Convert LaTeX inline to native LaTeX

Federico Viviani

Hello community,

After carrying out a Server to Cloud migration, I tried to convert LaTeX inline formula to the native Latex offered in the Cloud version.

I managed to test it using a script, and the conversion itself was successful. However, when trying to edit a converted formula from the Confluence UI, after left-clicking on the Edit button I get:

"Macro configuration failed to load. Please close this panel and try again."

Also, I don't think there is any external/approved tool to do this, but of course correct me if I'm wrong.

Thank you and BR,

Federico

Hello everyone,

I have resolved the issue with direct support from Bertly.

The approach editing pages via script and API was correct, but something in the XML body was missing for full compatibility.

Thanks,

Federico

Hello,

Welcome to cloud - I do not believe there is any native LaTeX in cloud are you using a 3rd party app? It sounds like you need the macro (ie a 3rd party vendor app)to make it work in cloud. Do you know who you used on Server?

Thanks

Hi @Federico Viviani

Welcome to the community.

LaTeX isn't native to Confluence on Cloud and on Server/DC.

This can only be accomplished by using a 3rd party app from the Atlassian Marketplace.

So you require an app, also see this parter created community article; How-to-use-LaTeX-math-formulas-math-equations-in-Confluence

As far as I understand what I am referring to as native LaTeX is a Atlassian-provided /latex macro, which we did not have in the Server version.

On the contrary, the "LaTeX inline" which I'm referring to is 3rd party which we are paying for, and we'd like to maek it converge to the Atlassian-provided one I'm referring to above.

Hi @Federico Viviani

Atlassian doesn't provide a LaTeX macro.

This is the list of ootb macros in Confluence, Macros-available-in-the-editor

Thera are only 3rd party options.

In your DC there probably also was a LaTeX 3rd party installed, but this doesn't mean these 3rd party app align.

You will need to recreate the formulas in the new 3rd party app in Cloud.

Federico Viviani

Yes that's right, it's not an ootb macro, it's just one LaTeX app to another.

So, referring to my original request, I'm trying to migrate from one app Macro to another, but the issue remains regardless. Do you have experience with such use case using the API?

As far as I understood, editing something via API makes in generally uneditable using the UI later, but I did not find anything official about this.

Thanks and BR,

Federico

Hi @Federico Viviani,

Based on your comments, it looks like you are trying to convert or migrate a LaTeX app from Server to Cloud.

Our app, LaTeX Math for Confluence, supports migration and conversion from other apps. You can check the migration guide here.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Federico Viviani

Thanks for your answer, but your app is not the one I'm targeting migration to

Nar Kumar C_ - Narva Software

I see, in that case there is unfortunately not an easy way to do the migration.

We have added custom migration path into our app, so I shared it thinking that you are still in discovery phase.

Hi @Nar Kumar C_ - Narva Software

A app is uesd in DC, but another app is now used in Cloud.

I tried to explain @Federico Viviani that you can't simply migrate between apps from different vendors. The vendors would need to support this.

He thinks that LaTeX used in an app from vendor A works the same as in the app from Vendor B, this won't fly.
