I wouldn't describe Confluence as a true wiki any more. They ripped out the Wiki syntax for editing while ago. The wiki syntax is still supported for creating documents via API. Confluence is probably best described as an "Documentation Collaboration" product now. Don't get me wrong; it's still bloody good at what it does but it isn't a wiki in the strictest sense. If having the ability to edit plain text offline and be able to dump it into Confluence and have it formatted nicely, then Confluence isn't the best option (things may have changed and happy to be corrected here!).
I've always just ended up with MediaWIKI ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki) but there are simpler options obviously.
