    Description

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      It would be nice to be able to disable emoticons at either the space level or the page level. We have a space to put the documentation of servers. Each server gets it's own page. When we enter certain pieces of data through wiki markup such as hardware MAC address we get emoticons in the displayed page. Currently as a work around we are using a dummy anchor to prevent the rendering of the emoticon like so:

      this:
      00:10:18:32:D8:B9
      becomes:
      00:10:18:32:{anchor:dummy}D8:B9
      

      Even if this gets changed to be escaped by a backslash people still have to take the time to track down every instance of situational characters that cause emoticons to be unintentionally rendered and manually escape them. In this situation it is also not possible to disable emoticons globally as there are other spaces that are used by people who will use emoticons to liven up their pages.

      What would be really nice is to have the ability to put something like:

      {disable:emoticons}
      

      At the top of a page which would tell the parser to just not pass this page through the emoticon renderer. I think that would be the best most granular solution. If that were not possible then maybe adding an option to a space that would disable parsing emoticons on any page within that space would also work. With the latter scenario you would have to divide your spaces into business/technical and more freeform communications. Hopefully one of these ideas are possible in the distant future.
