This short video shows you how easy it is to convert Confluence content to DITA documents using Oxygen's Batch Documents Converter.

00:00:06The purpose of this video is to show you how easy it is to export Confluence content

00:00:11and convert it to DITA documents using Oxygen's Batch Documents Converter.

00:00:16If you're unfamiliar with it, the Batch Documents Converter is an Oxygen add-on,

00:00:20and once installed, it makes it possible to quickly convert multiple documents of one

00:00:24type into documents of another type.

00:00:28This particular video will focus on the

00:00:30Confluence to DITA type of conversion.

00:00:33I have a sample Confluence space set up

00:00:35and I want to export the documents in my space into DITA documents.

00:00:41I'll go to "Space Settings" and choose "Export Space".

00:00:46I'll select the "HTML" format, "Next", I'll leave it on "Normal Export", and "Export".

00:00:57Once complete, I need to click the "Download here" link.

00:01:01This exports the Confluence content into a zipped archive.

00:01:05I've already unzipped it behind the scenes, so now I'll go to Oxygen.

00:01:10I'll go to the Tools menu and to "Batch Documents Converter" ...

00:01:14you can see that there's quite a lot of different types of conversion possibilities.

00:01:19I'll select "Confluence to DITA". In the resulting dialog box,

00:01:23for the input file, I just need to choose the index.html file that I exported.

00:01:30and I'll select the option to open the converted files.

00:01:35and you see that it converted the content from my Confluence space

00:01:39into a DITA map with referenced topics.

00:01:43Feel free to give the Batch Documents

00:01:45Converter tool a try for various types of quick conversions.

00:01:49This concludes this short demonstration. Thank you for watching.
