How do I convert Confluence pages to Markdown?▼

Converting Confluence to Markdown preserves formatting by extracting page content and reformatting it as clean Markdown files. Run confluence-to-md.py with your Confluence URL or paste the URL in interactive mode to generate timestamped output files maintaining lists, images, diagrams, code blocks, and tables.

Does Confluence to Markdown conversion handle embedded images and diagrams?▼

Can I preserve nested lists and code blocks when converting from Confluence?▼

Nested list and code block preservation is built into the conversion. The tool maintains hierarchy in bullet structures and keeps code blocks formatted as Markdown code fences, ensuring your documentation structure transfers cleanly.
