How to POST via REST a correct markup to a confluence page?

How to post topic in correct wiki syntax when body has "\r\n" which means "carriage return" and "newline"?

When I use data=json.dumps(%topic_body%) it makes all my text with literally "\r\n" in it!

Of course text formatted like this - cannot be used as wiki formatted on confluence!

This is an example of usual markup:

h1. Some Description
[Some link|Link...] is ...

h2. Some

h2. Some Versions
* 9
*  10
*  11

h1. Some Software 

||Table 1 ||Block 1||Some||Some 2||

This is how it reproduces via json:

{"storage": {"value": "b'h1. Some Description\\r\\n[Some link|Link...] is ...\\r\\n\\r\\nh2. Some\\r\\n\\r\\nh2. Some Versions\\r\\n* 9\\r\\n*  10\\r\\n*  11\\r\\n\\r\\nh1. Some Software \\r\\n\\r\\n||Table 1 ||Block 1||Some||Some 2||'", "representation": "wiki"}}}

This is important, and I can't send body in markdown because my confluence did not understand this way of macros:

<ac:structured-macro ac:name="attachments">
</ac:structured-macro>

So I need to send my topic body that way, which can include new line method (https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-wiki-markup-251003035.html)

Also I can't use documented:

Explicitly, by entering two consecutive backslashes: \\

Because in this condition wiki markup make all text the same forematted, just like:

h1. Some Description \\ \\ [Some link|Link...] is ...

This whole string will be "h1." size. All all other text from this string will be formatted as h1, ignoring any other tags.

So, how the line breaks worked for you? Using this still gives me whole string "h1." size.:

{"value": "b'h1. Some Description\\r\\n[Some link|Link...] is ...\\r\\n'"}

Fixed! You can ignore the case, when visual(in browser) wiki markdown does not work for you. It will work via REST anyway!
