Hi Gary, that's a good idea! I don't know what Confluence understands as excerpt. I know it has some macro to mark some section of the page, so you can include excerpts of pages on other pages, but surely that's not what it's shown on the Content by Label macro. ReferringPagesPlugin currently only stores page references, so either we store the first N characters of the page as metadata and make page requests to grab the first N characters, or we store them on memory, along with the page references.
In memory would increase memory usage (most probably it would still be ok) and would entail a page request for each reference, and we'd have to sync with page saves. OTOH, having the excerpt as metadata would allow third party plugins/filters/etc. to work with them, but most probably we would want to cache it to avoid page metadata requests. May be something in-between :-? Would you mind filing a jira issue for this? thanks + best regards, juan pablo On Fri, Sep 23, 2022 at 5:01 PM Gary Kephart <gary_keph...@pobox.com> wrote: > Have you considered displaying excerpts along with the page name/link > for the ReferringPagesPlugin ?
