markdown-to-confluence
Publish Markdown files to Confluence wiki
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive MIT license, and solves a real problem—automating Markdown-to-Confluence publishing. Install friction is low. The broad feature set (tables, code blocks, diagrams, admonitions) covers most documentation needs. Optional diagram rendering requires external tools but doesn't block basic use. Suitable for teams needing to bridge Markdown and Confluence workflows.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Confluence API token and valid domain/space credentials.
- Optional diagram rendering features (draw.io, Mermaid, PlantUML) need external command-line tools and Java installed separately.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.

What it is and what it does
This package automates the tedious task of replicating Markdown documentation from version control systems into Confluence wiki. It parses Markdown, converts it to Confluence Storage Format (XHTML), and uploads the result via Confluence REST API v2, including images as attachments. The tool handles a broad range of Markdown features—sections, text formatting, links, lists, code blocks, tables, footnotes, and admonitions—plus optional rendering of draw.io, Mermaid, and PlantUML diagrams into images before upload.
Configuration is straightforward: set Confluence domain, API token, space key, and username either as environment variables or runtime arguments. The package uses HTTP Basic authentication or scoped API tokens. It requires Python 3.10 or later and has ten runtime dependencies (markdown, lxml, requests, orjson, pyyaml, cattrs, pymdown-extensions, pathspec, truststore, typing-extensions). Optional features like diagram rendering require external tools (Java, Graphviz, draw.io, mermaid-cli, PlantUML, or Matplotlib), but the core Markdown-to-Confluence conversion works without them.
Use it for
- Automatically sync project README and documentation from GitHub/GitLab to Confluence during CI/CD pipelines
- Batch-publish multiple Markdown files to Confluence spaces without manual copy-paste
- Keep Confluence documentation in sync with version-controlled Markdown sources to prevent drift
- Convert Markdown diagrams (Mermaid, PlantUML, draw.io) to images and embed them in Confluence pages
- Publish technical specifications written in Markdown to company wikis accessible to non-VCS users

PyYAML parses and emits YAML 1.1 data format, enabling serialization and deserialization of configuration files and Python objects to and from human-readable YAML text.
A Python markdown parser that converts markdown to HTML following the CommonMark specification, with support for plugins and custom syntax rules.
Install it if you need reliable markdown-to-HTML conversion.
Beautiful Soup parses HTML and XML documents into a navigable tree, providing Pythonic methods to search, iterate, and modify the parsed content.
Install it if you need to parse or extract data from markup documents.
et_xmlfile writes large XML files with minimal memory overhead by serializing elements to disk as they are created, rather than holding the entire tree in memory.
Install it if incremental XML writing fits your use case; skip it if your XML documents are small or you already use lxml.
