h2.Use template variables
By default the plugin use an internal template to generate confluence page. You can customize the generated page creating a personal template into folder {{$\{basedir}/src/site/confluence}} named {{template.wiki}}. The template can include all valid confluence contents plus the following built-in variables
h3.Built-In template variables
||Variable ||Description||
|{{$\{project.summary}}}|project summary|
|{{$\{project.scmManager}}} |scm information|
|{{$\{project.dependencies}}} |dependencies|
|{{$\{pageTitle}}} |title of home page|
|{{$\{childTitle}}} |title of the current child page|
|{{$\{artifactId}}} |artifactId|
|{{$\{version}}} |version|
|{{$\{gitlog.jiraIssues}}} |list of JIRA issuses, extracted from gitlog since start tag|
|{{$\{gitlog.sinceTagName}}} |name of version tag to start extract JIRA issues|


h3. Images

* How to refer to an image
bq. {{\!$\{pageTitle}\^image_name!}}

* How to refer to an child's image within child page
bq. {{\!$\{childTitle}\^image_name!}}

h3. Attachments

* How to refer to an attachment
bq. {{\[$\{pageTitle}\^attachment_name]}}

* How to refer to an child's attachment within child page
bq. {{\[$\{childTitle}\^attachment_name]}}

h3. Tips & Tricks

h3.Git log template variables
Main idea is automated creating of release notes with list of resolved JIRA issues utilizing integration between JIRA and Confluence.
h4.Prerequrements:

* Include JIRA issue key in git commit message
* Using git as SCM and using version tags in git

h4.Git log configuration options

* {{gitLogJiraIssuesEnable}}
bq. Set it to true for enabling substitution of {{$\{gitlog.jiraIssues}}} build-in variable. Default value is false.

* {{gitLogSinceTagName}}
bq. Parse git log commits since last occurrence of specified tag name.

* {{gitLogUntilTagName}}
bq. Parse git log commits until first occurrence of specified tag name.

* {{gitLogCalculateRuleForSinceTagName}}

{quote}
If specified, plugin will try to calculate and replace actual gitLogSinceTagName value based on current project version {{$\{project.version}}} and provided rule.Possible values are:
* {{NO_RULE}}.
* {{CURRENT_MAJOR_VERSION}}. For example 1.2.3 will be resolved to 1.0.0
* {{CURRENT_MINOR_VERSION}}. For example 1.2.3 will be resolved to 1.2.0
* {{LATEST_RELEASE_VERSION}}. For example, if latest known version from version tags is 1.0.1 and current artifact (not released) version is 2.0.0, it will be resolved to 1.0.1

{quote}

* {{gitLogJiraProjectKeyList}} > JIRA projects keys to extract issues from gitlog. By default it will try extract all strings that match pattern (A-Za-z+)-\d+
* {{gitLogTagNamesPattern}}
bq. The pattern to filter out tagName. Can be used for filter only version tags

* {{gitLogGroupByVersions}}
bq. Enable grouping by versions tag


h4.Sample produced output of {{$\{gitlog.jiraIssues}}} with {{gitLogGroupByVersions=true}}
