Description

« Hide

NOTE - This was escalated from https://support.atlassian.com/browse/JSP-21339

This is related to ~~CONF-2594~~, although that issue only talks about the Noformat problem.

I have a number of tickets that refer to some filepaths that have backslashes immediately followed by underscores. No matter how I try to escape this, JIRA does not display it correctly

example: folder\folder\ _filename.txt — I put an extra space before the underscore here to show you, since it won't display it otherwise.

I've tried double & triple backslashes, noformat, etc.

One backslash, one underscore:
folder_file.txt

Double backslash, one underscore:
folder
_file.txt

Triple backslash, one underscore:
folder\\\_file.txt

Noformat:

One backslash, one underscore:
folder\_file.txt

Double backslash, one underscore:
folder\\_file.txt

Triple backslash, one underscore:
folder\\\_file.txt

Hi John,

Could you please try to replace the '\' with HTML character code? I have tested this and it works for me. For example:

folder\_file.txt

Noformat:
folder&#92;_file.txt
Meanwhile, I will discuss this issue with our developers and see if this is a bug in wiki renderer.

Regards,
Lean

Hi Lean,

This works, but this is a rather awkward workaround. I'd like to see some assurance that this is treated like a bug.
