Oops, I meant "Confluence excerpts". https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/biz.artemissoftware.confluence.multiexcerpt.MultiExcerptMacro So here's my question in a form that might make sense: Am I right that at the moment, the best FM-to-Confluence flow would be: 1) use MIF2Go to export Confluence 4 XHTML from FM 2) import the output into Confluence one page at a time 3) manually muck with each page to convert the conditional text to Confluence excerpts? If there's an easier flow for converting conditional-text-rich FM files into Confluence, I'd really appreciate someone describing it. Cheers Rebecca >>> Robert Lauriston <rob...@lauriston.com> 27/11/12 05:34 >>> What are "Confluence extracts"?

We're not MIF2Go users but if it supported bulk export to Confluence 4, we'd become users in a flash. If it could roundtrip, I'd be over the moon. Jeremy, I don't want to ask you to put your time into unproductive stuff, but if you could describe how MIF2Go's Confluence export handles conditional text, I'd appreciate it. Am I right that at the moment, the best flow would be: 1) use MIF2Go to export Confluence 4 XHTML from FM 2) import the output into Confluence one page at a time 3) manually muck with each page to convert the conditional text to Confluence extracts We'd quite like to move to Confluence 4 for its collaborative work environment, but we'd have to convert 10K pages of conditional-text-rich content. That's extremely offputting. Thanks for all the info in this thread; it's been very informative. Cheers Rebecca >>> "Jeremy H.

It doesn't make sense to add it to Mif2Go except as a separate program anyway, like the other many free utilities that come with it. And frankly, it doesn't make sense for us to spend that much engineering time to benefit only the five Mif2Go users who care about Confluence at all... ;-) Of course, if they don't support their own CLI, what are the odds the APIs work? Not good, I'd say, which may be why nobody has done a batch import utility yet. >Confluence 4 can export a space to several formats, but not to the >documented XHTML storage format. Does Frame import any of them itself? You'd lose a lot, and have to completely redo the markup; that's why we advise adding such content by hand (copy/paste as PLAIN TEXT only) to the existing Frame files. It saves a lot of time over a complete redo of formats, markers, and conditions. You'd think re-import would save time, but you'd be very wrong. ;-) Thanks again for helping us to get the XHTML format right; that was also a lot of engineering, and it would have been much more without your critical eye on the testing. -- Jeremy H.
