Where Confluence wiki markup works

Confluence wiki markup is the text format Confluence Data Center, Server, and Jira parse natively. Writing in Markdown and converting on export keeps your source files in git while your team reads them in Confluence.

How your Markdown maps to Confluence wiki markup

Every Markdown element maps to its wiki markup equivalent, and the Markdown to Confluence conversion is tested against real technical documents with heavy code and math.

Code blocks become code macros

Fenced code blocks convert to {code:language=...} macros with the language tag preserved, so syntax highlighting works in Confluence.

Tables and links convert cleanly

GFM tables map to ||header|| and |cell| rows; [text](url) links become [text|url]. Nested lists keep their depth.

LaTeX math passes through untouched

$$ blocks and inline $...$ formulas are detected and left verbatim — spacing commands, matrix line breaks, and escaped braces survive, so a math macro on the Confluence side can render them.

Headings, quotes, and rules map 1:1

# headings become h1. – h6., blockquotes become {quote} blocks, horizontal rules become ----. The document structure is preserved line for line.

Markdown to Confluence FAQ

These answers cover Markdown to Confluence wiki markup output, code macros, math handling, and Confluence Cloud compatibility.

How do I convert Markdown to Confluence wiki markup?

Paste your Markdown into the editor or upload a .md file. The wiki markup preview appears in the output panel as you type. To get the output, click Convert & Download — it saves the markup as a .txt file in your conversion history. This requires signing in and uses credits; see the pricing page for details.

What format does this tool output?

Confluence wiki markup — the text syntax Confluence Data Center, Server, and the legacy editor parse (h1. headings, *bold*, {code} macros, ||table|| rows). It is the same markup family Jira uses in descriptions and comments.

Does the output work in Confluence Cloud?

Partially. The Confluence Cloud new editor removed the Insert > Markup option, so you cannot paste wiki markup into it. Wiki markup works in Data Center, Server, the Cloud legacy editor, and Jira. If you are on the Cloud new editor, paste your Markdown directly — it auto-converts most syntax on paste.

How are code blocks converted from Markdown to Confluence?

Fenced code blocks become {code:language=...} macros. The language identifier after the opening fence (```python, ```js) is carried into the macro, so Confluence applies the right syntax highlighting. Blocks without a language tag become {code:language=text}.

What happens to LaTeX math formulas?

They pass through byte-for-byte. The converter detects $$ blocks and inline $...$ before conversion and restores them verbatim afterwards, so spacing commands like \, and matrix line breaks \\ are not mangled. Confluence has no built-in math rendering — pair the output with a LaTeX macro app on your instance.

Are Markdown tables supported when converting MD to Confluence?

Yes. GitHub-flavored Markdown tables convert to Confluence table markup: header rows become ||header|| cells and body rows become |cell| rows. Column alignment syntax is dropped, since wiki markup tables do not support it.
