I currently have a document type with a rich text editor field, and a couple of macros with content pickers which allow you to select these documents. The macros should then display the content in the RTE in some way.

This mostly works fine, however an exception gets thrown if the content in the RTE also contains a macro, i.e. I'm trying to render a macro inside another macro. The exception is only thrown inside the RTE though, and the macros appear to display on the actual site fine.

The exception is thrown when I try to get the property from the modelsbuilder class for the document type, or when I call Value() on the IPublishedContent instance for the node that contains the "inner" macro.

Is it possible to render macros like this in the RTE, or should this be avoided?

The stack trace for the exception is:

System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
