Description
Hi all, Ethan here from the Atlassian platform Editor team. Wanted to share that the rich-text editor in Jira, along with the wider suite of Atlassian cloud products, support Markdown shortcuts including inline code. See the attached recording for how to access this in the Editor, as well as other Markdown shortcuts via the help dialog.

My team and I are actively looking into Markdown related feedback for the platform Editor. We'd love to chat with anyone that'd be willing to share more on the Markdown-related challenges they face using our products, or any other opportunities for that matter to improve the editing experience for our customers: https://calendly.com/eyew/30min
Thanks all and stay safe,
Ethan
Adding programming code in the description field in JIRA is painful. If you are adding the code inline, such as this.code(here) then you highlight it, and pick Style -> Preformatted (but only when this editor is in Text mode, if you are in Visual mode then it turns the whole paragraph into preformatted text).
If you instead try to add code inline by using the + and picking code then this.code(here) becomes
this.code(here)
which isn't right as its no longer inline.
If you want to do a code block then you can't use the Style -> Preformatted option because
{{public void sillyMethod()
{ System.out.println("HI MOM"); }}}is shown instead of what was intended (which is right when using the + --> code option)
public void sillyMethod() { System.out.println("HI MOM"); }
which is right.
Compare this to the backtick option that's used by most other tools, including BitBucket! where `this.code(here)` would work and so would the triple backticks for
```
public void sillyMethod()
{ System.out.println("HI MOM"); }
```
Please support Markdown in the Description field, or at least the backticks.
