Description

The Excerpt macro is a bridge between Confluence and XWiki. It allows the user to mark part of the page's content for use by other macros, for instance {{excerpt-include}}.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
atlassian-macro-output-type	The ouput type. It can be either BLOCK or INLINE. Here for historical reasons and won't be shown in the macro editor.	INLINE
hidden	If true, the content of the macro will be hidden.	false
name	The name of the excerpt, for named includes.	false
allowUnprivilegedInclude	Allow this excerpt to be seen even for people who don't have view rights on this page when included	false

Example of usage

Example of excerpt with a table in it:

{{excerpt}}
|=Title1|=Title2|=Title3
|Text1|Text2|Text3
{{/excerpt}}

The result is the following:
