Need to convert HTML to Jira markup language through REST API

Manjunath Rajappa
Manjunath Rajappa October 10, 2019

Hi All,

 

We need help in converting HTML code to Jira markup language.

An example:  To create a table in description we have HTML table code and need to convert that to Jira markup language which will create a table through REST API to update an issue.

Can anyone help with this

This is the HTML code

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>

<h2>HTML Table</h2>

<table>
<tr>
<th>Company</th>
<th>Contact</th>
<th>Country</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alfreds Futterkiste</td>
<td>Maria Anders</td>
<td>Germany</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Centro comercial Moctezuma</td>
<td>Francisco Chang</td>
<td>Mexico</td>
</tr>
<tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

 I need to convert this to Jira Markup language like this(this will create a table)

||Company||Contact||Country||
|Alfreds Futterkiste|Maria Anders|Germany|
|Centro comercial Moctezuma|Francisco Chang|Mexico|

FYI We have tried with  com.atlassian.renderer.wysiwyg.converter.DefaultWysiwygConverter  (this was mentioned in some questions for a solution) will convert to text type, not Jira markup language.

I'm using Jira Software 7.12.3 and this is working for me

POST /rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/comment
{
  "body":"||Company||Contact||Country||\n|Alfreds Futterkiste|Maria Anders|Germany|\n|Centro comercial Moctezuma|Francisco Chang|Mexico|",
  "visibility": {
     "type": "role",
     "value": "Administrators"
  }
}
