Formatting Jira comments with markdown like syntax

Jira Tables

Tables are in the format of:

||Header 1||Header2 ||
|Content1| Content2|
|Content 1a| Content2a|

This is handy to know so you can use PowerShell to query data and output it in this way to nbe easiluy pasted into a Jira comment field.

While not exactly markdown, Jira does support using

(x)

(/)

for ticks. Useful to know.
