How can I avoid html encoding for Parameters in user macros

Michael Ammann

We have a user macro with a parameter of type confluence-content. When we try to get the page with a title containing special characters e.g. "This & That", the parameter returns the title encoded "This & That". So when trying to get the page from the pageManager, the page is not found. Is there a possibility to avoid the encoding of a parameter?

is your parameter type set to "type=confluence-content"? That is supposed to allow a user to run a match to existing content.

Michael Ammann

Yes, it is set to confluence-content. In a macro within a plugin, this parameter then is returned without encoding but in a user macro when rendering the velocity template, the parameter will be encoded.

Can you convert the results from the PageManager to encoded HTML before doing a compare? Or are you trying to do a page look up?

And how about just pulling the pageID of the desired page?

Bill Bailey

The other way is to parse your parameter to find replace HTML encodings. Not fun, but you can add corner cases (and tell user to please not put special characters in page names).
