Due to limitation in the Mobile App, non-static macros do not work well and this plugin is dynamic and interactive, so some features do not work in the Mobile app.
However in the Mobile Browser, support is better and all features of the plugin work, however depending on the mobile browser may or may not render very well.
Tips for use:
1. Ensure you have installed the Confluence Mobile plugin, in your Confluence Server.
2. You may need to add the follow line to the Custom HTML HEAD section in the Administration area:
