When putting content inside an excerpt macro it publishes much smaller

Simon Baynes_sl1zoq

I am trying to use the Excerpt Macro to share diagrams on multiple pages. The sharing part is fine. However, the macro itself it shirking my diagram. When I edit the page I make the image inside the excerpt large so it is easy to digest. However, when I publish the page it scales it down. If I put the image outside of the Excerpt Marco then it publishes as I would expect.

What can I do? As this functionality is not going to cut it for what I am trying to do.

Hello @Simon Baynes !

As I understand, image size is incorrectly rendered when you insert the image inside an Excerpt Macro.

I was able to replicate this behavior when I set the page to use the Full-Width mode. You can check more about the full-width options here:

• [Atlassian Community] The new editing experience: we're listening Edited

With these results at hand, I raised this bug report:

• [Confluence Cloud] Inserting an image into an Excerpt Macro while in Full-Width mode results in incorrect image size

Can you confirm that the behavior I described within the report matches what you are experiencing as well?

If that is the case, the best course of action would be to vote and watch for the report. Voting helps to increase report visibility.

Further, would you like to expand on what is the ultimate objective of your usage of the Excerpt Macro? Maybe we can come up with something to replace the Excerpt as the main tool for it!

 

Let us hear from you!
