Limitações

- Atlassian-proprietary.
- Losing ground to Markdown internally.
- No CommonMark-style spec.
MAN Limitações
- Terse by design — bad for tutorials or beginner-friendly intros.

- No interactive examples or live-editable snippets.
- Mostly replaced by web docs, cheat sheets, and --help output for modern tools.

Upload the JIRA to KaijuConverter and pick DOCX, PDF, ODT, RTF, HTML, Markdown, or plain text. Our pipeline runs LibreOffice headlessly plus pandoc for text formats — the same engines behind professional document pipelines. Styles, tables, images, and hyperlinks survive the conversion intact.
Yes, to a high degree. Standard fonts, headings, lists, tables, images, hyperlinks and page structure transfer cleanly. Custom fonts substitute to the closest match if not embedded; obscure layout features unique to JIRA (frames, legacy macros) may flatten to static content in the target format.
