US Cybercom says mass exploitation of Atlassian Confluence vulnerability ongoing

Confluence's code blocks are hot garbage:

* Selecting a language on one code block changes the languages for other code blocks on the same page, sometimes. (I've not figured out the exact conditions on this one yet.)

* Whitespace is not preserved / rendered the same as the editor; we have several Confluence pages with YAML where the rendered version won't parse, but it looks fine in the editor.

Give me Markdown in git any day.

Dunno about all that but it doesn't support inline code snippets. You've gotta use formatted text, which doesn't look good. Seems like an intern project at best.

Huh? What do you mean, isn't

Ordinary text blah blah {{interspersed code snippet}} some more ordinary blah blah text

working, or haven't you tried it?

Just haven't tried it, didn't mean to imply they were false.

Ya gotta use the mark-up text tab to write, and only switch over to the other one ("visual" something?) to check that it looks OK.

Always annoys the heck outta me when I forget to switch back before submitting my comment. It remembers, and gives me the same tab next time I start to comment on any ticket.
