[jira] [Commented] (INFRA-6256) Enable wiki markup in Log4j2 project text fields

["Sebb (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-6256?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13655261#comment-13655261 ] 

Sebb commented on INFRA-6256:
-----------------------------

Note that enabling markup may cause some existing issues to display incorrectly if they happen to use markup as part of the text.

It's fairly easy to accidentally use markup - I have had to correct quite a few Commons issues that displayed fine in the mailed copy but were tricky/impossible to read in JIRA.
Also by default only the original author can fix comments (the description is usually editable by project admins). Further, as far as I can tell it's not possible to easily view the raw text (except by starting to edit it).

I'm not saying don't use Wiki markup, but it's not without its drawbacks.

> Enable wiki markup in Log4j2 project text fields. Right now, we can only do plain text, so cannot use markup like {code:java}.
