Add a new --markdown flag to `jira issue view` that outputs raw markdown without terminal formatting (glamour). This enables piping issue content to files or other tools that expect plain markdown. The existing --plain flag still processes output through glamour with the 'notty' style, which adds formatting artifacts. The new --markdown flag bypasses glamour entirely and outputs the raw markdown string. Also ensures separator and footer text avoid ANSI escape codes when --markdown is used.
Add a new --no-emoji flag that replaces emoji with bracketed text labels in the issue header. This provides a cleaner output for users who prefer text-only formatting or have terminal/font issues with emoji rendering. Example output with --no-emoji: [Sub-task] [Backlog] Updated: Tue, 09 Dec 25 Assignee: Unassigned Key: ATH-1665 # Issue Summary Created: Tue, 09 Dec 25 Reporter: Name Priority: Medium Components: None Can be combined with --markdown for fully text-based markdown output.
