pdf export outputs < as < inside code block

[Johan Ferner]

Hello,

I just upgraded a bunch of plugins including the pdf export plugin and have come across something strange.

When we export our technical docs to PDF we get:

&lt;foo&gt;this is xml&lt;/foo&gt;

from the following wiki code:

{code}
<foo>this is xml</foo>
{code}

It is rendered correctly on screen.

Running Confluence 3.5

Any ideas? If not, Can I downgrade the plugin?

Thanks,

Johan

After contacting the excellent Atlassian support (thanks Peter Koczan) I downgraded the pdf exporter.

The problem persisted. Then I downgraded com.atlassian.confluence.ext.newcode-macro-plugin from 1.9.12 to 1.9.10 and the problem went away.

Hi Johan,

I was trying to replicate this behavior, but here worked as expected.

Could you please clarify what this <foo> does? That could be the case.

Cheers,

Hello William, thanks for your answer. <foo> is just some text to demonstrate my problem. I'll try to open a support case and report back here if resolved.

Johan,

I'm not sure if what you're experiencing is a bug or some kind od expected behavior for earlier versions of Confluence. But, you can take a look at those export customization pages, that speaks how these Export actions goes, what you have to do in some cases.

Maybe you have to modify your PDF Stylesheet to applicate your changes.

Or customize the exports to PDF.

Sorry if it doesn't help you.

Cheers
