What is the best way to hide large text in JIRA issue description?

simontower

My colleagues will often paste large chunks of log data into a JIRA issue description. This info is useful, but I don't want to scroll through the whole description just to see the first comment.

What is the best way to hide these log chunks? I recall being able to use a macro that would contain text and place scrollbars in an inner window for scrolling. Does this, or similar, macros exist?

I'd prefer a free option. Thanks!

If I understand correctly, the "noformat" syntax might help you, see example here: https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/WikiRendererHelpAction.jspa?section=all

Perfect, thanks! It would be useful if the Text Formatting Notation Help page had an example of {noformat} containing large text with scrollbars.

I thought there was a little triangle next to the Description field that opened and closed it? You can also set the max number of characters in that field under Advanced Settings

Why do we go with "noformat" option where we want to show a formatted text? We could user JQuery or Javascript in description field to update CSS. Sorry, But for me it's not a perfect answer.
