This module plugs into the regular Org Export Engine and transforms Org files to JIRA markup for pasting into JIRA tickets & comments.
My last three jobs I’ve had to use JIRA, and had to deal with its (to me) incredibly unintuitive markup format. Having discovered—and fallen in love with—Org mode I now find myself writing everything in Org and exporting to various other formats (html, markdown, plain text) but I haven’t been able to find a way to export to JIRA. So I am attempting to write one, and learn about Emacs package development at the same time.
In an Org buffer, hit C-c C-e j j to bring up \*Org Export Dispatcher\*
and export it as a JIRA buffer. I usually use C-x h to mark the whole
buffer, then M-w to save it to the kill ring (and global pasteboard) for
pasting into JIRA issues.
This library is on Melpa. You can install it like this:
M-x package-install RET ox-jira RET
If you don’t want to install from Melpa, simply clone this repo and do one of:
M-x org-babel-load-file RET ox-jira.org RET
Or:
M-x load-file RET ox-jira.el RET
Very immature. Positively juvenile. Please don’t laugh.
Saying that, it now does pretty much everything I need it to. YMMV :-)

I’m happy to consider contributions. Since this is my first attempt at an Emacs package I’ve bound to have made lots of mistakes. Help me correct them, and keep the pull requests coming!
Code contributions have a lot better chance of being merged if they come with tests. However, code contributions are not everything. Opening an issue with a reproducible test case, like “I expected this but got this” is also a valuable contribution.
The source and tests both lives in .org files and is “tangled” into
corresponding .el files. Running the ./run-tests.sh script automatically
takes care of that process. You’ll need Cask installed to run this script.
