Every product has a shape people expect it to have, and this is where this one differs from that shape. Nothing here is coming in a particular release; it is simply not offered today.

The page exists so you can plan around it rather than spending an afternoon looking for a switch.

#Not available

  • Macros of any kind. If you are expecting the Confluence Markdown macro or Markdown reference macro, they do not exist here. Jira gets the issue panel and the global page instead.

  • A Jira dashboard gadget for Markdown.

  • Any admin, global settings or project settings screen.

  • A choice of diagram renderer. Every diagram is drawn by Capable's hosted service.

  • Customer-managed egress domain configuration.

  • Your own templates. Only the 17 built-in templates are available in Jira.

  • Real-time collaboration and AI-assisted Markdown generation.

  • Image upload from the editor.

  • Exporting or printing a rendered document. Download the .md attachment instead.

  • Browsing or importing files from GitHub.

  • A Capable suite app for Jira. Markdown for Jira is a standalone app.

  • Confluence-only parts of Capable Markdown, such as the byline, the catalogue and the Markdown reference macro.

#A few things worth knowing

  • If one of these is the reason you are evaluating the product, say so before you buy rather than after.

  • The list changes with each release, so check the release notes before assuming it still applies.

  • Where the app's own wording differs from this page, believe the app.

Better to know now than hunt for a switch.
