Search and export

Confluence search

The Markdown inside each macro is indexed by Confluence, so searching for words in it finds the page. Changes made to a macro in Edit with Markdown update the index too.

Pages published with Edit with Markdown or New page from Markdown are normal Confluence content, so they are searchable like any other page.

PDF and Word export

When you export a page to PDF or Word from Confluence, each macro is exported as native Confluence content, so headings, lists, tables, task lists and code blocks come out as they would on any page.

In the macro	In the export
Callouts and ::: containers	Confluence panels, with any custom title in bold
[[toc]]	Confluence's Table of contents macro
:shortcode: emoji	The emoji character
Block math $$...$$	A code block with the LaTeX source
Inline math $...$	The LaTeX source as text
Mermaid diagrams	A code block with the diagram source
Images	A link to the image

If a macro can't be converted, the export shows its Markdown in a code block.

Each macro's exported content is wrapped in two invisible anchors. They don't show in the export; they let Markdown Importer for Confluence export the macro as its original Markdown when it exports a page to .md.
