Problem adding the same user macro more than once on a single page

Peter Conrad

I have defined a user macro, let's call it {current_version}. I want to use it in a page like this:

Make sure you download version {current_version} of the file, because if you download anything but version {current_version} you get gibberish. See below for a list of URLs:
http://www.example.com/files/file{current_version}
Remember to download {current_version} only. Thanks, bye!

But what happens is, if I use a user macro more than once on a page, it conflates them all and sticks them together, so the above page would render like this:

Make sure you download version 1.1.0 only. Thanks, bye!

All the intervening stuff is skipped! I'm using Confluence 3.4. Is this a bug, or is there a workaround, or what?

Hi Peter,

Make sure you have your user macro set to have 'no body'. I think what it's doing is seeing the first and last as the opening and closing macros, but you want one that doesn't actually have a closing macro.

Hope that helps!
