There are two different page editors in Cloud: the new editor and Legacy. You have to choose them when you create a page you may see the error "Nested third-party macros are not supported inside MultiExcerpts" or something similar if you attempt to do any of the following
3rd party macros/plugins for Confluence Cloud are rendered using the Confluence Connect framework.
There are many limitations for Connect macros, especially in the areas of nesting and styling.

Therefore, users often mistakenly think that a 3rd party macro is broken with it is actually running into some limitation of Connect.
Here is a list of some of the nesting issues that we have encountered with Connect macros:
The Inline macro is limited to 300px wide. Please see MEPOD-49 - Getting issue details... STATUS
