      Summary

      In order to embed a dynamic list of tweets using the Widget Connector Macro, it mentions that Twitter will provide an URL to insert in on the Widget Connector Macro. However, twitter provides and HTML code that you can only use using the HTML Macro.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. In Twitter, go to Settings > Widgets and create a widget to display the tweets you want to embed (for example, a user timeline, list of tweets or hashtag search).
      2. An HTML code will be generated instead of URL as mentioned in the Documentation: Widget Connector Macro.

      Expected Results

      To be able to use the HTML code you have to enable the HTML using in Confluence which can be insecure.

      Actual Results

      The Widget Macro is not able to handle the HTML code since it expects an URL.

      Workaround

      Use the HTML Macro to handle the HTML code provided by Twitter.
