Enabling the HTML Macro
The HTML macro is disabled by default. You'll need Confluence Administrator or System Administrator permissions to enable this macro.
Enabling these macros can make your Confluence site vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks. You should only turn on these macros if you trust all your users not to attempt to exploit them. We strongly recommend leaving this macro disabled if you allow self-signed up or anonymous users to create content.
To enable the HTML macro:
Go to Administration > Manage apps.
- Select System from the drop down and search for the Confluence HTML Macros system app.
- Expand the listing and enable the html (html-xhtml) module.
