Convert HTML to Jira WikiMarkup

August 18, 2021

While Atlassian made some workaround ways to convert Jira WikiMarkup to HTML.

There is no way to do the other way around and convert HTML to Jira WikiMarkup.

I saw all over the community, a lot of people looking for a way of doing it.

So i decided to create packages for any environment people asked me:

Nuget package for .Net : https://www.nuget.org/packages/Html2JiraMarkup/

npm package for JS: https://www.npmjs.com/package/html-2-jira-markup

Hope it will be useful for many other people.

You are welcome to say thanks or ask for package to another language / framework and i will try to do my best.

Thanks :)

@Nir Haimov can you share any libraries for Java. To Convert Html to Jira Markup?

Hi @Anandraj Rajaram

I will try to find some free time and create library for Java too.
i will update with link once i'm done

Thanks @Nir Haimov .

Hi @Anandraj Rajaram

Sorry for keeping you waiting for nothing.
Eventually, i will not create a Java library, i tried to, but found myself too long around it, so decided to let it go.
You can however look at the implementation i did in one of the exiting packages, and try to do the same in Java

Thanks, @Nir Haimov . I got this library from Atlassian

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.atlassian.renderer</groupId>
  <artifactId>atlassian-renderer</artifactId>
  <version>8.0.5</version>
</dependency>

and temporarily solved with the below method

convertXHtmlToWikiMarkup

but just got few minor issues like the above method is not converting <BIG> html tags

Hi Nir - This is great. I'm looking for exactly this - but in PowerShell (!)

Is that easy to provide ? If so would you be kind enough ??

Thanks ;) Andy

Hi @Andrew Hines (!)

Sorry, but i'm not familiar with PowerShell

Hi @Anandraj Rajaram ,

can you please guide me how you resolved this issue?

where you added the library?

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.atlassian.renderer</groupId>
  <artifactId>atlassian-renderer</artifactId>
  <version>8.0.5</version>
</dependency>

and where and how you used below method?

convertXHtmlToWikiMarkup

Hello, @Nir Haimov In one of your answers in this thread you said "You can however look at the implementation i did in one of the exiting packages, and try to do the same in Java".

Is this open source? If yes, can you provide repository links? I am interested in C# sources.

Thank you

Hi @Fabio Silva

This is not exactly an open-source.
What I meant is, if you use one of my packages you can view the package content with your IDE (like visual studio)

Anyway, I made a package for C# https://www.nuget.org/packages/Html2JiraMarkup/

Hi @Nir Haimov ,
If we have table tags in html string its not getting recognised in jira, its just printing table as is. Any known bug ?

Hi @Nir Haimov

I tried to use Html2JiraMarkup on C# and the return value was the same as the HTML original value.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Michael.

Hi @Michael.Leibovitch2

Please share the HTML string you are trying to convert and your code where you tried to use it

@Nir Haimov I used Html2JiraMarkup, but it didn't convert fully. Is that how it is designed to work?

Hi @Suzanna Bryon

Yes, It might not fully convert exactly as expected

Hi Nir,

Is there any package available for NODE JS ?

https://www.npmjs.com/package/html-2-jira-markup JS package did not do a good job for converting HTMLs. So did not use in our case.

Hi Nir Haimov,

Good day.

I also have a same requirement, Is there any JavaScript library to convert html tags into Jira Wiki Markup language to use it in my SAPUI application ?
