Compare the way of creating and maintaining sections in Confluence with and without the projectdoc Toolbox.
Sections are used to structure pages. Sections have a title and a body and can be nested.
We refer to Confluence 5.9 and the projectdoc Toolbox 1.10 for our discussion.
Please bear in mind that projectdoc is our product - so there we are certainly biased in favour for the version of the projectdoc Toolbox.
Nonetheless we hope that our discussion is fair.
If you think this is not the case, especially if you feel we are lacking knowledge of features in favour of the Confluence macro, please give us a shout! We will check and adjust your issue with our presentation.
Summary
There is no special macro to render sections in Confluence. Therefore the system cannot distinguish between section with and without content.
The projectdoc Toolbox provides a Section Macro that defines sections. These sections form the template the page author uses to create documents, but without content do not render to the reader.
The following table lists features that are related to one of the macros discussed, but are implemented by different macros. In this case the macro providing the feature is listed. No extra cost is involved to use the mentioned macros, since all these macros are either part of Confluence or the projectdoc Toolbox Add-on.
