v2 v3 1 = Trac Links = 1 = Trac Links 2 2 3 [[TracGuideToc]] 3 4 TracLinks are a fundamental feature of Trac, because they allow easy hyperlinking between the various entities in the system—such as tickets, reports, changesets, Wiki pages, milestones, and source files—from anywhere WikiFormatting is used. 5 6 TracLinks are generally of the form '''type:id''' (where ''id'' represents the 7 number, name or path of the item) though some frequently used kinds of items 8 also have short-hand notations. 9 10 == Where to use TracLinks == 4 [[PageOutline(2-5,Contents,pullout)]] 5 6 TracLinks

idea, but actually allow quite a complex network of information. In practice, it's very intuitive and simple to use, and we've found the "link trail" extremely helpful to better understand what's happening in a project or why a particular change was made. 81 104 82 83 == Advanced use of TracLinks == 84 85 === Relative links === 105 == Advanced use of TracLinks 106 107 === Relative links 108 109 To create a link to a [trac:SubWiki SubWiki]-page just use a '/': 110 {{{ 111 WikiPage/SubWikiPage or ./SubWikiPage 112 }}} 113 114 To link from a [trac:SubWiki SubWiki] page to a parent, simply use a '..': 115 {{{ 116 [..] or [[..]] 117 }}} 118 [..] or [[..]] 119 120 To link from a [trac:SubWiki SubWiki] page to a [=#sibling sibling] page, use a '../': 121 {{{ 122 [../Sibling see next sibling] or [[../Sibling|see next sibling]] 123 }}} 124 [../Sibling see next sibling] or [[../Sibling|see next sibling]] 125 126 But in practice you often won't need to add the `../` prefix to link to a sibling page. 127 For resolving the location of a wiki link, it's the target page closest in the hierarchy to the page where the link is written which will be selected. So for example, within a sub-hierarchy, a sibling page will be targeted in preference to a toplevel page. 128 This makes it easy to copy or move pages to a sub-hierarchy by [[WikiNewPage#renaming|renaming]] without having to adapt the links. 129 130 To link explicitly to a [=#toplevel toplevel] Wiki page, use the `wiki:/` prefix. Be careful **not** to use the `/` prefix alone, as this corresponds to the [#Server-relativelinks] syntax and with such a link you will lack the `/wiki/` part in the resulting URL. A link such as `[../newticket]` will stay in the wiki namespace and therefore link to a sibling page. 131 132 === Link anchors 86 133 87 134 To create a link to a specific anchor in a page, use '#': 88 135 {{{ 89 [#Relativelinks relative links] 90 }}} 91 Displays: 92 [#Relativelinks relative links] 136 [#Linkanchors Link anchors] or [[#Linkanchors|Link anchors]] 137 }}} 138 [#Linkanchors Link anchors] or [[#Linkanchors|Link anchors]] 93 139 94 140 Hint: when you move your mouse over the title of a section, a '¶' character will be displayed. This is a link to that specific section and you can use this to copy the `#...` part inside a relative link to an anchor. 95 141 96 To create a link to a [trac:SubWiki SubWiki]-page just use a '/': 97 {{{ 98 WikiPage/SubWikiPage or ./SubWikiPage 99 }}} 100 101 To link from a [trac:SubWiki SubWiki] page to a parent, simply use a '..': 102 {{{ 103 [..] 104 }}} 105 106 To link from a [trac:SubWiki SubWiki] page to a sibling page, use a '../': 107 {{{ 108 [../Sibling see next sibling] 109 }}} 110 111 ''(Changed in 0.11)'' Note that in Trac 0.10, using e.g. `[../newticket]` may have worked for linking to the /newticket top-level URL, but now in 0.11 it will stay in the wiki namespace and link to a sibling page. See [#Server-relativelinks] for the new syntax. 112 113 === InterWiki links === 114 115 Other prefixes can be defined freely and made to point to resources in other Web applications. The definition of those prefixes as well as the URLs of the corresponding Web applications is defined in a special Wiki page, the InterMapTxt page. Note that while this could be used to create links to other Trac environments, there's a more specialized way to register other Trac environments which offers greater flexibility. 