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

Doesn't work with tables.
Has no effect.
It is very helpful extension, before that I was doing this conversion in a console. `pbpaste | npx j2m --toJ --stdin | pbcopy`
Saving me tons of legacy jira markup headache. Thank you very much!
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
Does what it says fastest solution out there. Big thanks
Doesn't work, has no effect.
Useful and works as expected
Simple but effective! Thank you.
