Template Editor Doesn't Support All Macros

[Gunnar Gissel]

I'm running 4.2.11

My template editor only takes wiki markup. It's a simple two text field, one text area set up. It does not look like the template editor shown here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Adding+a+Template#AddingaTemplate-content

My real issue is I'd like to include the navitabs macro (not from Atlassian, true, but also just a macro) in a template, but have not figured out a way to make that happen with the template editor as it is on my installation. The template editor appears to only take wiki markup, and I haven't figured out what the navitabs wiki markup is, if it exists. {localtab}, {localtab group} and variations thereof (plurals, spacing, capitalization) don't seem to work.

Do I need to upgrade to a newer version to get full macro support? If so, what version?

May be you can try inserting the XHTML code in your template. For example this wikimarkup:

{macroname:parameter1=value1|parameter2=value2}

Converts to:

<ac:macro ac:name="macroname"><ac:parameter ac:name="parameter1">value1</ac:parameter><ac:parameter ac:name="parameter2">value2</ac:parameter></ac:macro>

That's probably a pretty good technique, but I haven't had much luck figuring out what the wikimarkup for navitab's localtab is supposed to be. Rummaging around their site, it appears that the localtab macro doesn't support wikimarkup, which makes it a little hard to use with the current template editor.

Is there a way to extract the xhtml from a confluence page, like an export or something?

For this particular issue the Navitabs plugin was causing problems with our template editor: https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/browse/NAVITABS-14

This is resolved in Confluence 4.3, due for release early September.
