confluence-publisher-ex 1.1.0

# Confluence Publisher

A tool to help publish documentation to Confluence.
This tools use own configuration file.

For now it supports:

- confluence versions: 5.5 - 5.9
- sphinx-build formats: "fjson", "html"

## Why?

This tools are written as part of our Documentation Toolkit which we use in our job daily.
The main idea of toolkit is to make a process of creating and updating documentation able to be automated

# Install

Install Confluence Publisher from [PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/confluence-publisher-ex) with

```
$ pip install confluence-publisher-ex
```

## Publisher

```
$ conf_publisher config.yml --auth XXXXXjpwYXNzdXXXXX==
```

If a config doesn't contain page.id, the tool can automatically create pages
on-the-fly when ``-ac`` flag is set up.
