Content of unordered lists in include macro rendered incorrectly

Hello everyone,

I've come the following issue: The content of unordered lists within an include macro is not rendered properly in an export (regardless of the used template).

For illustration purposes I have prepared this example with an ordered and an unordered list within the same excerpt macro. In the target page where this content is reused with the include macro, the content seems to be rendered correctly. In the Word export, however, the second level of the unordered list is ignored whereas the second level in the ordered list is rendered correctly.

 

Rendered Confluence view:

 

Export view (bundled Doucmentation layout):

 

This cannot be the expected behaviour, can it? Am I missing something or is there something going wrong?

 

Regards

Cordula

  Hi Cordula,

  Thanks for the post. So far from my tests, the unordered list retained the list levels in the export when included on a different page which I exported. Which version of the app were you using to generate the exports - was it the latest version? Additionally, how had you formatted the exported page with the Include page macro? Ideally, could you send us a copy of your page as an XML export so that we can test this? To export the content of a single Confluence page, please follow these instructions: https://help.k15t.com/creating-a-xml-export-of-a-single-page-111903666.html. Please send this information to support@k15t.com in order for us to troubleshoot this issue with you (within a created support case).

  Thanks,
  Thomas

  I think I found the cause of the problem: Even though the content formatting in the source page looked fine and seemed to be rendered correctly – with all bullet points showing and right indention, the orderd list items were not formatted correctly.

  I've come across the problem a few times already with headings. When one removes blank space before a heading it sometimes happens that the heading is still displayed correctly but when putting the cursor in the heading it's shown that the formatting is actually set to paragraph.

  So, probably some list item was added or deleted which led to the formatting getting jumbled. Thus, no exporter problem here. Thanks anyway!
