user macro failes

Question

Hello,

this user macro, that I posted a picture of below, suddenly stopped working and is only displaying  $htmlUtil.htmlEncode($content.displayTitle)

I can't seem to fix it. I think this happend after the last patch of Confluence to version 8.5.4.

How can I fix it? We use this macro a lot in our organization.

adding HtmlUtil to string in setenv.sh fixed the html problem.

The macro output looks correct but there's some problem with the lik to parent page. I get page not found or insufficient permission error, but i guess it's a macro problem and not a server problem :)

Hello @Sara von Hofsten , I can see that HtmlUtil should be available in velocity context according to the docs: https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-objects-accessible-from-velocity, but really, it is not. As an option, if HTML is rendered with a variable assignment, the variable name needs to end with "Html". This will render HTML instead of escaping it. Example: $outputHtml instead of $output So you can try to create the variable with the title ending with 'html' to be escaped, like: #set($titleHtml = $content.displayTitle ) $content.displayTitle ## as is
$titleHtml ## escaped
