Unknown Macro: html when used in Sidebar

Unknown Macro: html when used in Sidebar

Hello,

We're running Confluence Server 6.5 with the Confluence HTML Macros enabled. The macro works within a confluence page, rendering html and JavaScript just fine. However, when using the macro in the Sidebar (through Space Look and Feel), we receive the error:

Unknown macro: {html}

The HTML macro documentation seem to indicate that this should work. I used the same example provided in the docs and got the error above. Any idea what might be going wrong?

Thanks

and inserted the example code like that at the space configuration:

This is what I can see in the sidebar:

@Thomas Schlegel - This was it! We enabled the html (legacy) in test and it worked. Thanks!
