CONFLUENCE → MARKDOWN

Three ways to convert Confluence content to Markdown

Choose paste, the Chrome extension, or HTML import depending on what the clipboard preserves.

Pick the quickest reliable route

  1. Copy the section you need and paste it into the editor. When Confluence supplies structured HTML, headings, lists, and tables become Markdown.
  2. If only plain text arrives, use MD.SAVE Quick Send to capture the selection or the readable page body.
  3. If you have a Confluence HTML export, open the `.html` file in the editor. UTF-8 files up to 2 MB are converted locally.

Review after conversion

  • Check tables with merged cells or layout-heavy formatting.
  • Verify protected attachments, images, and relative links in the destination.
  • Macros, dynamic widgets, and collapsed regions may not map to ordinary Markdown.
  • Use Document check for heading levels, empty links, and missing image descriptions.

When to stop retrying paste

If headings survive but the table becomes one tab-separated sentence, repeat paste will not restore missing clipboard structure. Capture the selection with Quick Send and compare the two previews. Merged cells and Confluence macros need a simpler table or a short prose explanation.

  • Make sure the first row still works as column labels.
  • Check that line breaks inside a cell did not become new rows.
  • Replace authenticated attachments before external sharing.

Name the archive for retrieval

Include the project and document job rather than copying a long page title. A name such as `packwink-adsense-review-2026-08.md` is easy to search. When one file combines several pages, keep each source URL and the date you verified it under the relevant section.

Privacy

Paste and HTML conversion happen in the current browser. Quick Send processes only the selection or page body you explicitly request.
