Environment Variables

For best practice we recommend you authenticate using an API token.

However, you may also use Personal Access Tokens, which may help if your company uses SSO.

• CONFLUENCE_USERNAME - username for Confluence Cloud. When using API tokens set this to your full email.
• CONFLUENCE_PASSWORD - API token or password for Confluence Cloud
• CONFLUENCE_ENDPOINT - endpoint for Confluence Cloud, eg https://mycompanyname.atlassian.net/wiki
• CONFLUENCE_ACCESS_TOKEN - Bearer access token to use (instead of API token)

Examples

Upload a local directory of markdown files called markdown-files to Confluence.

markdown2confluence \
  --space 'MyTeamSpace' \
  markdown-files

Upload the same directory, but only those modified in the last 30 minutes. This is particurlarly useful for cron jobs/recurring one-way syncs.

markdown2confluence \
  --space 'MyTeamSpace' \
  --modified-since 30 \
  markdown-files

Upload a single file

markdown2confluence \
  --space 'MyTeamSpace' \
  markdown-files/test.md

Upload a directory of markdown files in space MyTeamSpace under the parent page API Docs

markdown2confluence \
  --space 'MyTeamSpace' \
  --parent 'API Docs' \
  markdown-files

Upload a directory of markdown files in space MyTeamSpace under a nested parent page Docs/API and exclude mardown files/directories that match .*generated.* or .*temp.md

markdown2confluence \
  --space 'MyTeamSpace' \
  --parent 'API/Docs' \
  --exclude '.*generated.*' \
  --exclude '.*temp.md' \
   markdown-files

Upload a directory of markdown files in space MyTeamSpace under the parent page API Docs and use the markdown document-title instead of the filname as document title (if available) in Confluence.

markdown2confluence \
  --space 'MyTeamSpace' \
  --parent 'API Docs' \
  --use-document-title \
   markdown-files

Enhancements

It is possible to insert Confluence macros using fenced code blocks. The "language" for this is CONFLUENCE-MACRO, exactly like that in all-caps. Here is an example for a ToC macro using all headlines starting at Level 2:

    # Title

    ```CONFLUENCE-MACRO
    name:toc
    schema-version:1
      minLevel:2
    ```

    ## Section 1

In general almost all macros should be possible. The general syntax is:

    ```CONFLUENCE-MACRO
    name:Name of Macro
    schema-version:Schema Version (use `1`)
      attribute:Value of Attribute
      parameter-name:Value of Parameter
      next-parameter:Value of Parameter
    ```

So a fully fledged macro could look like:

    ```CONFLUENCE-MACRO
    name:toc
    schema-version:1
      maxLevel:5
      minLevel:2
      exclude:Beispiel.*
      style:none
      type:flat
      separator:pipe
    ```

Which will translate to:

<ac:structured-macro ac:name="toc" ac:schema-version="1" >
  <ac:parameter ac:name="maxLevel">5</ac:parameter>
  <ac:parameter ac:name="minLevel">2</ac:parameter>
  <ac:parameter ac:name="exclude">Beispiel.*</ac:parameter>
  <ac:parameter ac:name="style">none</ac:parameter>
  <ac:parameter ac:name="type">flat</ac:parameter>
  <ac:parameter ac:name="separator">pipe</ac:parameter>
</ac:structured-macro>
