Is Markdown Macro+ free?

Yes. Markdown Macro+ for Confluence is free on the Atlassian Marketplace.

How do I start using Markdown Macro+?

Type /markdown on any Confluence page and select Markdown Macro+ to insert the macro. Write in the left pane and check the preview on the right, then click Save.

What Markdown syntax is supported?

Standard Markdown plus GitHub-flavoured extensions (tables, task lists, strikethrough), KaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, emoji and syntax-highlighted code blocks.

Can I use math formulas in my content?

Yes. Write inline math between single dollar signs and block math between double dollar signs. It is rendered with KaTeX.

How does it handle images and attachments?

Use the attachment picker in the toolbar to insert images and files attached to the current page or anywhere on your Confluence site.

Are there any limitations?

Because of Atlassian's data egress policy, images and attachments must be uploaded to Confluence; external file URLs cannot be used. Very complex KaTeX expressions and tables with merged cells may not render perfectly.

Can I create templates for common content?

Yes. Admins can create reusable Markdown templates in the app's settings, for content like meeting notes or release notes. Variables such as {{date}}, {{date+7d}}, {{user.name}} and {{page.title}} are filled in when someone picks a template.

Can I edit a whole Confluence page in Markdown?

Yes. Click Edit with Markdown under the page title to open the page or blog post as Markdown, with a preview of the page beside it. Publishing saves native Confluence content, so the page still works in the Confluence editor. Content Markdown can't express, such as images and other apps' macros, is kept as it is.

How is Markdown Macro+ different from the other Markdown apps for Confluence?

Markdown Macro+ does both: a macro that keeps the Markdown source inside the page, and Edit with Markdown, which turns a whole page into Markdown and back to native Confluence content. It is free and runs on Atlassian Forge, so content stays in your Atlassian site. It does not pull Markdown from GitHub by URL, and images have to be Confluence attachments.

Which Yamuno app should I use for Markdown in Confluence?

Use Markdown Macro+ to write Markdown inside a page. Use Markdown Importer for Confluence to turn .md files, folders or a ZIP into Confluence pages, and Markdown Exporter for Confluence to export pages, page trees or spaces to .md files.

Markdown Macro+ for Confluence running inside Confluence

Why Confluence needs a Markdown macro

Confluence's editor understands a few Markdown shortcuts as you type, but a pasted Markdown document loses its tables, fenced code blocks and structure. Teams who write in Markdown end up reformatting everything or keeping two copies.

Markdown Macro+ adds a macro where you write Markdown on the left and see the rendered result on the right. Save, and the page shows the formatted content, while the Markdown source stays editable inside the macro.

For whole pages there is Edit with Markdown: open any page or blog post as Markdown, edit it beside a preview of the page, and publish it as native Confluence content. It can also start a new child page from Markdown.
