embedding mime type text in Confluence

roomeon

Hi,

is there any option to embed plain text files via macro which are attached to a page (like it is possible with images or pdf already)?

Something like

<ac:text>

<ri:attachment ri:filename="test.sh"/>

</ac:text>

This is not about embedding Office Files, Images, Multi Media or PDF which are supported.

We would like to attach files (e.g. just by dropping them in page window).
Embedding should show the content of the actual version of the attached / embedded file.
Means, we do not want to have to edit page each time an attachment has changed.

If this is not supported anyway, is it part of feature planning or where can I open an issue for Confluence?

Regards
