Which mark version is that trace from? Can you give me the output for v9.11.1 and the content of your config file.

[Coalmine-Canary]

Thanks for responding mrueg,

That is from v9.11.1 and from all the versions that proceeded it down to v9.6.2 (it was the same in all of them).

Config looks like this (I also tried with a username set): password = "CONFLUENCE_TOKEN" base_url = "https://confluence.company.domain.com"

I've just re-run on v9.11.1, here is the error on that version:

What happens if you add --space YOUR_SPACE to it? I believe there is a doc that hasn't a space set and the CLI doesn't set one either.

[Coalmine-Canary]

Same error, I was trying before with the space set in the document like the README suggests, I have just tried with --space too.

[mrueg]

Can you share the content of the file (or at least the rough patterns it has)?

[Coalmine-Canary]

This isn't the real content but it looks like this and it's quite a small file.

Heading:
 - Lorum ipsum dolor sit amet
 - Lorum ipsum dolor sit amet

Heading 2:
- Lorum ipsum dolor sit amet

Previously I had the space set like this <!-- Space: My Space -->

The Heading is using '#' ?

[Coalmine-Canary]

No not in this case.

[mrueg]

Have you tried adding a <!-- Title: My page --> in addition or supply that via the command line? Also, can you re-run it with --debug ?

[Coalmine-Canary]

Sorry for the delay on this, I have just tried that and here is the log. I have redacted company-specific stuff

Thanks for your help so far on this! :)

[mrueg]

Could you test this with a simple markdown file that you can share the content with? Something like:

<!-- Title: My test -->

This is my test markdown.

[Coalmine-Canary]

Thanks @mrueg, have just tried again with the below filecontent and same result.
