The excerpt appears as shown below: Excerpt Macro A short summary of this page For this example, we are taking content from a page called 'Excerpt Macro', where the `excerpt` tags have already been placed.

For this example, we are taking content from a page called 'Excerpt Macro', where the `excerpt` tags have already been placed. ## Parameters Parameters are settings for Confluence macros that allow the user to control their content or presentation. The table below lists relevant parameters for this macro. Parameter names are displayed differently in the macro browser interface and in wiki markup. Below, parameter names used in the macro browser are indicated in Bold text, while their equivalents in wiki markup are indicated in (`bracketed`) text. If the latter is not shown, then in wiki markup, the parameter's name should be omitted and only its value should be added immediately after the colon symbol (`:`).
Parameter | Default | Description
--- | --- | ---
nopanel (`nopanel`) | false | Controls whether the square panel border around the excerpt should be removed. By default, the square panel is always shown.
