Delegate Documents

If you ever thought of extending a document without touching it, the delegate document feature is for you! If you have a document for a person and you want to add additional information to that document in another space you now simply create that new document and delegate to the existing one. Each section of your new document will now render the section of the delegate document as long as it is empty.

To use this feature add a reference to the delegate document to your Document Properties Marker Macro. Read about how delegation works with the Section Macro and delegation for document properties.

HTML Metadata for SEO

The properties of a document can be exported as metadata on an HTML page easily. This metadata such as keywords or DC.description is used by web crawlers or search engines to enhance user experience or the search rank ratings.

For more information on this topic refer to Export Metadata on how to configure this feature and Metadata Sets for example sets.

Support for Glossaries

This version adds new macros to make working with glossaries and other indices easier.

Title Encodings

Title encodings work around the problem that the title of a Confluence page has to be unique within a space. The encodings are defined by the template author and should be activated by default.

This version introduces the encodings for the following types:

Spaces

@all, !TESTSPACEA, !TESTSPACEB

@all, !#test

#test, !TESTSPACEA

Required Document Properties

Sections and content may be hidden dependent on the presence of a property in the document.

This is an interesting feature especially for template authors to design blueprint that hide document parts not relevant in a given context.

New Artificial Properties

Artificial properties are properties that are automatically added to projectdoc documents and available to be selected, used as constraints, or for sorting.

$[Creation Date§]: [${Last Update§} TO NOW]

Creation Date@{date}

New Property Controls

This version includes the following new property controls.

HTML Span Macro

The new HTML Span Macro allows to attach a CSS class to a span. This makes it much easier to render Confluence icons.

<span class="aui-icon aui-icon-small aui-iconfont-devtools-arrow-right">Insert meaningful text here for accessibility</span>

Render Children in Table

The Display Table Macro now allows to render the children of a search hit. This is helpful for authors who want to render a hierarchical view on documents that meet a given search criteria.

Non-projectdoc Documents

This version improves support of macros used on non-projectdoc documents. Previous versions typically assumed to calculate default values for non-projectdoc documents. With this release macros will distinguish between projectdoc documents and simple Confluence pages. This removes problems on updating pages that have been converted to projectdoc documents.

Remove projectdoc Label

Doctype Add-on Update

With the update to the projectdoc Toolbox 1.10 the doctype add-ons need also be updated. This is due to an API change that will break compatibility of older versions of the add-ons.

Therefore please update your doctype add-ons to the following versions:

Date Representation

The creation and modification time of a page provided by Confluence is accessible by artificial properties. With this Version the names are as follows:

The same representations are available for the last modification date:

• Last Modification Date
• Last Modification Date Timestamp
• Last Modification Date$
• Last Modification Date§
• Last Modification Timestamp

Changelog Macro

The Changelog Macro is added as an experimental feature. The macro renders changes with their comments in a table.

Changes are tricky to track when users apply transclusion. Therefore the macro is helpful in a number of use cases and confusing in others. We release it and marked it as #Experimental to learn more about how this macro can be improved.

Content By Label Warnings

We use the Content By Label Macro on the homepages of spaces. We add a valid element that points to the space the macro include for its search. Due to changes to the macro, it is now migrating the information to CQL, setting the space as a string property. This will not break the macro, but the following message will be written to the Confluence log file:

Unhandled parameterType 
  com.atlassian.confluence.content.render.xhtml.model.resource.identifiers.SpaceResourceIdentifier
for macro contentbylabel with value of 
  com.atlassian.confluence.content.render.xhtml.model.resource.identifiers.SpaceResourceIdentifier@143fc

If you need to remove this warning, just remove the Content By Label Macro from the space homepages generated by the free add-ons. Alternatively you may change the parameters of the macro to use the CQL, but this option depends on the version of your Confluence installation.

Viewing Glitch

In cases where the storing and indexing of the page takes longer than the following view rendering process the content of the rendered page may not be up-to-date. This is especially an issue for homepages on space creation.

The user has to reload the page to see the updated content.
