Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't Jira render standard Markdown by default?

Classic Jira and Confluence Cloud/Server historically use Jira Wiki Markup (e.g. h1. for headings, *bold*, and {code}). While newer Cloud editors support some Markdown shortcuts, legacy Jira instances and REST API endpoints strictly require Wiki Markup.

How are code blocks handled?

Markdown triple backticks (```python) are converted to Jira's {code:python}...{code} tag blocks.

Are bullet points and numbered lists supported?

Yes! Numbered lists (1. item) are converted to Jira's # item format, and bullet lists (- item) are converted to * item format.
