I have a Ruby script that writes stdin content to a page via SOAP:

jturner@psyche:/tmp/bugdemo$ echo "h1. Test page" | ./publish.rb -p "Installed Confluence plugins"
warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session
jturner@psyche:/tmp/bugdemo$

This works fine, but when the content contains a

macro, Confluence breaks:

jturner@psyche:/tmp/bugdemo$ echo "

" | ./publish.rb -p "Installed Confluence plugins"
warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session
./confluence4r.rb:38:in `method_missing': java.lang.Exception: org.springframework.transaction.UnexpectedRollbackException: Transaction rolled back because it has been marked as rollback-only (RuntimeError)
from ./confluencepage.rb:19:in `<<'
from ./publish.rb:25
jturner@psyche:/tmp/bugdemo$

On the server I get a stacktrace:
