Is there a way to quickly mark a block as code? Because whatever nice feature it has are completely rendered irrelevant by this lack.

In Confluence you use the {code} macro.

Confluence's code blocks are hot garbage:

* Selecting a language on one code block changes the languages for other code blocks on the same page, sometimes. (I've not figured out the exact conditions on this one yet.)

* Whitespace is not preserved / rendered the same as the editor; we have several Confluence pages with YAML where the rendered version won't parse, but it looks fine in the editor.

Give me Markdown in git any day.

Dunno about all that but it doesn't support inline code snippets. You've gotta use formatted text, which doesn't look good. Seems like an intern project at best.

Or use markdown backticks e.g. ```

j / k navigate · click thread line to collapse
