# MCP Jira Confluence v0.2.1 - Formatting Fix Summary ## Issue Resolved ✅ **Problem:** Confluence page creation was failing with 400 Bad Request errors when using heavy markdown formatting, while simple content worked fine. **Root Cause:** The markdown-to-Confluence converter was generating malformed or overly complex XHTML that Confluence's REST API rejected. ## Solutions Implemented ### 1. **Intelligent Complexity Detection** - Added regex-based markdown complexity analysis - Automatically switches between detailed and simplified conversion strategies - Detects patterns: headers, bold/italic, code, lists, links, images ### 2. **Robust Formatter Architecture** ```python # Two-tier conversion approach: - _detailed_markdown_to_confluence() # For simple content - _simple_markdown_to_confluence() # For complex content ``` ### 3. **Improved Error Handling** - Added try-catch blocks around conversion logic - Fallback to simple HTML paragraph wrapping on conversion failures - Comprehensive logging for debugging ### 4. **Better List Processing** - Line-by-line processing instead of regex-heavy approach - Proper list grouping (`<ul>` wrapping multiple `<li>` elements) - Correct list closure handling ### 5. **Enhanced Inline Formatting** - Improved bold/italic regex to avoid conflicts - Protected inline code from other conversions - Better link and image handling ## Test Results ✅ **Simple Content:** ✅ Perfect formatting with full feature support **Complex Content:** ✅ Graceful degradation with clean HTML output **Error Handling:** ✅ Fallback mechanisms prevent failures **HTML Passthrough:** ✅ Existing HTML preserved correctly ## Key Improvements | Feature | Before | After | |---------|--------|-------| | Complex Markdown | ❌ 400 Error | ✅ Clean HTML | | List Formatting | ⚠️ Malformed | ✅ Proper nesting | | Error Recovery | ❌ Total failure | ✅ Graceful fallback | | Code Blocks | ⚠️ Complex macros | ✅ Simple `<pre>` tags | | Detection Logic | ⚠️ Basic string matching | ✅ Regex pattern analysis | ## Version History - **v0.1.9:** Initial release with basic functionality - **v0.2.0:** Major formatting improvements and error handling - **v0.2.1:** Enhanced robustness and fallback mechanisms ## Usage Recommendation The formatter now automatically handles complexity: - **Simple markdown** → Full featured conversion with Confluence macros - **Complex markdown** → Simplified but reliable HTML conversion - **HTML content** → Unchanged passthrough - **Plain text** → Wrapped in paragraph tags Users no longer need to worry about formatting complexity causing 400 errors! ## Testing Run the test suite to verify all improvements: ```bash python test_v0_2_0.py ``` ## Published to PyPI ✅ Version 0.2.1 is now available: ```bash pip install mcp-jira-confluence==0.2.1 ```
