Jenkins lets users enter description fields in HTML as shown in Figure 14.1, “Setting up project-specific descriptions”. For some teams that are concerned about XSS attacks via the description fields, or have policy preferences towards writing wiki over HTML, this Jenkins Enterprise plugin allows you to use one of several well-known wiki markup formats in place of HTML.
The WikiText Security plugin supports the following wiki markup languages today:
- Confluence. See http://confluence.atlassian.com/renderer/notationhelp.action?section=all for help on Confluence syntax.
- MediaWiki. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting for help on MediaWiki syntax.
- Twiki. See http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TextFormattingRules for help on Twiki syntax.
- Textile. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_(markup_language for help on Textile syntax.
- TracWiki. See http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/WikiFormatting for help on TracWiki syntax.
