remove line break between macros

[Juan Tena]

Hi, I'm struggling to remove the line break between Expand macros, (see red thick line) recommendations

I tried "Source Editor" add-on with no success. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Joaquin,

Can you confirm this is the tutorial you used to try to remove the line?

• Confluence Editor Automatically Adds Line Break Before or After a Macro

If it did not work can you confirm your Confluence version so I can test that?

Hello Shannon, I'm with Confluence Cloud.

Yes, I tried source editor, but I'm not html expert, so maybe I just did it wrong.

I created this article for testing purposes:

I tried to find <p> tags to remove the line between both expands marcos without sucess.

This is the html code that source editor shows:

<p><br /></p>
<ac:structured-macro ac:name="expand" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="4aa0660c-4357-40bd-9e05-8d78a39dc9fc">
<ac:parameter ac:name="title">first</ac:parameter>
<ac:rich-text-body>
<p>Sample text1</p>
</ac:rich-text-body>
</ac:structured-macro>
<p class="auto-cursor-target"><br /></p>
<ac:structured-macro ac:name="expand" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="c59cb2d8-c8c1-4831-b1ad-62b778f7524c">
<ac:parameter ac:name="title">second</ac:parameter>
<ac:rich-text-body>
<p>Sample text2</p>
</ac:rich-text-body>
</ac:structured-macro>
<p class="auto-cursor-target"><br /></p>
<p class="auto-cursor-target"><br /></p>

Maybe you can tell me which line I should remove?

Thank you for confirming, Joaquin.

The add-on you're using is different from the one in the example which is not available for Cloud.

However, I tested it with my Cloud instance and the add-on you're using, and it does appear this level of customization is not possible on Cloud. Even if I remove the <p> entirely there will remain a space between the two Expand macros.

I hope that clarifies things but do let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,

Shannon

Hello @Shannon S , I'm with Confluence Server (latest version) and I'ave also line break cannot removed by edit source code:

<p class="auto-cursor-target">
<br/>
</p>

Xarkam.

Xarkam,

This thread was about Confluence Cloud specifically, where such an edit isn't possible.

Since you're on Server, I would recommend raising a new thread for your issue, and the community will be able to help you.

Shannon
