Description David Green CLA 2008-08-01 23:20:04 EDT 
The JIRA connector retrieves HTML from the repository.  HTML content is then parsed by connector and converted to plain text for dislpay in the Mylyn UI.  As a result the text is not shown as intended and WikiText integration is not possible.

The connector should retrieve the original plain text (possibly containing lightweight markup) from the JIRA repository.  This will result in more accurate display of the text and will make WikiText integration possible.
Comment 1 Steffen Pingel CLA 2008-08-03 02:36:14 EDT 
If the JIRA connector detects markup in the RSS feed for descriptions or attributes it will retrieve the original source representation and display that. Retrieval of the source representation needs to be implemented for comments as well. As the description points out currently only HTML tags are stripped.
Comment 2 Steffen Pingel CLA 2008-10-05 02:45:01 EDT 
Implemented markup detection for comments. The task editor should display the original markup for comments.

Awesome... can't wait to try it out.  What's the next step for getting WikiText integration into the JIRA connector UI?
Comment 4 Steffen Pingel CLA 2008-10-05 21:05:49 EDT 
The task editor extension needs to be moved out of the sandbox to make it available to all connectors.
