One tool to help diagnosis the issue is the confluence-source-editor. This tool will allow you to look at the XHTML source of the page to see if the images that are not centering on PDF export are some how inserted differently than other, for example, inside div or span tags, or non-breaking spaces ahead of the image, etc.…

OK, good idea to update the docs, then. ;-)

Looks like your space was set up with very restricted rights.

Unless they have set permissions to restrict editing, anyone has ownership. If they HAVE set permissions, then someone with space admin or above privileges can reset the permissions. Strictly speaking, there is nothing special associated with the name of the page creator -- just an audit trail. If it really bothers people,…

Well I have never used the include macros for docs, but rather I use the multe-excerpt macros (paid) and have not seen this issue. I feel the multi-excerpt are far more useful for documentation (I am also a tech writer by trade).

Well, that is the reason for the builtin comment function at the bottom of the page. Your customers will either need a user account for your Confluence instance or you will need to enable anonymous users to make comments (in the permissions settings). The later is easy, but you won't know who made the comments.

@Ryan Fish, looking at the documentation, this seems to only work with reference a table on the same page. You will be able to reference the marked table by inserting the Table Excerpt Include macro (on the same page only) and entering the specified unique name. Is that correct?

I think you are asking if you can change page ownership? Has the user left the company and no longer a user? In other words, what exactly do you mean by disassociate? If you just want to restrict viewing, then you can set page restrictions as @[deleted] has suggested.

What version of Confluence are you using?

This is why I am a huge advocate for the confluence-source-editor. It allows me to clear out the span and div tags using RegEx in an imported document, saving a lot of reformat work. It also allows me to get rid of the spasmodic double spaces after periods. ;-)

If I understand your comment, you are only seeing the variable name being displayed. That would suggest that the following statement is never found to be true: #if($childlabel.name == $paramLabel ) I would suggest using a different method to get a list of child pages, so instead of: #foreach( $child in…

Which is why the SpaceKey cannot be changed ;-)

Then it is probably a generated style sheet, starting with something like LESS.

To add to Tobias' statement -- because of the issue of users pasting in HTML into documents (div and span tags being the bigger offenders), I strongly recommend that admins (or those responsible for documentation) install the source editor plug in. It has saved me many times, especially with its RegEx search capabilities.

Is it running behind Apache or NGINX?

Let me try again, what method are you using to apply a color and attempting to apply a gradient? External CSS? Source editor? HTML pasted into Confluence?

Yeah, I have team that I get to do this kind of code work. ;-)

We ran into a similar issue where we wanted to have a listing of related pages based on labels, but restricted to child pages. I ended up writing a rather complex user macro to accomplish this task, inspired by/derived from this macro: https://github.com/unidwell/confluence-include-child-pages-macro

I would try the commercial plugin multi-excerpt. It will allow you to create multiple named excerpts on a page, as well as reference named excerpts from multiple pages (across multiple spaces) on a single page. IMHO this is an essential plugin for content reuse. On use case is to have multiple content snippets on a page…

How are applying this style?

Yes it is possible via the Confluence API, but you are going to have to write your own code wrapper to make this happen along with a dedicated user account within Confluence. https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/advanced-searching-using-cql/

Short answer, there is no way. Long answer is that the sort function is not a part of the macro, but javascript (I think) running on the page. In other words, the table sorting is a builtin function of Confluence running on the rendered table -- meaning only those items displayed are sorted, not the underlying data.

It REALLY sounds like something is wrong in your instance. It has always been very stable from my experience. But you have to understand that this is not a full featured editor (derived from TinyMCE). It also has to use HTML which places a lot of constraints on presentation. I have been a long term fan of FrameMaker (the…

The trick is to use the inspect function of a browser to determine the structure of the page and the CSS selector. For my version, the HTML is as follows: <h1 id="logo" class="aui-header-logo aui-header-logo-custom"><a href="/"> <img src="/download/attachments/XXXXX" alt="XXXXX" data-aui-responsive-header-index="0"></a>…

I can't take credit for the basic concept of this macro (but I don't remember where I found it). It basically uses a white tape approach to inhibit inline commenting via CSS. ## No macro body ## @noparams <style> button[data-key*=inline-comment] { visibility:hidden; }…

Are you macros each in individual table cells? And not clear, but sounds like you have a custom GUI for your checkbox, rather than editing the macro and setting parameters there? Here is code of something similar to what you are doing that does work with the report macro. ## Macro title: Priority ## Developed by: Bill…

I went through something similar, where i created a user macro that generated the page property table with pulldowns, etc. Didn't work with the report macro. If seems to be very selective at looking at the page source and not the rendered page. So I backtracked, and used a separate table, creating individual user macros…

Yeah, it is a compromise, but I find that the speed of creating documentation because of the collaboration far outweighs presentation. Now for PDF, we went to Scroll PDF (version 3.x), because at least I could get about 90% of what I could with FrameMaker. It took some work, user macros, and custom CSS, but it is good…

Well I think you can restrict where the workflow is used. It has been a few years since I wrote a workflow, so not sure what options they have added. But it is the only way I know short of writing a user macro that you insert on the page, although I know if can manipulate labels, I don't know how to watch for events or…

I think this would require a commercial plugin Comala workflows. It would allow you to write a workflow that will watch the page, sending emails based on various trigger events. Maybe overkill for what you want, but if it is really important, it will solve the problem.
