🔧 Key Features

Hierarchy Preservation

docs/
├── intro.md                    → Introduction
├── tutorial-basics/            → Tutorial Basics (parent)
│   ├── create-a-page.md       →   Create a Page
│   └── deploy-your-site.md    →   Deploy your site
└── advanced/                   → Advanced (parent)
    └── concepts/               →   Concepts (parent)
        └── deep-nested.md     →     Deep Nested Concepts

Internal Link Processing

Converts Docusaurus links to platform-specific URLs:

• ./sibling.md → https://domain.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPACE/pages/ID/Title
• ../parent.md → Platform URL with proper hierarchy
• /docs/absolute-path → Resolved absolute paths
• ./file.md#section → Anchor links preserved

Target Page Sync (Confluence Only)

Sync markdown files directly to specific Confluence pages:

# CLI flag method
docflu sync --file docs/my-doc.md --target 123456
docflu sync --file docs/my-doc.md --target "https://domain.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/123456/Page+Title"

---
title: My Document
confluence_target: 123456
---

# My Document
Content will sync to page ID 123456.

Supported URL formats:

• Page ID: 123456
• Modern URL: https://domain.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/123456/Page+Title
• Legacy URL: https://domain.atlassian.net/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=123456
• Display URL: https://domain.atlassian.net/display/DOC/Page+Title?pageId=123456

Comprehensive Diagram Support

Automatically converts diagrams to high-quality SVG images:

Mermaid (flowcharts, sequence, class, state, ER, journey, gantt)

graph TD
    A[Start] --> B{Decision}
    B -->|Yes| C[Action]
    B -->|No| D[End]

PlantUML (UML diagrams, architecture, sequence)

@startuml
Alice -> Bob: Hello
Bob -> Alice: Hi there
@enduml

Graphviz/DOT (directed graphs, network diagrams)

digraph G {
    A -> B -> C;
    A -> C;
}

D2 (modern declarative diagrams)

server -> database: query
database -> server: result

Image & Diagram Features

• Local images: Uploaded as Confluence attachments
• Diagram conversion: Code blocks → High-quality SVG images
• Confluence compatibility: 100% compatibility score with proper backgrounds
• Professional formatting: Center-aligned with enhanced styling
• Bidirectional sync: Original code preserved in metadata
• Auto-installation: CLI tools installed automatically
• Error handling: Graceful fallback to code blocks if processing fails
