Create a button in Confluence page
Asked by Simon G_:

Hi!

I would like to highlight some links given in my Confluence documentation so I want use button (with the same aspect than the "Create" button for example). However, I haven't found a macro for button, neither a way to square my link and color the background. Have you an idea?

1. Create a 1x1 table with a header.

2. Put a normal link inside it.

3. Profit!

author: Rick Teaff
body: Here's an easy, and limited, workaround:

Insert the "Status" macro. Use the macro edit to name your button. Save the change. Highlight the button, use the chainlink to add a web link. There aren't any size options and just a few colors, but it works.

Note: It only seems to work with website links, share links, browser links pasted into the "web link" box.

body: Excellent!


author: Brian Sheridan
body: I tried this but the status bar disappears when I update page. Any ideas why this happens?


author: Rick Teaff
body: Not sure why, but it doesn't work if you search for a page and select the page you want to link to.

It does work for pages and uploads if you copy a link from your browser address box.

It also works if you get a link from the Share function and then go back and paste that link into the Web Link box.


author: Brian Sheridan
body: oh right, thanks. I actually found another workaround.

Take a snip of the Status Macro and save as an image. Copy into table. Link to the image of the status macro. It is indistinguishable form the status macro.

body: I mean exactly the **Lozenge** macro, part of the free elements of the [Content Formatting Macros](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.adaptavist.confluence.contentFormattingMacros).

That and some other ideas:

author: Simon G_
body: Hi Milo and thanks for your response.

I guess you are speaking about the [Satus macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Status+Macro).

This is interresting but is there a way to change the text size in it?


author: Milo Test
body: The Lozenge macro should be called Button macro.

You can also add a graphic as a button and hyperlink it.
