Excerpt include doesn't read inside macro

[Matthew Molineaux]

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Excerpt Include Macro

I'm trying to use an excerpt as part of a larger macro, and the excerpt-include doesn't find it. My guess is that the excerpt-include macro isn't performing macro expansion on the target page. Is there any way around this problem?

Here's a minimal example of a user macro (obviously useless by itself) that embeds the excerpt macro:

## @noparams

<ac:macro ac:name="excerpt">

      <ac:rich-text-body>

           <p>$body</p>

      </ac:rich-text-body>

</ac:macro>

When this macro is used, an excerpt-include referencing the embedded macro just gives empty text.

Just to check that you have view access to both the source page and the destination page?

[Matthew Molineaux]

Yes.

What is the enclosing macro? You can definitely access an excerpt that is in a macro.

[Matthew Molineaux]

Thanks for answering. I updated with a minimal example.

Ah, hopefully a user macro maven like @Davin Studer will have an answer. I also added the user-macro label.

have you tried multi-excerpt?
