Can output of an inline macro with no body be searchable?

[Matthew J. Horn]

I have a macro that ouputs a class name as a link to our API references. The output is currently inline, so that there are no breaks before or after the macro itself. This lets you write a sentence like "For more information about the BlahBlah class, see xxx...." where BlahBlah is a link to the class.

There's no macro "body" (changing the macro to render the "body" lets it be searchable -- but this also causes Confluence to wrap the macro in <p> tags so that its output is no longer inline).

The bottom line is that when I search for "BlahBlah", this instance of the term does not show up, probably because its defined by the macro.

So, the question is, is there a way to make an inline macro searchable?

If you set the Macro Body Processing to "Rendered" it doesn't put the content inside paragraph tags.

Setting it to "Unrendered" will put in p tags and setting it to "Escaped" will put it in p tags and show those p tags on the page.
