      Whatever the original motivation for using wiki markup in JIRA, it has become clear that the software community (e.g. GitHub and even Atlassian's own Bitbucket) favors markdown syntax.

      It is extremely annoying (not to mention productivity lowering) for my students and developers (and me!) to have to switch to wiki syntax when migrating from Bitbucket issue tracking to JIRA. (I say this even though I've used JIRA with wiki syntax for many many, many years; before even using markdown syntax.) Simply put, the JIRA wiki syntax time has passed.

      Please provide us at least the option of choosing a markdown renderer in JIRA Cloud.
