It looks like they have enabled some of this under another ticket or accidentally fixed some of this. I can't nest a table within a table, but I can nest quite a bit in tables and numbered lists (excerpts, notes, include page, expand). If I could just nest expands in excerpts, I'd be thrilled.

Did you accidentally enable parts of this feature? Panels no longer jump outside of numbered lists. I stumbled onto that fact so I did some additional testing. I'm now able to nest notes, expands, and excerpts in addition to the usual actions, tables, code snippets, and images. I can also nest excerpts, expands, and include pages within tables, as well.

Is this on the roadmap to be fixed yet?

I initially decided to use numbered tables to help with this, however, you cannot include a table within a table (in Cloud) or an excerpt within a table, or the visibility add on within a table, and I am sure there are other things.

Sometimes within a step, I may need a table, or a panel, or an excerpt, or to hide some text, so the reality is, you need to do the steps outside of the table, and use the numbered lists.

Along with that though, I like mine to go:

1. Step

    [Image/table/panel/excerpt]

Where the item is lined up with the text, and not the number (like below)

1. Step

[item]

If we can get some traction on this, I imagine you would please a huge number of Technical Writers and Content Creators who love Confluence, but get frustrated with some of the formatting issues.

@Kristian Klima, no, I just want to be able to insert items in their own paragraph—with a hard return. This probably comes from 30+ years as a technical writer where I want to control spacing around images and whether images are included in my online help. Thinking about it, though, these needs are not important, since there is no way to control spacing in Confluence.

Thanks for pointing this out, even though this is just a workaround and not a fix of this defect.

@ d3f3775ebe0c , regarding your comment "My numbering and bullets still stop when I insert an image in a list."

When I insert an image to a list with a soft-return (shift-Enter), I can add an image and continue with the list. The image is then aligned with the text in the bullet/number item.

1. Lorem ipsum
   (on)Here be an image.
2. Dolor sit amet.
   Here be another image.
   • one
   • two
     Here be dragons... on an image.
   • three
3. Lorem gypsum
   Another image.

(the page is built with Scroll Viewport but the formatting is taken from Confluence)

It also works with lists nested in a list. 

Or do you want the image to be aligned with the Number/Bullet?

Kieran, where exactly is the ability to embed Media (images, video) in a list documented? It is not mentioned in the article you linked to. My numbering and bullets still stop when I insert an image in a list.

This suggestion has been open for 4 years. Please make a statement: Are there plans to develop this or will it remain a proposal for the next 4 years? Due to the forced cloud migration, we have to find at least an administrative solution, i.e. rebuild our content without macros within a numbered list, or wait until this is possible.

Hello,

Could we also bring back the option to nest tabs macros within themselves?

Thanks!

For my company's usage of Confluence as our process library, the inability to add panels (especially the note panel) and the expand macros in a numbered list is a pain point. We often add little "notes" or additional info to process documentation and currently just add as a sub-item within the text. Ideally we'd love to use panels or expand text boxes for this auxiliary info.
