Confluence supported Markdown (or was it HTML? It’s been a long time.). We wrote a lot of automation that would pull comments out of code, format them that way, and load them into Confluence. Voila! Documentation that’s always synced with production code.
And then a point upgrade removed that support in favor of their own rich text format, so in an instant all our tooling died. We were not happy campers.
