If you change the default, what happens to existing tickets? Will Jira attempt to render the existing confluence markup as markdown (and hence lose all formatting)?
I have the following objections to markdown (these can all be worked around by using HTML, but I feel that defeats the point)
- The {noformat} equivalent appears to be block indented - given that we regularly paste log files, unless there's an editor built into jira that supports block indentation, this will be extremely problematic for us (I realise you could go via another editor, but that's an extra annoying step)
- No table support
- Officially, markdown requires links to be enclosed in angle brackets, whereas jira currently auto detects http:// as a link - does using the markdown plugin prevent jira from auto detecting http:// links?
- We have automated tools for filing tickets that use the existing markup language.

Atlassian made a markdown plugin but at this moment is not part of jira core nor we can setup it as default option. I am trying to find out what is the general public oppinion about this. In case there is a strong interest for making markdown the implicit Jira markup language, I could use this data for raising this to Jira PdM.

It should at least be a built in/native option.

Er, why did it record my vote for 'Other (mediawiki)' as 'Markdown'?????

In case you do not know, Jira is currently using a Confluence-like wiki markup language.
