Convert TXT JIRA to XML

The Jira/Confluence Wiki Markup, often stored with a TXT file extension, referred to as Wiki Markup, is used in Atlassian's Jira and Confluence applications for creating and formatting content. It allows users to write text in a simplified markup language, which is then converted into rich text. This format is particularly useful for documentation, linking to specific parts of pages, and embedding macros. Wiki Markup has been a part of Confluence since its early versions, enabling users to easily manage and organize information.

XML, or Extensible Markup Language, is a widely used file extension in computer technology. It is designed to store and transport data, enabling structured information exchange between different systems. XML files are both human- and machine-readable, making them versatile for various applications, including web services, configuration files, and data storage. Originating in the 1990s, XML was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to simplify data interchange and ensure platform independence. Its flexibility and extensibility have made it a standard in many IT environments, fostering seamless integration and data sharing across diverse platforms.
