Turn off auto-formatting when using markdown in confluence pages

[FranckVachon]

Hey,

So as an habit I write stuff in markdown. The issue I have is that when doing that while writting confluence pages,  if I write:

# some title

Then I see the markup applied directly, and the markdown stuff disappears. I'm sure some people like, but I find it rather annoying and prefer to see the markdown as markdown and have it only applied when I publish/save the page.

I know I can copy-paste from another editor - but then that makes the confluence editor kinda useless and makes the process less useful than it should be.

So any way to turn off this auto-applying of the formatting when using markdown?

@FranckVachon I do not know of or see any way to do that with Confluence Cloud.  My guess is that you cannot.   I did find this feature request which I believe is what you are asking for.  I would suggest voting for it https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-68272

Yup indeed that's pretty much it. Upvoted it, but since it was openend in 2019 I'm not going to hold my breath!
