Publishing markdown, with images, to Confluence

[angelotrivelli]

Super excited to see that it's possible to publish to Confluence. It works for me except for one huge show-stopper, images.

Looking at the docs under 'Content Limitations', it says:

The confluence-html format supports nearly all of the standard Quarto markdown content types, including tables, callouts, and cross references.

However, there is currently no support for Citations, Videos, Diagrams, Tabsets, or Equations. In the future, we may add these features if there is a Confluence equivalent that can support the functionality.

It doesn't say anything about images?

I was hoping that quarto publish confluence would just upload the images I referenced in the markdown and somehow finagle the image url when it lands in confluence. It does shows up in preview, but sadly not in the confluence page.

Is there a clever way to get around this?

You are actually correct - Confluence publishing should be uploading the images for you (it sometimes takes a minute or two for the image to available at the final URL in confluence, so you may see a placeholder for a minute or two the first time a page containing an image is deployed).

Oops! I was too impatient, it does work!

In practice, many folks are seeing this delay as a bug while Confluence is preparing the newly uploaded image attachments.

I've created this issue to make this a better experience given our limitations. We could provide better messaging in the CLI log potentially that may help.
