Upgrading a very simple macro from Confluence 3.5 to 4.0

unknown

I have a very basic macro that is used on many, many pages in our Confluence 3.5 instance. I've read this page: Upgrading and Migrating an Existing Confluence Macro to 4.0 which is all very well for complicated macros that have been created as plugins.

My little macro was created entirely in the User Macro admin screen. It wraps a paragraph of text and displays a toc over on the right side of the page to save space.

The settings are:

• Macro body processing: Render HTML
• Output format: wiki markup
• template:

{section}{column:width=60%} 
$body 
{column}{column} 
{panel:bgColor=#FFF2F0|borderColor=white}{toc:style=circle|maxLevel=3}{panel} 
{column}{section}

and that's it.

My question is: do I have to go through all that rigmarole of creating a plugin (creating XML files and building a jar) in order to test a migration from 3.5 to 4.x to 5.x ?

<ac:macro ac:name="section">
  <ac:rich-text-body>
    <ac:macro ac:name="column">
      <ac:parameter ac:name="width">60%</ac:parameter>
      <ac:rich-text-body>
        <p>$body</p>
      </ac:rich-text-body>
    </ac:macro>
    <ac:macro ac:name="column">
      <ac:rich-text-body>
        <ac:macro ac:name="panel">
          <ac:parameter ac:name="bgColor">#FFF2F0</ac:parameter>
          <ac:parameter ac:name="borderColor">white</ac:parameter>
          <ac:rich-text-body>
            <p>
              <ac:macro ac:name="toc">
                <ac:parameter ac:name="style">circle</ac:parameter>
                <ac:parameter ac:name="maxLevel">3</ac:parameter>
              </ac:macro> </p>
          </ac:rich-text-body>
        </ac:macro>
      </ac:rich-text-body>
    </ac:macro>
  </ac:rich-text-body>
</ac:macro>

You can add the above code to your Confluence 4.x user macro Ensure that the Macro Body Processing option is set to "Rendered"

How did I do this?

• Create a new page, click Insert > Wiki Markup
• Copy and paste your previous user macro template
• Save the page
• View the Storage Format (Tools > View Storage Format)
