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.

Mermaid gives Confluence teams access to 26 diagram types, all rendered from plain text inside a single macro. That breadth of choice is a strength, but it also raises a practical question: which diagram types should your team actually use, and when? Picking the wrong type makes documentation harder to read, not easier. This FAQ walks through every Mermaid diagram type, explains which ones matter most for software documentation, and helps you make the right call for each scenario.
