Confluence Cloud does not handle paragraph linebreaks properly #71

Open johnboyes opened 2 years ago

johnboyes commented 2 years ago

The Confluence Cloud API is treating every single linebreak as an actual linebreak, when our expected behaviour is that it will not (we expect that only double linebreaks will result in an actual linebreak in Confluence). This problem only applies to Confluence Cloud, not Server.

Possible fixes for this include:

submitting an issue to Atlassian, and hoping they fix it (suspect it is unlikely they would fix it though)
changing the plugin to use Confluence's storage format instead of wiki format
converting the format from wiki to storage on the fly, and then removing any <br /> tags
