# <span style="color: #000000">Description</span>

<span style="color: #000000">WikiLinks is an extension to the base Markdown syntax to allow for easy linking to other pages. The basic syntax is </span>**<span style="color: #000000">[[page name]]</span>**<span style="color: #000000">. The Markdown macros for Confluence support this by implementing links to the corresponding Confluence page. For Confluence, we have extended the support to include linking to content using Confluence wiki link syntax.</span>
