I read this article about Confluence custom content. However, I’m still not clear. I’ve described my situation here, and I would so much appreciate any advice.
Scenario:
- My team uses MadCap Flare as an authoring tool. It’s framework using XML and XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery.
- When we output an online help system, we have the ability to turn it into a PWA (progressive web application) that users can install if they choose to.
- Our help system contains thousands of pages of product help information.
Problem: Flare and Confluence Cloud don’t natively speak to each other and aren’t too friendly with imports or exports. So, I have a horrific time including help content in Confluence (so far, we haven’t included any help content b/c we must use Flare as an authoring tool).
Desired Outcome: I would love to offer our Confluence users access to these help systems within Confluence.
Question: With Confluence’s “custom content” functionality… will that allow me to include our help doc app (PWA) within a Confluence page? Most of our links in the help system are local files. We have very few external URLs in our help documentation.
I would love to know how I could accomplish this!
