Usage

Run the exporter with the desired Confluence page URL or space URL. Execute the console application by typing confluence-markdown-exporter (or its shorter alias cme) followed by one of the commands pages, pages-with-descendants, spaces, orgs, or config. Add --help to any command for additional information.

All export commands accept one or more URLs as space-separated arguments. Each command also has a singular alias (page, page-with-descendants, space, org) that behaves identically.
