Hi there,

 

I am currently testing confluence for documenting quite a bunch of similar products. For that I'd like to reuse content as good as possible, which is easy to do with the include page and the include excerpt macros.

Unfortunately, when I have a ToC in my resulting documentation page, the headings of the included pages/excerpts are not shown.

BTW: this was working in Confluence DC, but doesn't in Confluence cloud.
Any idea / workaround / app, how to solve this issue?

best regards,

Martin

@martinunver Unfortunately, I think this is working as designed. Since the headings in the included page are wrapped in the Include Page macro, they do not exist on the page and are not, therefore, picked up for the TOC macro.

Welcome to the community, @martinunver 👋

I'm finding "Include page" and "Insert excerpt" in my instance of Confluence Cloud. Maybe check again? Let us know how you make out.

Hi Dave,

 

thank you for your answer.

Yes, I do find the macros and they do work. But they don't work in conjunction with the ToC macro, as it can be seen in the attached picture:

That's my pain here. :-)

 

BTW: When I go to the history of the page, the ToC is fully available.

 

best regards,

Martin
