Welcome to our guide on how to embed Markdown into your Confluence pages from external websites - particularly valuable for teams who manage documentation or source code on platforms outside of Confluence and want to ensure seamless integration and consistency across their content.

Embedding Markdown directly into your Confluence pages not only streamlines the process of keeping your documentation up-to-date but also preserves the formatting and structure essential for clarity and readability.
