@rowan – I deleted most the text & tried wiki markup & it worked, so I knew
it was somewhere in the text. Reloading the page and doing a binary search
by deleting parts of the text got me to the offending line pretty quickly.
When I realized that simply pasting that single line would crash the page,
I examined it in the clipboard using Apple's sample project
clipboardviewer<http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/ClipboardViewer/Introduction/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40008825>and
found non-breaking spaces (C2 A0 hex) instead of normal spaces (20
hex). Mac users can recreate this problem by (1) making a new page and
entering {code}abc{code} into the Wiki Markup editor, flipping to Rich Text
editing, and adding more than 20 spaces in front of "abc" while holding
down the Option key. Don't add many more than 20, though. As you add more
than 20 non-breaking spaces, the flip between Rich Text & Wiki Markup gets
slower & slower in Chrome until (at ~30 spaces for me) it takes long enough
to crash the page. It turns out that it's a known bug in Confluence since
version 3.4 (CONF-20721 <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-20721>).
@dave – {code} is the right macro. Actually, {code:xml} would be prettier,
because it would syntax highlight the XML.
@everyone – The lesson: use {code:xml} (or {code:java}, etc.) all you want
on the wiki; however, if you're on a Mac, don't hold down the option key
when inserting spaces in your code blocks… at least not when entering more
than 20 consecutive spaces. :-)
@rowan – just delete the space in front of that one line and re-enter it as
normal spaces and you're page will work again.
Cheers,
-Burke
