3. won't work.

At least this is true with Redmine 3.1. See this issue for more information.

Note that you need blank lines between fn1., fn2. and fn3. to get a correct rendering.

Answer 3

This extension for Redmine supports footnotes and custom styles in the wiki.

Answer 4

Redmine supports Textile markup syntax. Textile has support for footnotes. As noted on ticket ticket #974, this is the syntax for using footnotes in Redmine:

    Text with a footnote[1]

    fn1. and here the actual footnote.
