read html file as `body` in `conflr::confl_update_page()`

[matthewdwood82]

I think this is mostly a documentation issue. I have an html file I would like to push & update a current confluence page using conflr::confl_update_page(id = num_my_id, title = "my page", ...)

Currently, I am trying to do something like

conflr::confl_update_page(id = num_my_id, title = "my page", body = readr::read_file("main.html"))

but return the following error

> conflr::confl_update_page(id = 180014247, title = "conflr quarto/rstudio test", body = readr::read_file("main.html"))
Error in `confl_verb()`:

Error in `$<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, "call_text", value = c("conflr::confl_update_page(...)",  :

Any recommendations for passing an existing HTML file through this function? Thanks!

Hi! conflr package doesn't support it. You can convert HTML to a Markdown file with .Rmd extension first.

Thanks. FWIW, I run into a similar issue when I try to knit from RMD. My current working theory is that I'm trying to push an {DT} object that is not converting.
