This feature has been release with version 5.0 of the projectdoc Toolbox as experimental.

The basic functionality is there, but some work is still required. For instance accessibility is missing. You need to use the mouse to get the macros and rendered content to collapse and expand. The controls are not yet very intuitive, meaning: if you do not know the feature, you will probably not learn it without reading this documentation.

Further limitations (selection):

• The rendered content is deleteable - does not hurt, but may be confusion especially for novice users
• It may be cumbersome to work with the rendered content in the editor - we are evaluation the use cases currently
• Does not update on changes to the macros - it is just meant as an orientation for the author once the editor opens
• Rendering is done in editor mode - so the content is not exactly rendered as in view mode (missing styles, missing icons)
• Copying and pasting content may result in dynamic content to be saved as genuine content - can be easily removed, but is probably very confusion for novice users
• Does not work in editor of a new page

Currently there is no target date or version when this feature will be considered production-ready. Experimental features may be removed, if it turns out that there is no demand for it or if it is technically not feasible to provide it in a manner users expect it to work.

Feedback is welcome!

The rendered content is rendered inside the page in the page editor.

The following screenshot shows the macros with their rendered content below. The first macro is the 

With a single click you may remove the macros from the view.

Or you may remove the rendered contents from the view.

You may interact with the macro or the rendered content.

For the macro and the rendered content you need to click on the chrome, for instance on the macro head or the upper margin of the rendered content.

Users in the group of confluence-administrators are able to activate and deactivate (default) the feature on the Features control panel.

In case you find this feature confusing or it interferes with other tools you use on your Confluence platform, simply deactivate it.

Administrators may also specify the names of macros that use the feature to render dynamic content.

You may use a wildcard at the end of the macro name which will match all macro names with the given prefix.

Note that you are not restricted to macros provided by the projectdoc Toolbox.

Futher you may control whether the macro and / or the rendered dynamic content is shown when a user opens the page editor. In case you deselect both checkboxes, the system will render the macro.