116 117 === InterTrac links === 142 To create a link to the first or last occurrence of a term on a page, use a ''pseudo anchor'' starting with '#/' or '#?': 143 {{{ 144 [#/Milestone first occurrence of Milestone] or 145 [#?Milestone last occurrence of Milestone] 146 }}} 147 [#/Milestone first occurrence of Milestone] or 148 [#?Milestone last occurrence of Milestone] 149 This will also highlight all other matches on the linked page. By default only case sensitive matches are considered. To include case insensitive matches append '/i': 150 {{{ 151 [#/Milestone/i first occurrence of Milestone or milestone] or 152 [#?Milestone/i last occurrence of Milestone or milestone] 153 }}} 154 [#/Milestone/i first occurrence of Milestone or milestone] or 155 [#?Milestone/i last occurrence of Milestone or milestone] 156 157 ''(since Trac 1.0)'' 158 159 Such anchors can be very useful for linking to specific lines in a file in the source browser: 160 {{{ 161 [trac:source:tags/trac-0.12/trac/wiki/api.py#L127 Line 127] or 162 [trac:source:tags/trac-0.12/trac/ticket/roadmap.py#L47 Line 47] 163 }}} 164 [trac:source:tags/trac-0.12/trac/wiki/api.py#L127 Line 127] or 165 [trac:source:tags/trac-0.12/trac/ticket/roadmap.py#L47 Line 47] 166 (Hint: The line numbers displayed in the source browser are links to anchors on the respective lines.) 167 168 Since such links become outdated when the file changes, it can be useful to link using a '#/' pseudo anchor instead: 169 {{{ 170 [trac:source:trunk/trac/wiki/api.py#/IWikiSyntaxProvider IWikiSyntaxProvider] or 171 [trac:source:trunk/trac/env.py#/ISystemInfoProvider ISystemInfoProvider] 172 }}} 173 [trac:source:trunk/trac/wiki/api.py#/IWikiSyntaxProvider IWikiSyntaxProvider] or 174 [trac:source:trunk/trac/env.py#/ISystemInfoProvider ISystemInfoProvider] 175 176 === InterWiki links 177 178 Other prefixes can be defined freely and made to point to resources in other Web applications. The definition of those prefixes as well as the URLs of the corresponding Web applications is defined in a special Wiki page, the InterMapTxt page. Note that while this could be used to create links to other Trac environments, there is a more specialized way to register other Trac environments which offers greater flexibility. 179 180 === InterTrac links 118 181 119 182 This can be seen as a kind of InterWiki link specialized for targeting other Trac projects. 120 183 121 Any type of Trac links could be written in one Trac environment and actually refer to resources present in another Trac environment, provided the Trac link is prefixed by the name of that other Trac environment followed by a colon. That other Trac environment must be registered, under its name or an alias. See InterTrac for details. 122 123 A distinctive advantage of InterTrac links over InterWiki links is that the shorthand form of Trac links usually have a way to understand the InterTrac prefixes. For example, links to Trac tickets can be written #T234 (if T was set as an alias for Trac), links to Trac changesets can be written [trac 1508]. 124 125 === Server-relative links === 126 127 It is often useful to be able to link to objects in your project that 128 have no built-in Trac linking mechanism, such as static resources, `newticket`, 129 a shared `/register` page on the server, etc. 130 131 To link to resources inside the project, use either an absolute path from the project root, 132 or a relative link from the URL of the current page (''Changed in 0.11''): 133 134 {{{ 135 [/newticket Create a new ticket] 136 [/ home] 137 }}} 138 139 Display: [/newticket Create a new ticket] [/ home] 140 141 To link to another location on the server (outside the project), use the '//location' link syntax (''Changed in 0.11''): 142 143 {{{ 144 [//register Register Here] 145 }}} 146 147 Display: [//register Register Here] 148 149 === Quoting space in TracLinks === 150 151 Immediately after a TracLinks prefix, targets containing space characters should 152 be enclosed in a pair of quotes or double quotes. 184 Any type of Trac link can be written in one Trac environment and actually refer to resources in another Trac environment. All that is required is to prefix the Trac link with the name of the other Trac environment followed by a colon. The other Trac environment must be registered on the InterTrac page. 185 186 A distinctive advantage of InterTrac links over InterWiki links is that the shorthand form of Trac links (e.g. `{}`, `r`, `#`) can also be used. For example if T was set as an alias for Trac, links to Trac tickets can be written #T234, links to Trac changesets can be written [trac 1508]. 