…ation Major refactoring to support Confluence Data Center and improve export quality. Key Changes: - **Platform Support:** Added support for Confluence Data Center using Personal Access Tokens (PAT), including VPN/Intranet connectivity checks and specific error messages. - **Visual Fidelity:** Switched API retrieval from `storage` to `export_view` format to correctly render macros, emoticons, and layouts. - **Offline Capability:** Integrated `BeautifulSoup` to parse HTML, download embedded images/attachments, and rewrite internal links to relative local paths. - **Styling:** Implemented a two-layer CSS strategy (Standard + Custom) and automatic CSS discovery. - **Navigation:** Added automatic generation of a global `index.html` for easier navigation of the exported structure. - **UX:** Added `tqdm` for progress tracking and improved output directory management (timestamped folders). - **Configuration:** Externalized platform-specific API paths to `confluence_products.ini`. Fixes authentication issues and ensures robust handling of pages that cannot be downloaded.
Implements the offline restructuring workflow for the index of all pages and finalizes the UI/UX.
Key Changes:
- **Index Sandbox:** Introduced `create_editor.py` and `patch_sidebar.py`. This tooling replaces direct Markdown editing (which caused performance issues in IDEs) with a lightweight, zero-dependency HTML Drag & Drop editor for restructuring the export.
- **Navigation & UI:**
- Implemented a fully hierarchical sidebar with proper indentation.
- Added a robust JavaScript resizer for the sidebar; width is persisted via localStorage.
- Fixed hamburger menu positioning and layout margins/paddings.
- Resolved issue with duplicate entries in the index.
- **Metadata:** Added automatic injection of Page Title, Author, and Modification Date to the top of the HTML body for every page.
- **Versioning:** Output directory generation now includes timestamps (e.g., `YYYY-MM-DD HHMM [Title]`) to support clean history management.
- **Fixes:** Addressed various edge cases in tree generation and CSS layouting.
- Added \n in downloaded HTML to enhance readbility - added help messages to command line parameters - "last changed by" now in English instead of german. Would need localization, but out of scope now.

I have carefully migrated the existing Cloud logic into the new
confluence_products.inistructure andmyModules.py, ensuring the logic remains sound. However, I do not have access to a Confluence Cloud instance to verify the refactored authentication flow personally.Could you please verify if the Cloud profile in
confluence_products.iniworks as expected before merging?I hope it has for you value too!
