Confluence Wiki markup styler plugin

Question

Hi, I'm wondering what happened to the Confluence Wiki Markup Styler plugin.

On its Atlassian marketplace web site, there is only a version for Confluence 4 but not for Confluence 5. The links to the issue/request tracker (labs.atlassian.com) is broken.

I wanted to ask regarding a 5.x compatible version of this plugin but cannot even find a place to request or ask this?

Just got an email to "be a good Atlassian citizen" and answer or accept my question.

I would prefer if Atlassian product managers were better citizens and not continue to cancel good features without asking customers. The mentioned feature was a good one, and it is certainly not costing a lot of work to port it from Confluence 5.2 to 5.5, especially given that there have been no big changes within the editor.

So, to answer my own question, I'm once more disappointed with Atlassian.

Hi Dave, this is not doing the same.

The Wiki Plugin is for writing in the Confluence 3.x Wiki language. (this is your link)

The Wiki Markup Styler provides the button in the editor which displays invisible characters (like new-line and new-paragraph), similiar as in MS-Word.

I'm interested in the latter.

Hi Hans Peter,

The Wiki Plugin for Confluence, which is developed and supported by one of our partners, allows you to write standard wiki markup inside of macro bodies that will render correctly on Confluence pages.

Regards,

Dave
