Previously I did a test to export content from Quarto to Confluence. It worked, and very well! You can read about that here.

With this page I test many of the features of Quarto, to see which ones will import. It works surprisingly well. The only major thing that didn’t work is raw content - the iframe below didn’t work. Also including Mermaid Diagrams didn’t work. Pretty much everything else did.
