Add new syntax highlighting to Jira

Mike Rathwell

Is there a way to add syntax highlighting to Jira like one can add new brushes to Confluence? Most of the answers I see are quite old OR point to the Prism highlighter (which seems a bit user hostile).

Anyone have ideas? I'd like to be able to add a brush in the same manner.

Hi Mike,

Besides Prism there's not another way I know of to include more languages in Jira syntax highlighting.

Could you let me know if there are specific languages you're looking to add? I can see if there's a feature request for those. We did recently add a lot more languages as a result of case JRASERVER-21067.

Regards,

Shannon

Hi Shannon,

Yup... that was the only way I found as well. I just didn't "like" it as it is that bit of a kludge that one has to switch out of visual mode to use it. The specific ask was "Elixir" highlighting which isn't in there. There were a ton of helpful ones added when I got to 7.8.2 but not the "special" ones my user base asked for.

I'll toss that in production then and put in a banner on Jira that a) it's there and b) how to use it. I did try it in my test instance and it was benign so no worries about hurling into prod during the day.

Thanks for your reply. As always, I appreciate your help

Shannon, any plans to add Gherkin, a.k.a Cucumber as a supported syntax?

Shannon S

Hi David,

Not at this time, but Prism does include Gherkin highlighting.

I've created a feature request below that you can vote on in order for our team to consider including Gherkin in the future.
