Jira issue description markdown/wiki type

Question

Is there an official name for the markup used in Jira issues? It's not a flavor of Markdown or wiki syntax I'm familiar with.

Extra points if you have a syntax highlighting plugin for Jira (not Confluence)!

Thanks!

Atlassian has its own wiki formatting language that is used in JIRA. Syntax highlighting is supported via {code} blocks:

{code:title=Bar.java|borderStyle=solid}
// Some comments here
public String getFoo()
{
    return foo;
}
{code}

{code} blocks support the following languages:

The default language is Java but you can specify others too, including ActionScript, Ada, AppleScript, bash, C, C#, C++, CSS, Erlang, Go, Groovy, Haskell, HTML, JavaScript, JSON, Lua, Nyan, Objc, Perl, PHP, Python, R, Ruby, Scala, SQL, Swift, VisualBasic, XML and YAML.
