Trying to write a automate rule which bolds italics and underlines particular text in the description whenever rule triggers.

In Guide, found solutions for Bold and Italics only. Not able to find anything for underline.

Late to this, so for those who come after

Found the info here: https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/WikiRendererHelpAction.jspa?section=all 

For bold, use * *
For Italic, use _ _
For underling, use + +

Make sure the symbols are touching the words that you want to format (first symbol should touch the start of the first word, second symbol should touch the end of the last word)

Example:

  • Input: *Bold words*
    • Output: Bold words
  • Input: Partially _Italic words_
    • Output: Partially Italic words
  • Input: +Underlined and+ not Underlined words
    • Output: Underlined and not Underlined words

For a combo, use they symbols in any order to start, but reverse the order used at the end.

Example:

  • Input: *+Bold and underlined words+*
    • Output: Bold and underlined words
  • Input: Partially _*Italic and bold words*_
    • Output: Partially Italic and bold words

Dont have an answer - but would appreciate if you can share solutions you found for Bold and Italics. I am looking for text outputs to be in bold or italics etc.
