How does $wikiStyleRenderer.convertWikiToXHtml work?"

[Fred Hauschel]

I used this in my velocity html mail template:

$wikiStyleRenderer.convertWikiToXHtml($renderContext, $issue.getDescription());

But the output is:
$wikiStyleRenderer.convertWikiToXHtml($renderContext, $issue.getDescription());
instead of my formatted description. What's wrong?

Thanks Fredy

That happens because $wikiStyleRenderer is not available in your context. You should take a look at rendererManager:

Great thanks!

It's absolutely right, I was on the confluence help instead of jira ;-o. And in the confluence context it is ;-)

My Solution is:

#if ( $rendererManager.getRenderedContent("atlassian-wiki-renderer", $issue.getDescription(), $issue.getIssueRenderContext()) )
$rendererManager.getRenderedContent("atlassian-wiki-renderer", $issue.getDescription(), $issue.getIssueRenderContext())
#else
description is missing...
#end
