Markdown to Atlassian Document Format (ADF) translation

Transform Github Markdown text into Atlassian Document Format (ADF)*

* ADF is JIRA and Confluence to describe complex formatted text.

Overview

When bridging tools between Github, Wikipedia and other Markdown-based wiki or document system, there's no tool to convert the formatted text into the equivalent syntax in JIRA or Confluence. This library does exactly that. It allows you to take any markdown (Github focussed for now) and translate it into a JIRA/Confluence compatible ADF document.

Motivation

While writing a Github Action to push Github Issues into JIRA Subtask, we ended up stuck unable to pass complex formatting from the issue into JIRA, which rendered the interest of the tools much lower. That's why we embarked on translating Github Markdown into a syntaxically correct ADF document.

Getting Started

Install Markdown To ADF

npm install md-to-adf

Import/require the translate function:

• As a require

  const fnTranslate    = require( 'md-to-adf' )

• As a module

  import fnTranslate from 'md-to-adf'

Pass it the Markdown (Github) formatted text and get the full ADF Document returned

const translatedADF = fnTranslate( myJIRAFormattedTextContent )

You're done!
