For me Confluence dramatically improved in experience when I learned that it's possible to write files locally using $FAVORITE_EDITOR in confluencewiki format (or markdown if you don't care about macros) and post them through API.
- clhodapp 5y agoCan you share anything more about your technique? As far as I know, Confluence hasn't supported a markup format natively for several years. I've found some tricks to allow me to author stuff in Markdown but it seems to come with a lot of limitations which ultimately mean that I have to start using the web editor as soon as I want to start collaborating with others.
- DocTomoe 5y agoIn Confluence Editor, under the Macro "Plus" button, you should find an entry called "Markup" pretty far up the list, which accepts "Confluence Wiki" Markup (which is just Markdown + Macros). This works for both on-premise as well as cloud instances.
- VTimofeenko 5y agoI wrote a tool that automates the posting part[1]. Unfortunately I could not solve the collaboration problem either. Setting the body of the page overwrites it. I did see some examples of editing HTML through similar approach but never tried it myself. [1]: https://github.com/VTimofeenko/confluence_poster https://github.com/VTimofeenko/confluence_poster
