Summary

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:

  • *.jboss.org
  • *.apache.org
  • *.jira.com

Broken in latest firefox

Seems to do the job most of the time. Somehow *[This](https://www.this.com) does not get converted to Jira format. Still very recommended. Thanks Paolo!
