+### Automatically creating space and parent headers
+
+If you want to avoid to copy and paste the same space and parents for every MD file, you can use the `default_parents` input.
+Based on the content of the file it will automatically prepend headers before pushing the file onto confluence.
+Only the file with `mark` headers will be modified.
+
+Let's take this example:
+
+```yaml
+default_headers: |
+  tests/=FOO->Tests
+  mark2confluence/=FOO->Code
+```
+
+Every `markdawn` file under the `tests` directory that already contains mark headers will be prepended the following headers:
+```markdown
+<!-- Space: FOO -->
+<!-- Parent: Tests -->
+
+<your-content>
+```
+
+The directive is only valid for the specified directory, in the example above files places under `tests/integration/` will not have the headers appended.
+
