Incompatible macros when nested within Composition Cloud's Tab and Tab Group macros

Many Confluence macros do not work properly when nested within a Tab or Tab Group macro.

This KB is for the Tab Group / Tab macros. If you're looking for compatible macros within the newer Tabs Macro, refer to the Tabs documentation (with an 's').

Environment

Confluence Cloud

Cause

Due to limitations with Confluence Cloud's live editor, nested macros no longer work as before. What this means for Composition is that many macros do not function as intended when nested within either a Tab or Tab Group macro.

Resolution

A solution is forthcoming.

In the meantime, the following is a list of compatible and incompatible macros:
