Is it possible to create custom templates/output for Jira Release Notes?

[Mark McD]

I really like using the Release Notes feature in Jira to share what my team is doing around the company. I usually include a post to our internal forum, running phpBB.

In the "Configure Release Notes" screen, there is a 'style' drop-down containing "text" and "HTML" options. Is it possible to write a plugin that adds to this list? I'd like to write a bbcode plugin if I can.

I'm not sure about adding a style - I think you might need to do some hacking in the part of the code that provides the release notes.

This might help get you started though - http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Creating+Release+Notes

Yep that's definitely it. Thanks!

If the PDF format also fits your needs (of sharing them with your team), then the JIRA PDF View Plugin can render customizable Release Notes documents.
