Getting plain text if I convert html table to JIRA markup rich text

[dchouksey89]

I am trying to convert HTML string but it is giving me plain text. I need to convert to Jira markup which i can push to the description field of JIRA issue.

HTML String
`
String htmlString="<table style="width:100%">\r\n" +
" FirstnameLastnameAge\r\n" +
" JillSmith50\r\n" +
" EveJackson94\r\n" +
" JohnDoe80\r\n" +
"";

`

Output:
FirstnameLastnameth>AgeJillSmith50EveJackson94JohnDoe80

Expeted outout: somthing like that for table format
||Heading 1||Heading 2|| |Col A1|Col A1| |Col A1| Col A1| |Col A1|  Col A1| |Col A1|Col A2|

Hi @dchouksey89 :)

The problem is with the HTML you have. Currently I see all the data mushed into a single table element, delimited by \r\n. HTML delimits by element. Here's the input you're looking for:

<table>
<tr>
  <th>First Name</th>
  <th>Last Name</th>
  <th>Age</th>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td>Jill</td>
  <td>Smith</td>
  <td>50</td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td>Eve</td>
  <td>Jackson</td>
  <td>94</td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td>John</td>
  <td>Doe</td>
  <td>80</td>
</tr>
</table>

Each row represents an one of your items, and the first row specifically displays the headers. With this as your input you get the following output:

|| First Name || Last Name || Age ||
| Jill | Smith | 50 |
| Eve | Jackson | 94 |
| John | Doe | 80 |

You can't preview it here, unfortunately. However when I enter this into JIRA I can see this:

I've committed an example for you to reference, however, I recommend that you read some w3schools reference material to help you along in the future.
