Markdown Macro

The Markdown Macro lets you author your Confluence page using Markdown syntax. Your Markdown content will seamlessly appear on your Confluence page as if you had written it using Confluence’s editor.

To use this macro:

1. Type /markdown in your Confluence page.
   
   

2. Choose the “Markdown” option.
   
   

   Open

   

3. Pick which of the sources of Markdown you want to embed. We support direct entry, a file attached to the Confluence page, or a Remote URL.
   
   

   Open

   

    

4. Click the refresh icon next to the word Preview to see a preview of your content
   
   

Remote URL Support

We support embedding Markdown from the following sources:

• Any public URL

• Private Github Cloud Repositories

• Private Bitbucket Cloud Repositories

• Private GitLab Cloud Repositories

For private repository sources, we will ask the user who is viewing the Confluence page to oauth to the repository to ensure they have access to the file.
