Publish complex xhtml report to confluence using REST API

[Anil Kummari]

Hi ,

I have a complex  xhtml file with css styling. When i try to publish it to confluence python REST api  i'm seeing 'Error parsing xhtml'. Tried to validate in w3c html validator i see many errors in the document. So, upon converting to html5 , i was able to publish the document but the styling is not applied properly. It would be great if i can publish the html content with perfect rendering in the confluence. Any pointers would be helpful

Sample python code :

 payload = json.dumps(

    {

    "type": "page",

    "title": page_title,

    "ancestors": [{"id":parent_page_id}],

    "space": {"key":space_key},

    "body": {

        "storage":{

            "value": html_content, 

            "representation": "storage"

        }

    }

} )

    response=requests.post(url,headers=headers,data=payload,auth=auth)

Confluence is not a full HTML based web server, it uses its own internal format knows as ADF. You can't expect that any CSS thrown to Confluence will just work.

I am quite sure that you need to transform the HTML a bit to match the requirements of Confluence.

I've converted xhtml to html5 which works perfectly fine on the browser. But CSS styling is not rendered when i view the same html5 on confluence which was created using the REST API. @Aron Gombas _Midori_

is there any workaround so that i can get CSS styling on  confluence page?
