How do I turn off AutoFormatting in our Issue text fields?

[Hunter Trahan]

Both Customers and ourselves internally are struggling with autoformatting because our SKU lists are being formatted to look like smiley faces.

1234:P comes out 1234 and then a tongue face.

I would like to turn autoformatting off so that customers can copy and paste a massive list of SKUs without being greeted by a thousand tongues :)

Hi Hunter, you can achieve this by adding one of these macros around the text you want to not be autoformatted:

• {code}<text here>{code}
• {noformat}<text here>{noformat}

So when you type 1234:P looks like this:

1234:P

This is excellent, thank you! Ideally we should have some way to turn off autoformatting as the default, but for now this will do.

Thank you!

Do you have other way? 

When I type 

{code}

1. aaa

{code}

If I enter after "aaa" text, it autoformat the 1. and insert 2. 

The {noformat} won't work, too.

My problem come when I copy and paste the whole paragraph, and it autoformat all, so I lost all my original formatting.

Another option is to escape the colon with a backslash, though that may not be feasible copying and pasting a large number of them.

e.g. 1234\:P

I'm having similar issues in which "[A-Z0-9]{6}" is being reformatted by having a carriage return inserted before the `{`. Backslashing doesn't solve the issue.
