Converts Markdown to Confluence storage format

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'md2conf'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install md2conf

require 'md2conf'

conf_xhtml = Md2conf.parse_markdown(File.read('./README.md'))

Contents of conf_xhtml is now ready to be pushed to Confluence.

It is possible to set up custom macros to be processed inside your Markdown files.

Macros must be specified in the format {MACRO_NAME:MACRO_ARG} and reside outside of code blocks.

Macro definition are read from the file ~/.md2conf.yaml inside a macros key:

macros:
  PUP: <a href="https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-%<arg>s"><img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/PUP-%<arg>s-blue.svg" /></a>
  PUPTEXT: <a href="https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-%<arg>s">PUP-%<arg>s</a>

Having these definitions, the following macros:

{PUP:7123} Fixed a bug

{PUPTEXT:7885} Work in progress

will be converted to this:

<a href="https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-7123"><img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/PUP-7123-blue.svg" /></a> Fixed a bug

<a href="https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-7885">PUP-7885</a> Work in progress

Note the usage of %<arg>s - these will be replaced by the MACRO_ARG part that is specified inside each macro.
