The excerpt macro is used to mark a part of a page's content as its summary. By itself, the excerpt macro does not change the display of a page. However, defining an excerpt enables other macros such as 'excerpt-include' and 'blog-posts' macros to display a summary of a page's content.

(info) You can only have one excerpt for a page.

Excerpt Macro

{excerpt}A short summary of this page{excerpt}

Optionally,

Hide the contents of the excerpt

{excerpt:hidden=true}A short summary of this page{excerpt}


Some bugs in this macro fixed in Confluence 2.6.1

If you are using Confluence 2.5.x or 2.6.0, you may notice some problems with the {excerpt} and {excerpt-include} macros, where the macro strips away the markup so that images and links do not display properly. These problems have been fixed with Confluence 2.6.1. See JIRA issues CONF-8983 and CONF-8701, and refer to the Confluence 2.6.1 Release Notes for more details.
