 Skip files in a directory with rules defined in `.mdignore`. Each rule should occupy a single line. Rules follow the syntax (and constraints) of [fnmatch](https://docs.python.org/3/library/fnmatch.html#fnmatch.fnmatch). Specifically, `?` matches any single character, and `*` matches zero or more characters. For example, use `up-*.md` to exclude Markdown files that start with `up-`.

+With the command-line option `--render-drawio`, images with embedded draw\.io diagrams (`*.drawio.png` and `*.drawio.svg`) are uploaded unchanged, and shown on the Confluence page as images. These diagrams are not editable in Confluence. When both an SVG and a PNG image is available, PNG is preferred. `*.drawio` and `*.drawio.xml` files are converted into PNG or SVG images by invoking draw\.io as a command-line utility, and the generated images are uploaded to Confluence as attachments, and shown as images.
+
+### Mermaid diagrams
 
 You can include [Mermaid diagrams](https://mermaid.js.org/) in your Markdown documents to create visual representations of systems, processes, and relationships. When a Markdown document contains a code block with the language specifier `mermaid`, *md2conf* offers two options to publish the diagram:
 
-1. Pre-render into an image. The code block is interpreted by and converted into a PNG or SVG image with the Mermaid diagram utility [mermaid-cli](https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid-cli). The generated image is then uploaded to Confluence as an attachment to the page. This is the approach we use and support.
-2. Render on demand. The code block is transformed into a [diagram macro](https://atlasauthority.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MARKDOWNCLOUD/pages/2946826241/Diagram+Macro), which is processed by Confluence. You need a [Confluence plugin](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211438/markdown-html-plantuml-latex-diagrams-open-api-mermaid) to turn macro definitions into images when a Confluence page is visited. This is a contributed feature. As authors of *md2conf*, we don't endorse or support any particular Confluence plugin.

+With the command-line option `--no-render-drawio` (default), editable diagram data is extracted from images with embedded draw\.io diagrams (`*.drawio.png` and `*.drawio.svg`), and uploaded to Confluence as attachments. `*.drawio` and `*.drawio.xml` files are uploaded as-is. You need a [marketplace app](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1210933/draw-io-diagrams-uml-bpmn-aws-erd-flowcharts) to view and edit these diagrams on a Confluence page.

+With the command-line option `--render-drawio`, images with embedded draw\.io diagrams (`*.drawio.png` and `*.drawio.svg`) are uploaded unchanged, and shown on the Confluence page as images. These diagrams are not editable in Confluence. When both an SVG and a PNG image is available, PNG is preferred. `*.drawio` and `*.drawio.xml` files are converted into PNG or SVG images by invoking draw\.io as a command-line utility, and the generated images are uploaded to Confluence as attachments, and shown as images.

+### Mermaid diagrams
 
 You can include [Mermaid diagrams](https://mermaid.js.org/) in your Markdown documents to create visual representations of systems, processes, and relationships. When a Markdown document contains a code block with the language specifier `mermaid`, *md2conf* offers two options to publish the diagram:
 
-1. Pre-render into an image. The code block is interpreted by and converted into a PNG or SVG image with the Mermaid diagram utility [mermaid-cli](https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid-cli). The generated image is then uploaded to Confluence as an attachment to the page. This is the approach we use and support.
-2. Render on demand. The code block is transformed into a [diagram macro](https://atlasauthority.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MARKDOWNCLOUD/pages/2946826241/Diagram+Macro), which is processed by Confluence. You need a [Confluence plugin](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211438/markdown-html-plantuml-latex-diagrams-open-api-mermaid) to turn macro definitions into images when a Confluence page is visited. This is a contributed feature. As authors of *md2conf*, we don't endorse or support any particular Confluence plugin.
