Jira Rest API transforming "1." "2." into #

[Glenn]

Am I doing something wrong?

curl -D- -u user:password -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" 'https://myserver/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=ABC%20AND%20issueType=story&fields=description&maxResults=2'

If the description field contains 1. 2. .... the output in Rest shows #

1.  My first point

2. My second point

becomes 

{"description":"# My first point\r\n # My second point\r\n"}

It's converting it to markdown.

I see, Jira is storing content as markdown but the GUI expands the codes to the formatting as you sent.  Great answer!

[Randy]

Yup.  You can also get both the markdown and rendered versions from the API when retrieving.  This is a good thing!

[Glenn]

How do you get rendered through REST?

[Glenn]

Nvm, now that you said the term I knew what to look for.

Thanks again!
