# Confluence to Google Docs Conversion Notes

## Goal

Convert Confluence Documents in to Google Documents for the purpose of using WikiGDrive to publish them.

## Delivery

A new github repo with a node.js script specific to this conversion.

## High level Process

* Scan all of the documents in a Confluence Space
* Make google documents in a shared drive (two passes will be required so links between documents can be known as content is added).
    * Parent/Child relationship must be intact.
* Import Confluence "Attachments" to Google Drive so they can be referenced.
* For each document
    * Import content from Confluence Page into Google Documents
    * Heading should be headings
    * Paragraphs should be paragraphs
    * Images (which are attachments in Confluence) should be embedded in google docs <a id="cukuroni2k4r"></a>
    * Macros can be wrapped in {{% curlies %}} and dumped as text
        * <strong>Example Block Macro:</strong>
          {{% macroname propertyname='value' propertyname='value' %}}
          macro body, if exists
          {{% /macroname %}}
        * <strong>Example Inline Macro:</strong>
          {{% macroname propertyname='value' propertyname='value' /%}}
    * Tables should be kept tables
    * Embedded Video should be converted to an image with a hyperlink
    * Formatting is not required to be converted.
