How to display all macro options in the macro placeholder

In Confluence 4.X is there a way to display all macro options in the editor?

For instance I am using the Page Tree macro with several options set, but it shows root and excerpt (partially) only (see screenshot).

Thank you,

I'm afraid the number of characters permitted is fixed at a set length. There is no option for showing the full set.

If you are happy "hacking" JAR files you can do the following.

1) Extract the confluence-tinymce-plugin jar from confluence-bundled-plugins.zip

2) Extract all files from the JAR

3) Open the atlassian-plugin.xml and look for this entry -

&lt;servlet name="Macro Placeholder Servlet" key="macro-placeholder" class="com.atlassian.confluence.tinymceplugin.placeholder.MacroPlaceholderServlet"&gt;
        &lt;description&gt;Generates a placeholder image for macros&lt;/description&gt;
        &lt;url-pattern&gt;/confluence/placeholder/macro&lt;/url-pattern&gt;
        &lt;init-param&gt;
            &lt;param-name&gt;maxParameterTextLength&lt;/param-name&gt;
            &lt;param-value&gt;30&lt;/param-value&gt;
        &lt;/init-param&gt;
        &lt;init-param&gt;
            &lt;param-name&gt;placeholderType&lt;/param-name&gt;
            &lt;param-value&gt;inline&lt;/param-value&gt;
        &lt;/init-param&gt;
    &lt;/servlet&gt;

You can set the maxParameterTextLength to a larger size.

4) Zip the extracted files back into the tinymce jar.

5) Install this "hacked" jar into Confluence.
