It doesn't make sense to add it to Mif2Go except as a separate program anyway, like the other many free utilities that come with it. And frankly, it doesn't make sense for us to spend that much engineering time to benefit only the five Mif2Go users who care about Confluence at all... ;-) Of course, if they don't support their own CLI, what are the odds the APIs work? Not good, I'd say, which may be why nobody has done a batch import utility yet. >Confluence 4 can export a space to several formats, but not to the >documented XHTML storage format. Does Frame import any of them itself? You'd lose a lot, and have to completely redo the markup; that's why we advise adding such content by hand (copy/paste as PLAIN TEXT only) to the existing Frame files. It saves a lot of time over a complete redo of formats, markers, and conditions. You'd think re-import would save time, but you'd be very wrong. ;-) Thanks again for helping us to get the XHTML format right; that was also a lot of engineering, and it would have been much more without your critical eye on the testing. -- Jeremy H.
