Enable TikZ
TikZ is the only language disabled out of the box, because rendering it means running a full TeX engine. That is heavier than every other renderer here, and most sites never need it.
If your site writes papers, theses or scientific documentation, turn it on.
#When you would change this
Scientific, mathematical or academic documentation.
Teams already writing LaTeX who want the figures in Confluence.
Publication-quality figures that nothing else here can produce.
#What you can set
Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
Where | Site settings, alongside the other language toggles. |
Who | A Confluence administrator. |
Effect | TikZ appears in the editor picker for everyone on the site. |
#A few things that catch people out
TikZ renders more slowly than anything else. Expect a noticeable wait on complex figures.
Errors come from TeX, so they read like TeX errors rather than diagram errors.
The language page has worked examples and the useful libraries. See Reference.
