Can I add custom syntax highlighting for a programming language missing from the list of syntax options in the macro's editor?

For app versions 1.14.0 +

custom brushes for additional languages are not supported anymore due to technical problems in combination with other apps not provided by us.

For app version up to 1.13.5

We support custom syntax highlighting languages in the app, up to version 1.13.5.

You can add support for custom programming languages in the Confluence admin area:

General configuration -> Configure Code Macro -> Add a new language

You need a so called "brush" file for your new programming language. See this page about the format of these files and where you can find existing brushes.

After you have done this, you should be able to see your new programming language in the list of supported programming languages in the plug-in's macro configuration dialog.

Why do I get an error saying “Confluence New Code plug-in not found”?

This error indicates that the app cannot find the Confluence Code Viewer. The Code Viewer is shipped with Confluence in the ‘Code Macro Plugin’ and enabled by default. If you see the error message above, for some reason it isn’t enabled.

Please check and enable the Code Macro Plugin:

1. Go to the ‘Manager add-ons’ in the Confluence admin: ‘Gear-Icon'->Add-ons

2. Select ‘All Add-ons’ in the drop down menu

3. Search for the ‘Code Macro Plugin’

4. Expand it, check the Add-on key, it should be ‘com.atlassian.confluence.ext.newcode-macro-plugin’

5. If the ‘Code Macro Plugin’ Add-on is disabled, you have to enable it in order to make Bitbucket for Confluence work

6. If the ‘Code Macro Plugin’ is missing or has another add-on key as listed above, please let us know and tell us the Confluence version  

Why are my binary files rendered in plain text?

As of the v2.3.0 release, you may have noticed a difference in behaviour. If you ever edited a macro for a binary file and set it to 'Plain Text', we will now render it as such after this release. If you want to change this then the user has to manually unselect the Plain Text option.

Editing pages is no longer possible, how do I fix the problem?

There may be an incompatibility our plug-in has with some other plug-ins and specific Confluence versions causing this issue.

The quickest way to fix the issue seems to be to use compatible version ranges and there are two options to follow:

1. Upgrade to the latest Confluence version (7.20 as of this post):

   • Using the latest version (2.3.0) of Include Bitbucket for Confluence works on Confluence 7.20

2. If upgrading to the latest Confluence version is not an option then stay on the older version and downgrade Include Bitbucket for Confluence to 2.2.5

   • Using the older Include Bitbucket version 2.2.5 seems to work fine with that Confluence version.
