The Complete Guide to Converting Markdown to Confluence Wiki Markup

Learn how to seamlessly convert your Markdown documents to Confluence Wiki markup format. This comprehensive guide covers everything from basic usage to advanced formatting techniques and best practices for successful content migration.

Why Convert Markdown to Confluence?

Markdown has become the standard for technical documentation, README files, and content creation due to its simplicity and readability. However, many organizations use Confluence as their primary knowledge management platform. Converting Markdown to Confluence Wiki markup allows you to:

  • Migrate existing documentation to Confluence without manual reformatting
  • Maintain consistent formatting across both platforms
  • Leverage Markdown's simplicity while benefiting from Confluence's collaboration features
  • Automate content publishing workflows

💡 Pro Tip

Always preview your converted content in Confluence before publishing. While the conversion is highly accurate, some complex formatting may need minor adjustments.

How to Use This Tool

Simple 3-Step Process

Input Your Markdown

Paste your Markdown content or upload a .md file using the text input or file upload panel.

  • Supports all standard Markdown syntax
  • File size limit: 1MB
  • Accepts .md, .markdown, and .txt files

Automatic Conversion

The tool automatically converts your Markdown to Confluence Wiki markup in real-time.

  • Instant conversion as you type
  • Live preview of Confluence output
  • No server-side processing required

Copy & Paste

Copy the generated Confluence markup and paste it directly into your Confluence page.

  • One-click copy to clipboard
  • Download as .txt file
  • Ready to use in Confluence editor

Understanding the Conversion Process

Our converter transforms standard Markdown syntax into Confluence Wiki markup using a comprehensive mapping system. Here's what happens during conversion:

Text Formatting

Basic text formatting converts as follows:

  • **bold** becomes *bold*
  • *italic* becomes _italic_
  • ~~strikethrough~~ becomes -strikethrough-
  • `inline code` becomes {{inline code}}
  • > blockquote becomes bq. blockquote

Structure Elements

Document structure elements are mapped to Confluence equivalents:

  • # Header 1 becomes h1. Header 1
  • 1. Numbered list becomes # Numbered list
  • - Bullet point becomes * Bullet point
  • [Link](url) becomes [Link|url]
  • --- becomes ----

Advanced Elements

More complex elements like code blocks, tables, and images:

  • ```javascript becomes {code:javascript}
  • | Header | becomes ||Header||
  • ![alt text](image.png) becomes !image.png!

Best Practices for Successful Conversion

Before Converting

Prepare your Markdown for optimal conversion by following these steps:

  • •
    Clean up HTML tags: Remove unnecessary HTML elements that might interfere with conversion.
  • •
    Check heading hierarchy: Ensure logical H1 → H2 → H3 structure for proper navigation.
  • •
    Verify link URLs: Use absolute URLs for external references to ensure they work in Confluence.
  • •
    Test with samples: Start with small sections first to understand how your content converts.

After Converting

Review and validate your converted content with these checks:

  • •
    Preview in Confluence: Always test render before publishing to catch any formatting issues.
  • •
    Check table formatting: Verify alignment and cell structure, especially for complex tables.
  • •
    Test code highlighting: Ensure syntax highlighting works for all code blocks.
  • •
    Validate all links: Check both internal and external links to ensure they're working correctly.

Confluence-Specific Considerations

When working with Confluence, keep these platform-specific details in mind:

  • •
    Page Names & Spaces: Spaces in page names become dashes, which can affect internal linking.
  • •
    Macro Adjustments: Some complex macros may need manual fine-tuning after conversion.
  • •
    User Mentions: @mentions require specific Confluence formatting that differs from Markdown.
  • •
    Permissions: Ensure you have edit permissions for target pages before attempting to publish.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

Here are the most common issues users encounter and how to solve them:

  • •
    List Indentation Errors: Nested lists in Confluence require proper spacing. Ensure each sub-level has the correct number of * or # characters followed by a space.
  • •
    Underscores Parsed as Italics: When file names or variables contain _, wrap them in double braces like {{file_name}} to prevent misinterpretation.
  • •
    Table Width Issues: Confluence uses fixed column widths by default. For custom control, use {section} and {column} macros to manually set widths.
  • •
    Code Syntax Highlighting: Specify the language in the {code} macro, like {code:python} for proper syntax highlighting.
  • •
    Task Lists Not Supported: Confluence doesn't natively support - [ ] syntax. Consider using tables with checkboxes or third-party macros instead.
