Translate good CommonMark (Markdown) into bad JIRA markup. This may be useful for anyone locked into Atlassian's prison of bad software.
Functionality is very minimal. It reads CommonMark from
stdin and prints the converted content on stdout:
sh
cargo install cmark2jira
echo "*markdown!*" | cmark2jira
I have Vim setup so that I can easily pop open a new tab
containing an ephemeral file where I can write a comment
by pressing <leader>co:
``` vim function! NewComment() let r = strftime("%Y-%m-%d%H-%M-%S") execute "edit ~/comments/blob" . fnameescape(r) . ".md" endfunction
nnoremap
After I'm done I press <leader>ji to run the tab's
content through cmark2jira and put the result into my
unnamed register (*) which is mapped on Mac OS to my
clipboard:
``` vim function! ToJIRA() let @* = system('cmark2jira', join(getline(1,'$'), "\n")) endfunction
nnoremap
I then make my way over to a browser tab with JIRA open and
paste with Cmd+V.
Run tests with:
sh
cargo test
