Confluence: Split Children Display Macro Into Two Segments

[Stephen Kairys]

Confluence Server 5.9.7:

Hello,

I have a page contaniing a Children Display Macro with the following scrubbed entries.

Dogs - Diet
Dogs - Grooming
Dogs - Exercise
Cats - Diet
Cats - Grooming

Because this page is is already four levels down in our page tree, we do not want to create a fifth level...navigating down to it becomes too much of a pain.

Accroindgly, is there a way to "split" the Children Display macro so it would look as follows:

Example 1 (Whitespace between Dogs and Cats)

Dogs - Diet
Dogs - Grooming
Dogs - Exercise

Cats - Diet
Cats - Grooming

Example 2 (Header above each "section:)

Dogs

Diet
Gooming
Exercise

Cats

Diet
Grooming

-----

Thanks!
