It would be useful to have a checkbox (or similar control)
[x] allow rich formatting
below description/comments. Has anybody heard of such a plugin?
Thanks.
No, there isn't one - you eithrer use wiki markup or you don't. If you enable it, then to use plain text, don't enter any wiki markup!
Thanks, Nic. But unfortunatelly this is not suitable for a scenario I have. Some of our users don't want to use wiki markup. And they don't want their data to interpreted as a markup'ed data. They also find unacceptable to enclose their text in a {noformat} tag. We don't want to put them in a separate project or give them a separate set of issues (with the only difference that they come with a simple renderer rather than rich text one) -- that will only confuse people and make the whole system less comfortable to use. So we need something more flexible in this case.
Nic, I feel a bit of negativity. There's no need to. I should've mentioned this before, but it slipped my mind. Sorry, my fault. One thing that makes this use case special, is that there are ennormous amount of issues already in the tracker. Some of them use characters and combinations of characters which will be regarded as markdown should we turn the rich editing on. We want to avoid that.
I don't see a way that you could toggle this functionality off and on without getting really gritty with the jira development.
It may just be better to try a different rich text option: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.jiraeditor.jeditor
