How can I exclude headers of an excerpt-include from a table of contents

Question

I have a Confluence page with four sections (two of which have three columns). Of the four sections, I want to excerpt two to include in another page.

How would I do that? Confluence does not let me select the content of more than one section when I use the Excerpt macro.

I see you commented on the suggestion - thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the info. It defeats the purpose to break the content out to separate pages, since the reason sections are used on the original page is to control formatting of related content.

I will visit the issue and comment; being able to select multiple sections as an excerpt would be very handy.

I just tested on Confluence 6.9 server and I could add the excerpt macro to multiple sections but the excerpt include macro only renders the first one. It seems to be the expected behavior.

The ability to render multiple excerpts from the same page in the excerpt-include macro has been suggested on our issue tracker: Excerpt Include - Can select only the first excerpt from a page You may comment and/or vote on it to communicate your use case to the development team.

For now the only workaround I can think of is to create separate pages for the multiple sections so they can be included on the other page.
