ADF node: layoutSection

Node

Description

In Confluence, the top-level doc node is allowed to include layoutSection nodes. These in turn contain exactly two or three layoutColumn nodes that wrap other content. The effect is similar to declaring a table with no visible border, exactly one tableRow and that number of tableCells within the row.

Example

Java

layoutSection(
        layoutColumn(40).content(p("Hello world")),
        layoutColumn(60).content(p("Hello world again"))
);
