Import Markdown into Confluence: Paste, GitHub, .md Files
· 3 min read
Every team has Markdown lying around that Confluence needs: the README that became the service doc, the design doc drafted as a pull-request description, the runbook that lives in the repo. And every attempt to move it hits the same wall — Confluence's default editor does not parse Markdown. Paste a .md document and you get a wall of pipes, backticks, and asterisks that looks exactly like what it is: text nobody formatted.
The macro route dissolves the wall. Paste the document into a Markdown macro that actually parses it, watch it render in the preview pane, publish. This page is the workflow, end to end.
