Bash Helper
You can copy and paste this function into your shell profile (e.g., ~/.bashrc
) to give yourself a nifty helper. Just replace {workspace}
with the fully-qualified path to your Dendron workspace. You can also replace the fallback vault
value to whatever your default vault might be.
function publish-note-to-confluence() {
query="$1"
vault="${2:-vault}"
workspace="{workspace}"
dendron-cli publishPod --wsRoot "$workspace" --vault "$vault" \
--podId dendron.confluence --podPkg confluence-pod --podSource custom \
--configPath "${workspace}/pods/dendron.confluence/config.yml" \
--query "$query"
}
Configuration
Create the Pod configuration file in ./pods/dendron.confluence/config.yml
.
username: <your_email>
password: <your_api_key>
baseUrl: https://<your_organization>.atlassian.net
space: "~012345678" # e.g., "~[0-9]{9}"
parentPageId: "0123456789" # e.g., "[0-9]{10}"
includeNote: false
Option | Description | Default
--- | --- | ---
username | The username you use to log in to Confluence (typically your email) | required
password | An API Token you generated | required
baseUrl | The domain root for your Confluence installation | required
space | The reference to the space where you want to upload | required
parentPageId | The page under which all pages are published | None: uploads directly to the space.
includeNote | Whether or not to include an info panel at the top of the page indicating the page is exported from Dendron | false
Confluence Storage Format Support
Atlassian Confluence's Storage Format is XHTML based, which means that Dendron's built-in HTML processor gets us 95% of the way there. Where there are exceptions, this Pod leverages a custom unified plugin to re-process the HTML appropriately.
Format Type | Status --- | --- Basic HTML | ✅ Task Lists | 🚧 Link to Another Confluence Page | ✅ Attached Image | ✅ External Image | ✅ Image Attributes | 🚧
Limitations
- Exported notes do not include the Children or Backlink sections. This is something we'd like to support in the future however.
- All notes are published as children pages to your
parentPageId
. We do re-create your hierarchy. - This pod has only been tested on the Confluence Cloud.
Features
Cross-note Links
If you include a reference to another note that is also published to Confluence (i.e., the note has a pageId
in its frontmatter), then this pod should properly create an <ac:link>
to that page. Otherwise, this pod will leave the the <a>
tag alone and it should get stripped out by Confluence (leaving just the text).
Image Attachments
This pod will upload any referenced images from ./assets
as attachments and convert the <img>
element to <ac:image>
.
Info Block
If you set includeNote
in your config to true
, this pod will prepend an info block to the top of your page indicating that this note was exported from Dendron and that changes made to the page directly may be overwritten.
Debugging
The most likely bug you'll run into once you get things working is com.atlassian.confluence.api.service.exceptions.BadRequestException: Content body cannot be converted to new editor format
. This means that there's something in the HTML that Confluence doesn't like. This means that there's probably an edge case that I haven't caught (apologies).
