Include CSS in confluence user macro

Michael Schlueter (secunet)

I have written an user macro in Confluence. The macro contains a modified css style

<style type="text/css">form.aui legend, form.aui .field-group>label, form.aui .field-group>aui-label {float: none !important; width: auto !important;} </style>

 

If a page with this macro is rendered in the browser 

the  .field-group>label is replaced by .field-group>label an therefore the style is not applied to the page. If I change the > back to > in the page source code everything is fine. Is there are to prevent this from happening?

Might help to post your macro code to get a better picture.

Generally, I don't like including CSS style inside a user macro because if you have multiple occurrences on a page, the page loads a duplicate style sheet for each macro.

A better approach is to just add your desired style to the Space CSS. This approach makes it easier to catch conflicts and debug issues.
