  • HTML exports do not show the expanded text. When you export the page to HTML, the text between the macro tags is not visible. Nothing happens when readers click the 'expand' icon. This issue is logged as CONF-21092. If you like, you can vote for the issue or 'watch' it to keep informed of progress.
  • Text is expanded in PDF exports. When you export the page to PDF, the text between the macro tags is expanded so that readers can see it on the PDF page.
