How To Paste Markdown Into Confluence

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to paste Markdown into a Confluence code block.

Quick summary

Confluence does not natively render Markdown, but you can preserve formatting by pasting content into a Code Snippet block set to Plain Text. This three-step method lets you display Markdown source cleanly inside any Confluence page without losing structure.


Steps

  1. Type /code in the Confluence editor and select "Code Snippet" to insert a formatted code block.
  2. Click "Select language" and choose "Plain Text" from the dropdown menu to disable syntax highlighting.
  3. Paste your Markdown content inside the code block to display it exactly as written.

📌 Why this matters

Confluence lacks built-in Markdown rendering, which means pasting Markdown directly into a page often results in broken formatting and unreadable syntax. Using a Code Snippet block set to Plain Text lets teams preserve and share Markdown content cleanly inside Confluence without any special plugins or workarounds. This approach is especially valuable for engineering and documentation teams who write in Markdown but collaborate with stakeholders on Confluence. It keeps knowledge bases accurate, readable, and consistently formatted across the entire organization.
