Github markdown to Jira/Confluence markup using pandoc

gistfile1.txt

pandoc -f gfm -w jira -o outfile.jira infile.md

# To import converted file into Confluence:
#  - Create new page
#  - Click on the body of the page, click on the " + \/" dropdown in toolbar ("Insert more content") and select "Markup"
#  - Paste the contents into the pop-up window (select "Confluence wiki" as the format)
#     - Note: The "Markdown" option in the import pop-up doesn't seem to work for Github flavored markdown (gfm).

FYI: there is no jira writer in my pandoc version when I tried this approach on 2021-12-23 with (X)Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:

pandoc 2.5
Compiled with pandoc-types 1.17.5.4, texmath 0.11.2.2, skylighting 0.7.7

According to https://pandoc.org/changelog.txt the jira output writer was introduced with pandoc v2.7.3 (2019-06-11).
