Standalone JIRA WIKI editor application?

Question

I was curious if anyone knows of a standalone application that would allow me to compose text using the WIKI syntax of JIRA:

https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/WikiRendererHelpAction.jspa?section=all

Or, is there an NPM module that will format JIRA's WIKI syntax in order to preview it?

I'm thinking something that's like:

Interesting!

I guess I'm curious if the rendering code is open source, or just common WIKI syntax rendering? Or, does JIRA use a customized rendering engine?

I like how GitHub outlines how it handles documents here: https://github.com/github/markup#markups

Does JIRA/Atlassian have a similar repo that outlines its document rendering codebase?

Thanks a bunch!

Not that I know of. The REST API for retrieving issues and their fields does have a way to get the rendered value of the field.

renderedIssue = jira.issue('TEST-17', expand='renderedFields')     
print renderedIssue.renderedFields.description
