## Project history and usage

Mark is a command-line publisher that synchronizes Markdown files from a repository or local workspace into Atlassian Confluence pages.

### Project history

The project was created on GitHub in 2015. Its README frames the tool around a common engineering-docs problem: teams keep Markdown in Git but still need Confluence pages updated for an organization that uses Confluence as the visible documentation system.

Mark developed beyond simple Markdown conversion into a Confluence-specific publisher. The README documents page metadata comments, parent and folder creation, attachments, Confluence macros, GitHub-style alerts, task lists, Mermaid rendering, D2 rendering, PlantUML support, and preservation of inline comments.

### Adoption history

Mark has a visible open-source user base, with the official repository showing more than a thousand stars and hundreds of forks. The supplied package facts show it packaged for Homebrew and Nix, and the README also documents Docker usage for CI or reproducible publishing jobs.

### How it is used

Users run mark against one or more Markdown files and provide Confluence connection details by flags, environment variables, or a TOML config file. The CLI can create pages, update existing pages, upload attachments, translate Markdown to Confluence storage HTML, and optionally run in dry-run or compile-only modes.

Credentials are operationally important: the README documents username, password or token, base URL, and config-file options, and explicitly says credentials can be stored in the system-specific configuration file or supplied via CLI/environment variables.

### Why package nerds care

Mark is significant as glueware: it lets teams keep docs reviewable in Git while publishing into a proprietary wiki. For package maintainers, it is a single binary CLI with CI-friendly flags and a clear target audience, rather than another general Markdown renderer.

### Timeline

- 2015: GitHub repository created.
- 2026: Repository metadata shows ongoing activity and a large issue/PR history.
- 2026: Supplied package facts list Homebrew and Nix packaging.

### Related projects

- Mark sits between Markdown tooling and Atlassian Confluence's REST/storage APIs.
- Its README references optional rendering integrations such as Mermaid, D2, PlantUML, and GitHub-style Markdown alerts.
