It has a markup language that accomplishes the same thing effectively but has a completely different syntax. This is super annoying when you are bouncing between pull requests in Atlassian Bitbucket and JIRA tickets. I have tried to create a heading with # only to end up with an <ol> at least a hundred times.
I imagine this is because JIRA (2002) predates Markdown (2004), or at least its mainstream popularity when GitHub adopted it.
- denysvitali 6y agoIs that an excuse? If we have to make a fair comparison, HTML 5 is newer than both: is that a reason why one shouldn't not update the procuct? As an additional side note, Jira updates are NOT free. You have to pay for a license fee every year to get the updates + support, but the product unfortunately remains kind of the same: super slow and with missing basic features (e.g: Markdown)
- Can_Not 6y agoIt's like the features of markdown without the convenience and usefulness of markdown.
