How the Conversion Works
Markdown → Line-by-line parse → Confluence wiki markupThe converter processes your Markdown document line by line, identifying block-level elements like headings, lists, code blocks, and tables. Each block element is then transformed into its Confluence wiki markup equivalent.
Step 1: Split input into lines and identify block elementsStep 2: Convert block syntax (headings, lists, code fences, tables)Step 3: Convert inline formatting (bold, italic, links, images, code)Step 4: Assemble the final Confluence wiki markup outputKey differences between Markdown and Confluence wiki markup:
- Headings use
h1.throughh6.instead of#symbols - Bold uses single
*asterisks*instead of double**asterisks** - Links use
[text|url]instead of[text](url) - Code blocks use
{code}macro instead of triple backticks
This tool processes everything client-side in your browser. No data is ever sent to a server, making it safe for sensitive documentation and internal content.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Confluence wiki markup?
Confluence wiki markup is a text formatting notation used in Atlassian Confluence. It uses its own syntax for headings (h1. through h6.), bold (*text*), italic (_text_), links ([text|url]), and other formatting. While similar to Markdown in concept, the specific syntax differs significantly, requiring conversion when moving content between systems.
What Markdown features does this converter support?
This converter handles headings (# through ######), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), fenced code blocks (```), links, images, ordered lists, unordered lists (including nested), blockquotes (>), horizontal rules (---), and tables with header rows. All conversion happens instantly in your browser.
Does this tool support GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?
Yes, this tool supports common GitHub Flavored Markdown extensions including fenced code blocks with language specification, strikethrough with double tildes (~~text~~), and tables with pipe syntax. Features like task lists and autolinks are not currently supported as they do not have direct Confluence wiki markup equivalents.
Is my data safe when using this converter?
Yes. All Markdown processing and conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your content is never sent to any server, stored, or logged. You can safely convert documentation containing sensitive information, internal links, or proprietary code snippets.
Can I convert Confluence wiki markup back to Markdown?
This tool currently supports one-direction conversion: Markdown to Confluence wiki markup. For the reverse direction (Confluence to Markdown), you would need a separate tool or Confluence export functionality. Atlassian Confluence also supports direct Markdown input in some contexts.
