    • Minor

      When we imported a Microsoft Word file containing "-->" (the end of an HTML comment), that sequence was converted into the right arrow character (—>).

      How to Reproduce:

      • Use the attached sample .docx file and import it into your Confluence Cloud page.
      • The end of the HTML comment format is converted into a right arrow.

      Expected behaviour:

      The below HTML comment should remain the same after the import.

      <!--
      The character below is converted after import. Please fix it.
      -->
      

       

      Current behaviour:

      But the HTML comment format is converted into a right arrow..

       

       

       

      Workaround:

      • Use the Code snippet (/code) and manually add the text in the snippet after the import.
      • There is no other workaround to fix it automatically before the import. A workaround will be added when available.
