The Warning Macro allows you to highlight a warning note on a Confluence page.
It creates a red-coloured box surrounding your text as shown below.
Warning Macro Example
This text is rendered inside the warning macro.
On this page:

Parameters
Parameters are options that you can include in Confluence macros to control the content or format of the macro output. The table below lists relevant parameters for this macro.
Parameter names are different in the macro browser and in wiki markup. Below we show the macro browser parameter names in bold text, and the equivalent wiki markup parameters in (bracketed) text. If we do not show any parameter name for the wiki markup, then you should leave out the parameter name and simply include the parameter value as the first parameter, immediately after the colon (:).
