Converts Markdown to JIRA wiki syntax
Markdown to JIRA is just a tiny wrapper around j2m http://j2m.fokkezb.nl/, a javascript library that converts Markdown to JIRA markup (and the other way around) that does all the work.
It's inspired by the much more powerful Markdown Here http://markdown-here.com/ extension, that converts Markdown to HTML (I use it for Gmail).
This extension adds an entry to your right-click menu, called JIRA Formatting that expands further in 2 entries:
- MD to JIRA
- JIRA to MD
When you right click on an issue page on JIRA, and select one of the 2 functionalities, the extension will replace the content with the equivalent markup.
The addon has been tested on the following domains, but you can specify where to enable it via its options:
- *.jboss.org
- *.apache.org
- *.jira.com
- *.atlassian.com
- *.atlassian.net

- It is very helpful extension, before that I was doing this conversion in a console. `pbpaste | npx j2m --toJ --stdin | pbcopy`

- I don't know how to use it

- Thanks! Works great although "paste, highlight, right-click" took me a minute to figure out. How about simply "right-click to paste"?

- Would be even more useful if it supports: - Blockquotes (converting > to {quote}) - Inline images (converting  to !url!) Also if: - Support for keyboard shortcuts - Inject a button into Jira editors for conversion
