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 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.
Confluence does not have a built-in Markdown editor. The native editor is WYSIWYG only — you can't write in Markdown syntax. But many developers and technical teams prefer Markdown for documentation.
This tutorial shows how to add Markdown editing to Confluence so you can write in Markdown and have it render as standard Confluence content.
