Case:

You would like to use the "wiki style" renderer AND not wiki code or noformat or ... tag within your wiki style text

Solution (tested with JIRA 4.4.x):

  1. Open [JIRA_INSTALL]/WEB-INF/classes/system-renderercomponentfactories-plugin.xml
  2. Locate the <renderer-component-factory key="emoticonrenderer" tag and remove the whole tag (should be 8 lines of code)
  3. Restart your JIRA

Result:

"simply disable all emoticons globally" - done

Thanks, it works for me (jira software 7.9.2), the file was in

[JIRA_INSTALL]/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/system-renderercomponentfactories-plugin.xml

don't forget to backup/restore or reapply your modification when you update jira version

I'd be strongly in favor of a way to simply disable all emoticons globally. They look ridiculous.

You can also put {noformat} at the bginning and at the end of the code in your comment. This way your code will be displayed as you expect.

All the best,

Yvonne

Andreas, that doesn't really work for JIRA OnDemand.

It can't be that difficult to just add an option.

Andreas Spall July 26, 2012

Hi Michael, you're right. My solution only work if you've write access. Which is not possible for OnDemand instances. ( https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Restricted+Functions+in+Atlassian+OnDemand )

This is a big issue for us. 

The code brackets is our workaround, but with long lists, there a vertical scrollbar introduced. This causes many users to 'miss' contents in the code bracketed area.

Is there a 'simple text' or 'plain text' renderer option in custom fields available, yet?

You might also enclose code in {code} brackets.

{code}

some text that should not be interpreted

{code}

Try to change the comment field text renderer from "wiki style" to "default text renderer". http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA044/Configuring+Renderers Or you could use wiki code tag to show your code right: https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/WikiRendererHelpAction.jspa?section=all
