Pre-formatted text becomes code blocks in Confluence Cloud

XMLWordPrintable

    • Severity 3 - Minor

      Issue Summary

      When migrating Confluence spaces from DC and the space has pages with pre-formatted blocks <pre> text </pre>, the content on the page will turn into code blocks, and the hyperlinks will not render as expected.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a space with a page 
      2. On the page, insert a markup (markdown) with the <pre> </pre>, for example:
      <pre> test
      new test
      
      Here is a <a href="https://www.google.com/">link</a>
      
      https://www.google.com/
      </pre>
      <p><br /></p> 
      1. Migrate the space and the page to the Confluence cloud.

      Expected Results

      The page should render exactly as it is in the DC instance

      Actual Results

      The pre-formatted block will become a code block and not render the hyperlinks:

      Side Note: There is no data loss; all links will be migrated as expected; however, they will not render in the cloud due to the code block.

      <pre> test
      new test
      
      Here is a <a href="https://www.google.com/">link</a>
      
      https://www.google.com/
      </pre>
      <p><br /></p> 

      Workaround

      The current workaround is to manually edit the page by removing the code blocks and adding the links again.
