The open internet is a great place to code, but sometimes you are sitting behind a great firewall in a corporate environment. Your are not allowed to just pull the hottest stuff from the internet, but have to go through an internal binary artifact repository like nexus or artifactory.

Asciidoctor-ConfluencePublisher is a command line tool that parse asciidoc files, generate confluence compatible html and upload the content and attachment to confluence.
This repo inspired by confluence-publisher
It requires Ruby 2.x. works for Confluence 6+.
The Confluence Publisher allows documentation written in AsciiDoc and versioned directly with the documented code base to be published to a Confluence space. It converts the resulting AsciiDoc HTML output to XHTML compatible with Confluence, manages included resources as Confluence attachments and ensures that only content modified since the last publication is again re-published.
The Confluence Publisher has been tested with Confluence 6.0.5
Supported Features
Currently, the Confluence Publisher supports the following AsciiDoc features:
- Pages
- Includes
- Sections
- Paragraphs
- Tables
- Images
- Listings
- Admonitions
- External Links
- PlantUML
- Attachments
- Table of Contents
- Additional Features
The Confluence Publisher uses AsciidoctorJ and therefore supports documentation written using the Asciidoctor syntax. See Asciidoctor User Manual for more information about Asciidoctor.
The primary goal of this project is to simplify the generation of an up-to-date RESTful API documentation by combining documentation that’s been hand-written with auto-generated API documentation produced by Swagger. The result is intended to be an up-to-date, easy-to-read, on- and offline user guide, comparable to GitHub’s API documentation. The output of Swagger2Markup can be used as an alternative to swagger-ui and can be served as static content.
NOTE: The Swagger Specification has been donated to to the Open API Initiative (OAI) and has been renamed to the OpenAPI Specification.
Swagger2Markup converts a Swagger JSON or YAML file into several AsciiDoc or GitHub Flavored Markdown documents which can be combined with hand-written documentation. The Swagger source file can be located locally or remotely via HTTP. Swagger2Markup supports the Swagger 1.2 and 2.0 specification. Internally it uses the official swagger-parser and my markup-document-builder.
You can use Swagger2Markup to convert your contract-first Swagger YAML file into a human-readable format and combine it with hand-written documentation. As an alternative, you can choose the code-first approach and use Swagger2Markup together with Swagger JAX-RS, springfox or spring-restdocs. If you are Gradle or Maven user, you can also use the Swagger2Markup Gradle Plugin or Swagger2markup Maven Plugin.
AsciiDoc is preferable to Markdown as it has more features. AsciiDoc is a text document format for writing documentation, articles, books, ebooks, slideshows, web pages and blogs. AsciiDoc files can be converted to HTML, PDF and EPUB. AsciiDoc is much better suited for describing public APIs than JavaDoc or Annotations.
You can generate your HTML5, PDF and EPUB documentation via asciidoctorj or even better via the asciidoctor-gradle-plugin or asciidoctor-maven-plugin.
The project requires at least JDK 8.
This page is a catalog of Asciidoctor extensions. In this context, an extension is a library that enriches the AsciiDoc content either by introducing new syntax or weaving additional features into the output. This differs from tool extensions, such as the Atom extension, which bring AsciiDoc support to the tool.
