Using a macro to insert Wiki Markup

[Jonathan Lake]

Hi, as a newbie to Confluence user macros and to Wiki Markup, I am trying to create a user macro which would display a image based menu within the page.

I can do it manually for each menu item using an excellent user macro (which I didn't create) called image-rollover. The Wiki Markup is:

{image-rollover:https://address.domain.com/download/thumbnails/36112712/windy.png|https://address.domain.com/download/thumbnails/36112712/windsock.png|36113221|_self}

What I would like to do is to maintain multiple lines like this, each using different images and containing a different pageid. Then allow editors to simply insert the macro to the top of a page.

My theory is that the menu in each page would be dynamically updated if the parent user macro was updated, but I haven't been successful in creating a user macro that works, even for a single menu item.

Here is the link to the image-rollover macro: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DISC/Image+rollover

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

I solved it, and here is what I did:

## Macro title: Information Security Menu

## Macro has a body: Y
