Error message: Unexpected close tag when importing XML into the Confluence Cloud

Olaf Rettig

Hi Atlassian team,

I am having a problem importing XML spaces from the Confluence data center to the Atlassian Confluence Cloud.
Previously, this problem did not occur when importing XML spaces into the cloud.
I tried to import several different spaces and each time I got this error message "Unexpected close tag ; expected . at [row,col {unknown source}]: [x,xxxx]".
The character ";" was not present in the specified line.

Do you have a solution for this problem?

Take a look at this bug report.  You are likely falling into a new derivative of this.

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-77579 

The causes of this have been fixed, but it may have come back.

One suggestion is to look for any nested macros and remove them before exporting the old sites.
