General information

The Table Transformer macro supports Confluence Wiki Markup (the FORMATWIKI function) and  Markdown syntax (the FORMATMARKDOWN function) for the purposes of cell formatting.

The FORMATWIKI/FORMATMARKDOWN functions work as a part of SQL queries and are applied to table cells. As the source table is treated as a mini SQL database, these functions can change formatting of the specific columns (the columns are defined by their headers) or cells within these columns (cells' contents is checked to meet different conditions, e.g. via the CASE WHEN statement).

If you need to format the whole table, you should visit the "Stylesheet tab - altering table display with CSS" page and use the classic CSS language inside the Stylesheet tab of the Table Transformer macro.

These functions don't support formatting of complex macros that dynamically change the content, get data from someplace ( e.g. User List macro, Expand macro, etc.)
