Converting/rendering XHTML in user macros

Robert Khanafiev

Hi everyone.

I'm new to Atlassian API and Velocity language, but I have to create my macro for exporting comments into PDF file.

I can successfully access the comments with smth like

#set ($comments = $content.getComments())
#foreach( $comment in $comments )
   #set ($commentBody = $comment.getContentEntityObject().getBodyAsString())
   $commentBody
#end

but seems like comments are returned to me in XHTML-type.

Attached screenshots show the example of original comment and its exported representation. How can I correctly render it?

Do you have rendered or unrendered checked for the output of the macro?

Robert Khanafiev

You mean the "Macro body processing" key? If so, It doesn't depend on it.

Bill Bailey

Yes, and you output should vary.

And use the inspect function to see how the output is being structured.

And I see there is this method that might help -

getBodyAsStringWithoutMarkup()

Up. Still need an answer.

Can anyone at least tell me, how can I properly access $xhtmlContent?

Robert Khanafiev

Found something interesting.

If I use

$comment.getEntity().getBodyContent().getBody()

in Confluence Server v7.4.5 everything works fine and comments are exported to PDF document properly.

In Confluence Server v7.7.X and v7.8.X my macros doesn't work properly and comments are exported without any render.

Of course all the settings for different versions are the same.

Is it a bug?

Bill Bailey

That is very interesting. I would suggest looking at the API docs to see what is changed, but unfortunately, the docs are very sparse.

Filing a case is probably your best option. There may already be a bug filed, or you get the joy of filing one. ;-)

Did you get anywhere on this. I'm seeing the same behaviour change when trying to upgrade to V7.8.X from V6.15.9

Robert Khanafiev

Not yet. Left this task in the background.
