Need diagram tools for Confluence without paying for a large team? NGPILOT's three diagramming apps — Mermaid Plus, Excalidraw Plus, and Graphviz Charts — are all free for up to 10 users. This guide compares them so you can pick the right free diagram plugin for your Confluence.
Confluence's native code block macro renders JSON as plain text with no real formatting, no themes, and no copy button. There are two purpose-built apps that fix this, and each serves a different JSON display need:
This guide compares the two so you can pick the right one for each page.
Confluence is great for documentation, but it has no built-in FAQ macro or Q&A tool. If you need FAQ pages, knowledge bases, or community-style Q&A in Confluence, NGPILOT offers two purpose-built apps.
Many teams have documentation in Markdown format (GitHub READMEs, API docs, developer guides) and need to bring it into Confluence. Confluence doesn't have a native Markdown import feature, but there are three ways to get Markdown content into Confluence pages.
Confluence's built-in code block macro is limited — it supports roughly 30 languages, has no dark theme, and lacks basic features like copy buttons and collapsible sections. If your team writes documentation with code snippets, you need something better.
This guide shows how to add a VS Code-grade code editor to Confluence with syntax highlighting for 85+ languages, automatic dark/light theme detection, and one-click copy buttons.
Adding diagrams to Confluence pages helps teams communicate architecture, processes, and workflows visually. This guide covers the three main approaches to creating diagrams in Confluence and helps you choose the right tool for your needs.
Confluence has a visual table editor, but it's slow for creating structured tables — you need to click to add rows and columns one at a time. If you write documentation in Markdown, you can create tables much faster with Markdown syntax.
This guide shows how to create, format, and edit tables in Confluence using Markdown.
No, Confluence does not support Mermaid diagrams natively. There is no built-in macro or feature that renders Mermaid syntax in Confluence pages. To add Mermaid diagrams to Confluence, you need a Marketplace app.
This guide covers how to set up Mermaid in Confluence and which diagram types you can create.
Confluence Markdown support lets developers write documentation in their preferred format. This guide covers how to add Enhanced Markdown to Confluence for raw Markdown editing, WYSIWYG preview, tables, code blocks, and more.
Confluence ships with a fixed set of system fonts. For most teams that works fine, but if your company has brand guidelines, an accessibility requirement for specific typefaces, or simply wants documentation that looks polished and professional, the default typography falls short.
The Atlassian Marketplace now offers several apps that let you use custom fonts on your Confluence pages. But with different feature sets, pricing models, and levels of maturity, choosing the right one takes more than a quick glance at star ratings.
This post compares the leading Confluence custom font apps side by side so you can make an informed decision for your team.