187 See InterTrac for the complete details. 188 189 === Server-relative links 190 191 It is often useful to be able to link to objects in your project that have no built-in Trac linking mechanism, such as static resources, `newticket`, a shared `/register` page on the server, etc. 192 193 To link to resources inside the project, use either an absolute path from the project root, or a relative link from the URL of the current page (''Changed in 0.11''): 194 195 {{{ 196 [/newticket Create a new ticket] or [[//newticket|Create a new ticket]] 197 [/ home] or [[/|home]] 198 }}} 199 200 Display: [/newticket Create a new ticket] or [[//newticket|Create a new ticket]] 201 [/ home] or [[/|home]] 202 203 To link to another location on the server (possibly outside the project but on the same host), use the `//` prefix (''Changed in 0.11''): 204 205 {{{ 206 [//register Register Here] or [[//register|Register Here]] 207 }}} 208 209 Display: [//register Register Here] or [[//register|Register Here]] 210 211 === Quoting space in TracLinks 212 213 Immediately after a TracLinks prefix, targets containing space characters should be enclosed in a pair of quotes or double quotes. 153 214 Examples: 154 215 * !wiki:"The whitespace convention" … … 157 218 * !attachment:"the file.txt:ticket:123" 158 219 159 === Escaping Links === 220 Note that by using [trac:WikiCreole] style links, it's quite natural to write links containing spaces: 221 * ![[The whitespace convention]] 222 * ![[attachment:the file.txt]] 223 224 === Escaping Links 160 225 161 226 To prevent parsing of a !TracLink, you can escape it by preceding it with a '!' (exclamation mark). … … 169 234 ![42] is not a link either. 170 235 171 172 === Parameterized Trac links === 173 174 The Trac links target Trac resources which have generally more than one way to be rendered, according to some extra parameters. For example, a Wiki page can accept a `version` or a `format` parameter, a report can make use of dynamic variables, etc. 175 176 Any Trac links can support an arbitrary set of parameters, written in the same way as they would be for the corresponding URL. Some examples: 236 === Parameterized Trac links 237 238 Many Trac resources have more than one way to be rendered, depending on some extra parameters. For example, a Wiki page can accept a `version` or a `format` parameter, a report can make use of dynamic variables, etc. 239 240 Trac links can support an arbitrary set of parameters, written in the same way as they would be for the corresponding URL. Some examples: 177 241 - `wiki:WikiStart?format=txt` 178 242 - `ticket:1?version=1` 179 243 - `[/newticket?component=module1 create a ticket for module1]` 180 181 182 == TracLinks Reference == 183 The following sections describe the individual link types in detail, as well as several notes advanced usage of links. 184 185 === attachment: links === 244 - `[/newticket?summary=Add+short+description+here create a ticket with URL with spaces]` 245 246 == TracLinks Reference 247 248 The following sections describe the individual link types in detail, as well as notes on advanced usage of links. 249 250 === attachment: links 186 251 187 252 The link syntax for attachments is as follows: … … 198 263 See also [#export:links]. 199 264 200 === comment: links === 201 202 When you're inside a given tickets, you can simply write e.g. !comment:3 to link to the third change comment. 203 It's also possible to link to a comment of a specific ticket from anywhere using one of the following syntax: 204 - !comment:3:ticket:123 205 - !ticket:123#comment:3 (note that you can't write !#123#!comment:3!) 206 207 === query: links === 265 === comment: links 266 267 When you're inside a given ticket, you can simply write e.g. !comment:3 to link to the third change comment. 268 It is possible to link to a comment of a specific ticket from anywhere using one of the following syntax: 269 - `comment:3:ticket:123` 270 - `ticket:123#comment:3` (note that you can't write `#123#!comment:3`!) 