Confluence macro specifying font and special character?

[Robert Lauriston]

I use ⋮ (U+22EE) in my Confluence content, but it is not supported by the fonts I use with Scroll PDF Exporter, and I don't want to change the default font to any of the ones that include that glyph. Is there some way to wrap it in a macro that will specify the font?

Hi Robert,

This will help: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Writing+User+Macros

And as a macro content (template) you will need to put

## @noparams
<span style="font-family: EversonMono;">⋮</span>

The ⋮ does not appear in the PDF.

that is because EversonMono font does not get embedded into the pdf, but this is another story

[Robert Lauriston]

EversonMono is installed in the Scroll PDF Exporter template. PDF export is the issue here. The ⋮ character appears fine in Confluence.

I don't understand how to translate that into a macro and Atlassian's docs are not helpful. All I really want is this: <span style="font-family: EversonMono;">⋮</span>

Sure is! Do you know the font or the source of the font? The user macro will be something like: {code} ##@param Content|title=User supplied content|Textbox <span style="font-family: WorkingFont;">$paramContent</span> {code} The content MUST use a parameter and not the body to remain INLINE.
