Using Quarto to create Confluence pages

productivity
Quarto is a great publishing system for charts and graphs. It allows you to generate data visualizations with Python and Plotly, Observable or whatever. Confluence is a documentation system, often used internally within companies for technical documentation. This website is created with Quarto. You can publish from Quarto to Confluence. I’m going to attempt that now.
Process
- Set up a new Quarto instance containing pages with a range of content, including generated graphs.
- Connect the Quarto instance to my personal Confluence account.
- Publish from Quarto to Confluence.
- Check the results - what what can and can’t be done.
The test
To test the connection I decided to use this website (which is on Quarto) as my test content. I made a copy of it in a new directory, then all I had to do was change the _quarto.yml
to the following:
Then run the following command at the command line:
quarto publish confluence
It worked! This is this page, in Confluence:
