we encountered a special error with large page shows:

is there any way to enlarge the limit value , such as 10000? we try java parameter not work: -Dcom.ctc.wstx.maxEntityDepth=10000

or how can we resolve this？we installed the plugin source Editor，but not work，view source page only shows above error.

Hi @lynne

Based on this conversation : https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Confluence-questions/Maximum-Element-Depth-limit-1000-exception-in-Confluence-server/qaq-p/2293070, it seems to be a bug.
It is registered here : CONFSERVER-81464 but normally fixed on Confluence 8.3

You may need to comment on this ticket, you are not alone having this issue on a newer version of Confluence.
