confluence2markdown is built on a broken tokenizer about confluence2markdown HOT 2 OPEN

My fork was an ugly hack to get a project finished. (You can see how ugly when I set the max token from 128 to 1024 characters.) I haven't really come back to it since then. If you can make it more robust, that would be great.

Well, the issue has been present in Floby's node-tokenizer for years and there hasn't even been a bug report for this up to now. Appears to me that the project is dead. Not something where I'd want to invest...

Parsing the old (3.5) Confluence markup is quite complicated. (After all, this is why they abandoned the format.) So I now switched to an approach that avoids this problem - or rather leaves it to Atlassian:

1. Create an empty wiki page in a current version of Confluence and save it.
2. Edit the page again.
3. Go to Insert > Markup and insert the Confluence markup
4. Click on Open in source editor to show the content in the new XML-based storage format
5. Copy the content to an XML file
6. Add the missing header and footer (see highsource/confluence-to-markdown-converter#8)
7. Convert to markdown using the c2md.xsl XSLT transformation from https://github.com/highsource/confluence-to-markdown-converter
