 # mistune-jira
-A Jira Rendering Engine for Mistune
+
+A Jira Rendering Engine for Mistune. 
+
+[Mistune](https://github.com/lepture/mistune) is awesome. It does an amazing job of parsing
+markdown. It has the ability to take those documents and export them in different sytaxes.
+This is an attempt to write a parser for 
+[Atlassian's Markup Language used in Jira and some other tools](https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/WikiRendererHelpAction.jspa?section=all).
+
+The goal is to be able to have data in markdown and then use that markdown to create a well formatted
+ticket in Jira. 
+
+Hopefully Jira will someday fully support markdown and make this project irrelevant.