271 It is also possible to link to the ticket's description using one of the following syntax: 272 - `comment:description` (within the ticket) 273 - `comment:description:ticket:123` 274 - `ticket:123#comment:description` 275 276 === htdocs: links 277 278 Use `htdocs:path/to/file` to reference files in the `htdocs` directory of the Trac environment, the [TracEnvironment#DirectoryStructure web resource directory]. 279 280 === query: links 208 281 209 282 See TracQuery#UsingTracLinks and [#ticket:links]. 210 283 211 === search: links ===284 === search: links 212 285 213 286 See TracSearch#SearchLinks 214 287 215 === ticket: links === 288 === ticket: links 289 290 ''alias:'' `bug:` 216 291 217 292 Besides the obvious `ticket:id` form, it is also possible to specify a list of tickets or even a range of tickets instead of the `id`. This generates a link to a custom query view containing this fixed set of tickets. … … 221 296 - `ticket:1,150` 222 297 223 ''(since Trac 0.11)'' 224 225 === timeline: links === 226 227 Links to the timeline can be created by specifying a date in the ISO:8601 format. The date can be optionally followed by a time specification. The time is interpreted as being UTC time, but alternatively you can specify your local time, followed by your timezone if you don't want to compute the UTC time. 298 === timeline: links 299 300 Links to the timeline can be created by specifying a date in the ISO:8601 format. The date can be optionally followed by a time specification. The time is interpreted as being UTC time, but if you don't want to compute the UTC time, you can specify a local time followed by your timezone offset relative to UTC. 228 301 229 302 Examples: … … 232 305 - `timeline:2008-01-29T15:48Z` 233 306 - `timeline:2008-01-29T16:48+01` 234 235 ''(since Trac 0.11)'' 236 237 === wiki: links === 238 239 See WikiPageNames and [#QuotingspaceinTracLinks quoting space in TracLinks] above. 240 241 === Version Control related links === 242 ==== source: links ==== 243 244 The default behavior for a source:/some/path link is to open the directory browser 245 if the path points to a directory and otherwise open the log view. 307 - `timeline:2008-01-29T16:48+0100` 308 - `timeline:2008-01-29T16:48+01:00` 309 310 === wiki: links 311 312 See WikiPageNames and [#QuotingspaceinTracLinks quoting space in TracLinks] above. It is possible to create a link to a specific page revision using the syntax WikiStart@1. 313 314 === Version Control related links 315 316 It should be noted that multiple repository support works by creating a kind of virtual namespace for versioned files in which the toplevel folders correspond to the repository names. Therefore, in presence of multiple repositories, a ''/path'' specification in the syntax of links detailed below should start with the name of the repository. If omitted, the default repository is used. In case a toplevel folder of the default repository has the same name as a repository, the latter "wins". One can always access such folder by fully qualifying it. The default repository can be an alias of a named repository, or conversely, it is always possible to create an alias for the default repository, ask your Trac administrator. 317 318 For example, `source:/trunk/COPYING` targets the path `/trunk/COPYING` in the default repository, whereas `source:/projectA/trunk/COPYING` targets the path `/trunk/COPYING` in the repository named `projectA`. This can be the same file if `'projectA'` is an alias to the default repository or if `''` (the default repository) is an alias to `'projectA'`. 