Today I learned:
Before marking up emphasised passages in a text using italic type or bold type became a thing, there was rubrication: the practice of writing important passages and other parts of a text that required emphasis in red ink.
This did not only include cases we would use italic type for today, but also things like headings or initial letters in a line.
And occasionally, rubrication was used to mark up instructions, e. g. for a priest; the black coloured text would be the text to be spoken aloud, and the red coloured text would contain the instructions for the speaker.
Scribes would sit in their scriptorium (if they had one) and just mark up emphasised passages in red ink. Such scribes were called rubricators.
Some bible editions, called Red Letter Editions, used red ink to mark up words spoken by Jesus Christ specifically.

Today I Learned something, and I want to make a Public Service Announcement: you can create a link that pre-populates fields in Jira before you submit them!
If your server is jira.example.com, then you can use `CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa` with a URL that has the different fields in it.
For instance:
Would create an issue with summary "Please enter your ticket summary" in the project whose `pid` is 1234, of the type encoded by `issuetype=2`, and values for the custom fields encoded by 11011 and 11013 with the options set by values 1011 and 12013, respectively, with the priority encoded by value 5.
You need to find the values for those options custom fields by looking, for instance, at the XML export of a ticket you want to use as template.
For instance, if there is a ticket https://jira.example.com/browse/EXAMPLE-1, you can export it to XML, and look for `project id`, and the number after it is what you have to put after `pid`. Then look for the name of other custom fields, and use the content of the `customfield id` that provides it, and equal it to the value of `customfieldvalue key`.
And for priority, use the value after `priority id` that matches the priority that you want.
Hope that's useful!
