MarkdownUp

Convert Markdown ⇄ Jira Wiki Markup from the right-click menu, in VS Code and JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, Rider, Android Studio, WebStorm, PyCharm…). Works on macOS, Windows and Linux, offline.

Usage

Right-click a file in the Explorer / Project view, or the text inside the editor:

Action What it does
Convert File Converts the file and swaps its extension (notes.md → notes.jira).
Generate New File Keeps the original and writes the converted file next to it.
Convert Selection / Document Converts the selected text, or the whole editor content when nothing is selected.

If the file type is not recognised, you are asked which direction to convert.

Recognised extensions: Markdown .md, .markdown · Jira .jira, .jiramarkup.

What is converted

Headings · bold, italic, strikethrough · inline code and fenced code blocks (with language) · links and images · nested bullet and numbered lists · tables · block quotes · horizontal rules · line breaks.
