Server version of multiexcerpt include

Peter Hache November 22, 2021

Hello, is there a Server version equivalent to the Cloud version of the MultiExcerpt Include macro, or is there a way to use the MultiExcerpt macro to the same end.

Hi @Peter Hache ,

We can also suggest trying our Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app and its Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include macros.

You'll be able to collect multiple excerpts (text, tables with many rows, etc.) from the same page, page and child pages, page and all descendants and pages with labels.

Hi @Peter Hache,

welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Are you talking about the MultiExcerpt macro provided by the marketplace app by Artemis. If yes, this is available for Server/Data Center as you can see on the marketplace listing.

Cheers,
Matthias.

Just to second @Matthias Gaiser _K15t_  comment, yes, the multiexcerpt existed for the server well before it was available on the Cloud. I am a current user of the server version.

thank you for your prompt response, my understanding was that there were two macros that worked together, the MultiExcerpt and the MultiExcerpt Include macros.  My question was perhaps not clear, I was inquiring as to the availability of the MultiExcerpt Include macro for Server/Data Center.

THe two macros work as a pair. One is useless without the other.

Yep.

  • Excerpt - flags an area as an excerpt
  • Excerpt-include - uses the excerpt flag to pull in the block of page that excerpt flags

Given that, you can see that @Bill Bailey is totally right - one is useless without the other.  (and both pairs work on server and cloud)

The Multi-excerpt app allows you to put more than one excerpt on a page, and hence demands that you say which one you want when you reference a page that has more than one, but it's the same idea.

(Oh, and include and excerpt appeared in Confluence 1.0.  If memory serves, mulit-excerpt was one of the first apps for Confluence.  And all of those pre-dates Cloud by several years and all got rolled into Cloud as soon as)
