Obsidian Mode & Panel Style

Obsidian Mode

Enabling Obsidian mode converts internal Confluence page links to [[wikilink]] format, making exported files immediately compatible with Obsidian and other wiki-style tools.

Standard Export (Obsidian mode off)

Internal links are rendered as relative Markdown paths:

See [Installation Guide](./getting-started/installation-guide.md) for details.

Obsidian Export (Obsidian mode on)

Internal links become wikilinks using the page title:

See [[Installation Guide]] for details.

Obsidian resolves these automatically against your vault, so the exported files work without any manual link editing.

Tip: For best results with Obsidian, also set your filename pattern to {title} (the default) so filenames match the wikilink targets exactly.


Panel / Callout Style

Confluence has info, warning, note, success, and tip panels. The Panel / Callout Style setting controls how these are rendered in exported Markdown.

Callout (GitHub / Obsidian) — Default

Renders panels as GitHub-style callouts, which are also natively supported by Obsidian:

> [!NOTE]
> This is an informational note.

> [!WARNING]
> Be careful with this step.

> [!TIP]
> Here's a helpful tip.

Callout types map as follows:

Confluence panel Callout type
Info [!INFO]
Note [!NOTE]
Warning [!WARNING]
Success / Tip [!TIP]
Error [!CAUTION]

Blockquote

Renders all panels as standard Markdown blockquotes, compatible with any Markdown renderer:

> **Note:** This is an informational note.

> **Warning:** Be careful with this step.

Plain Text

Strips the panel formatting entirely and renders only the inner content as regular text. Useful when the target renderer doesn't support blockquotes or callouts.
