How AI Enhances Formatting with 4 New Native Confluence Macros

[#1]

AI formatting with Morph works best when it understands and supports the full range of tools available in Confluence. While Morph has always worked with our own Content Formatting Toolkit macros such as tabs, expanders, and panels, some types of content remained unformatted simply because the right native macro wasn’t supported.

To address this, we’ve expanded Morph’s capabilities to work with 4 widely-used native Confluence macros: Date, Quote, Divider, and Table. This makes AI-powered formatting more versatile, accurate, and aligned with how teams structure their content.

1. Table Macro

Tables are ideal for structured content, comparisons, and repeated information. Morph identifies when information would be clearer in rows and columns.

• How Morph analyzes the text:

Morph looks for repeated items, parallel descriptions, or sets of data that would be easier to compare side-by-side.

For example, if you’re comparing different plans with features and pricing: Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C.

Morph can suggest turning this into a table, aligning the plans, features, and prices into neat columns. This way, readers can compare options at a glance instead of scanning through multiple lines of text.

• Example: 

Morph can recognize the repeated structure across each initiative: Date, Event, Participants, Outcome, Key Metrics and suggest a Table macro. Converting this paragraph into a table creates a clean, scannable view, making complex data immediately digestible and highlighting actionable insights.

2. Date Macro

The Date macro makes time-related content instantly clear. You’ll find the macro in Confluence reports like page properties, content reports, and more. Manually adding the maro repeatedly can take you so much time.

• How Morph analyzes the text:

Morph looks for inline dates or references. You may write “The event will take place on Friday August 15”. This is a clear indication for Morph to include the macro.

• Example: 

Morph scans the text and retrieves all the inline dates suggesting the Date macro for each one to make them visually distinct and easy to track at a glance.

3. Quote Macro

The Quote macro highlights important citations. It draws attention to the content you want readers to notice first.

• How Morph analyzes the text:

Morph looks for text that is meant to stand out, such as testimonials, tips, or important notes. You may write something like: “Morph completely transformed how we format our Confluence pages. What used to take hours now takes minutes!” This kind of content signals to Morph that it should be highlighted, prompting it to suggest the Quote macro.

• Example: 

Morph detects the distinct sentence styled as a testimonial or key insight and suggest the Quote macro, while leaving the surrounding context intact to preserve flow and readability.

4. Divider Macro 

Dividers break up content and make pages easier to scan. A horizontal line can clarify sections without additional explanations.

• How Morph analyzes the text:

Morph looks for natural breaks in your content such as paragraphs or long blocks of text that might overwhelm the reader. For example, if you write a page with sections on “Onboarding Steps,” “Training Resources,” and “FAQs” Morph can suggest a divider between each section to visually separate them. This helps readers scan the page easily and quickly understand where one topic ends and the next begins.

This is only the start. Going forward we're aiming to include more macros either native to Confluence or from our new macros in Content Formatting Toolkit.
