How to add tabs in a confluence page?

[Avinash]

Hi,

I want to add different tabs inside a confluence page with custom tab names and colors. I tried using the composition set up macro with deck and card macro like the following sample code

{composition-setup}

{deck:id=myDeck}

{card:label=tab1}

This is the first tab's content

{card}

{card:label=tab2}

This is the second tab's content

{card}

{deck}

{composition-setup}

But, Nothing gets displayed on the page. Somebody help!

Thanks

Just use the composition setup at the top, not surrounding the main body.

You mean have the composition setup macro at the top and not at the bottom? I tried that too...still nothing! Am i missing something?

What version of confluence is this in.  I am trying to make the tabs across the page but dont see how I can go into the source code platform to update the code only see the view mode and edit mode to update the pages I have .  Can you assist.

Are you using Confluence 4? In this case the composition-setup macro is not required for deck/cards. Just use those macros directly.

No, Im using Confluence 3.5

I came across navitab macro. It automatically pulls in all the pages assocated with a root page and assigns them as labels. Also clicking the tab opens up the page associated with it. It doesnt give you a snapshot of the content. So basically this macro doesnt serve the purpose but it might be useful if you want the page links to be presented in a cool way!
