Description

It seems that in current versions of Confluence, the storage format and the format shown in "View Source" is no longer well-formed XML. There are no XML declaration, no root element, and no namespace declarations. In this way, it obviously can't be converted.

above the copied content, plus the following below:

```

Is this the same for you? Should we add a note in the README.md with instructions how to use the project in this case?

Research direction

README.md is the only file named; first review its usage instructions alongside the Confluence View Source workflow described in the issue. Document the XML declaration, namespace-wrapped root element, and closing element needed before conversion, then verify that the instructions clearly explain how to prepare copied content.