319 320 ==== source: links 321 322 ''aliases:'' `browser:`, `repos:` 323 324 The default behavior for a `source:/some/path link` is to open the browser in that directory directory if the path points to a directory or to show the latest content of the file. 246 325 247 326 It's also possible to link directly to a specific revision of a file like this: 248 327 - `source:/some/file@123` - link to the file's revision 123 249 328 - `source:/some/file@head` - link explicitly to the latest revision of the file 329 - `source:/some/file@named-branch` - link to latest revision of the specified file in `named-branch` (DVCS such as Git or Mercurial) 250 330 251 331 If the revision is specified, one can even link to a specific line number: 252 332 - `source:/some/file@123#L10` 253 333 - `source:/tag/0.10@head#L10` 334 - `source:/some/file@named-branch#L10` 254 335 255 336 Finally, one can also highlight an arbitrary set of lines: 256 - `source:/some/file@123:10-20,100,103#L99` - highlight lines 10 to 20, and lines 100 and 103. 257 ''(since 0.11)'' 258 259 ==== export: links ==== 337 - `source:/some/file@123:10-20,100,103#L99` - highlight lines 10 to 20, and lines 100 and 103, and target line 99 338 - or without version number (the `@` is still needed): `source:/some/file@:10-20,100,103#L99`. Version can be omitted when the path is pointing to a source file that will no longer change (like `source:/tags/...`), otherwise it's better to specify which lines of //which version// of the file you're talking about. 339 340 Note that in presence of multiple repositories, the name of the repository is simply integrated in the path you specify for `source:` (e.g. `source:reponame/trunk/README`). ''(since 0.12)'' 341 342 ==== export: links 260 343 261 344 To force the download of a file in the repository, as opposed to displaying it in the browser, use the `export` link. Several forms are available: … … 263 346 * `export:123:/some/file` - get revision 123 of the specified file 264 347 * `export:/some/file@123` - get revision 123 of the specified file 348 * `export:/some/file@named-branch` - get latest revision of the specified file in `named-branch` (DVCS such as Git or Mercurial). 265 349 266 350 This can be very useful for displaying XML or HTML documentation with correct stylesheets and images, in case that has been checked in into the repository. Note that for this use case, you'd have to allow the web browser to render the content by setting `[browser] render_unsafe_content = yes` (see TracIni#browser-section), otherwise Trac will force the files to be downloaded as attachments for security concerns. … … 268 352 If the path is to a directory in the repository instead of a specific file, the source browser will be used to display the directory (identical to the result of `source:/some/dir`). 269 353 270 ==== log: links ====271 272 The `log:` links are used to display revision ranges. In its simplest form, it can link to the latest revisions fromthe specified path, but it can also support displaying an arbitrary set of revisions.354 ==== log: links 355 356 The `log:` links are used to display revision ranges. In its simplest form, it can link to the latest revisions of the specified path, but it can also support displaying an arbitrary set of revisions. 273 357 - `log:/` - the latest revisions starting at the root of the repository 274 358 - `log:/trunk/tools` - the latest revisions in `trunk/tools` 275 359 - `log:/trunk/tools@10000` - the revisions in `trunk/tools` starting from revision 10000 276 - `log:@20788,20791:20795` - list revision 20788 and the 20791 to 20795 revision range 277 - `log:/trunk/tools@20788,20791:20795` - list revision 20788 and the revisions from the 20791 to 20795 range which affect the given path 360 - `log:@20788,20791:20795` - list revision 20788 and the revisions from 20791 to 20795 361 - `log:/trunk/tools@20788,20791:20795` - list revision 20788 and the revisions from 20791 to 20795 which affect the given path 362 - `log:/tools@named-branch` - the revisions in `tools` starting from the latest revision in `named-branch` (DVCS such as Git or Mercurial) 278 363 279 364 There are short forms for revision ranges as well: … … 282 367 - `r20791:20795` (but not `r20788,20791:20795` nor `r20791:20795/trunk`) 283 368 284 Finally, note that in all of the above, a revision range can be written indifferently `x:y` or `x-y`. 369 Finally, note that in all of the above, a revision range can be written either as `x:y` or `x-y`. 370 371 In the presence of multiple repositories, the name of the repository should be specified as the first part of the path, e.g. `log:repos/branches` or `[20-40/repos]`. 285 372 286 373 ----
