Hi everyone,
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your input and understand the importance of addressing our users' suggestions. Unfortunately, we don't have plans to address this specific suggestion in the next 12 months.
However, I want to assure you that your feedback is valuable to us. Over the last 12 months we have successfully implemented many highly voted suggestions including code-owners, resolvable comments and auto-merge and our upcoming roadmap includes a number of other top voted suggestions including dark theme, draft pull requests and multi-line comments. For the most up-to-date information on what features are coming soon please visit our roadmap.
Meantime, we hope that everyone might consider an established 3rd-party add-on - AsciiDoc Viewer for Bitbucket. Our ecosystem is an important aspect of the product, providing flexibility where people want different or additional functionality, and maintaining simplicity where they don't.
Once again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Your feedback plays a crucial role in shaping the future of our product. We do continually review these priorities and will continue to do so over the coming year to determine when and how we might be able to address this idea. You can learn more about our prioritization process here.
Cheers,
Sarah Bolt
Product Manager - Bitbucket Data Center
Original description
Currently Stash supports Markdown as markup language. It can be used in descriptions/comments and in README file. But other providers like Bitbucket, also offers the possibility to use AsciiDoc format as markup language in README file.
In my opinion providing AsciiDoc support will a really improvement/step forward in Stash and its documentation engine because of the richness offered by AsciiDoc language to cite a few options (tables, fashion inner elements, TOC, ...).
Currently there is one implementation in Java that convert AsciiDoc content to Html code. The library is called AsciidoctorJ, but also there are implementations for Ruby called Asciidoctor, and even for Javascript which is called Asciidoctor Js. All of them are under the umbrella of Asciidoctor.
In case of AsciiDoc format, there are several accepted extensions like .ad, .adoc or .asciidoc, which differs from markdown where the extension is .md.
[BSERV-4769] Add support for AsciiDoc format
The ecosystem for commercial plugins is just broken for us.
We have around 30k users and usually such plugins are used then by a small user base like 100 users. But the Plugins need to be payed for whole user base and it's not justifiable to pay 120.000€ for 100 users. That's why we have to stick with vanilla Bitbucked which lacks features like this and can't use any commercial plugin.
@Felix Chau Exactly. That's the reason we are currently in the process of switching to GitLab. And being forced to move to the DataCenter edition of Bitbucket or to the cloud has been an additional incentive. This switch will probably be the starting point for abandoning Atlassian products. We also use Jira, Fisheye/Crucible and Confluence (we have also a very old feature request on Jira that's in the same status, many customers request it and nothing is done after a few years: prevent editing the comments in the tickets. Atlassian failed to realize these basic requests can be a strong requirement in certain circumstances)
Just pushed my documents to Bitbucket and found out AsciiDoc is still not supported??
Here is my 2 cents for whoever responsible for prioritizing features. If a product continuously failed to delivery features that provides great customer values, you customers will leave you eventually
This feature is a low hanging fruit. The feature is open source and instead the answer is "not this year folks, buy an addon". This feature is standard in Gitlab and Github and is also free in Gitea. See my instructions above for building your own jar file that works on Bitbucket 7.x
Same here, I have actually forgotten that Bitbucket exists, sad. when I think back that it was the first solution where I hosted my git and, back then, mercurial projects. Which also mean I never mentioned it as an alternative in discussions I had in various companies that transitioned to git over the last years.
I can confirm that the self built plugin from the github above works with the LTS release of Bitbucket DataCenter 7.6
We are still waiting for a basic update integrating Asciidoc preview.
Is there a chance this will come one day?
Can you give us what is your position on this type of request?
If someone is still interested in a release with support, we just released a datacenter approved version of the commercial addon: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1222697/asciidoc-viewer-for-bitbucket?hosting=datacenter&tab=pricing
Hey Martin Hollerweger.
We are not able to affect the licensing policies of Atlassian which currently is a 1 to 1 with Bitbucket license pool. We are though able to give you a promotion to hopefully take this to a more reasonable level for you. If this is of any interest, please contact us at support@ncode.fi
