How can I add JSON highlighting to the code in Jira comment?
Is it possible to add a highlighted code to Jira comment? I want to write something like this:
The comment text and JSON doc:
{
"key": 100
}
I've found only one example:
{code:javascript}
{
"key": 100
}
{code}
But it does not really highlight my code. I see only the grey block.
Solution 1:
You can try to add only {code}
at the beginning and end of your code block.
Example:
{code}
{
"key": 100
}
{code}
Solution 2:
Recent Jira 7.5+ starts supporting more languages, including JSON.
Simply use:
{code:json}
...
{code}
