Cloud Migration, coping without the old Panel Macro
As a Confluence Server user for many years, the panel macro is by far the most used in our documentation spaces.
We use it for layout, formatting, code display, terminal output examples - as one of the most flexible means of conveying information.
So far, we've been unable to find any workarounds within the constraints of Confluence Cloud which allow us to format information the way we would like:
- Select background colour of panels using Hex code
- Select panel border style, colour and code
- Format text within a panel, including using monospace font (not inside a code block)
- When displaying code, would like to colour some text (e.g. placeholders)
Although the info panels in Confluence Cloud received a minor functionality update last year, they are still well short of the capability of the old panel macro.
Does anyone have any suggested workarounds which would allow us to create pages with the type of formatting below? This is the single biggest issue preventing us from migrating to Confluence Cloud, and with the clock ticking down to the end of Server support this is becoming more urgent.
