What it does
The add-in replaces Confluence’s standard code macro with an editor for adding code in over 85 programming and markup languages. It supports syntax coloring, numbered lines, wrapped text, font-size controls, and an optional minimap. A Monaco-based editing panel previews the configured block before it is saved. Automatic mode follows Confluence’s current light, dark, or high-contrast setting, while manual themes can keep a page’s appearance fixed.
