Bug Report: Pandoc Jira-Syntax Fixed-Width Markup Parsing Issue

Description of the Problem: Pandoc does not correctly parse/translate (newer?) Jira syntax for fixed-width font. The syntax {{{}fixed width font{}}} is not converted correctly; the nested curly bracket pairs before and after the text remain unchanged in the output.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run the following command:

   timeout 60 pandoc -f jira -t gfm --wrap=preserve --sandbox

2. Use the following Jira-formatted input:

   {{{}fixed width font{}}}
   

3. Observe the output, which incorrectly retains the surrounding curly brackets.

Expected Behavior:
The output should correctly format the fixed-width text without preserving the extra curly brackets.

My Current Workaround: I preprocess Jira markup as follows:

jiraFormattedText = jiraFormattedText
            .replaceAll("\\{\\{\\{", "\\{\\{")
            .replaceAll("\\{\\}\\}\\}", "\\}\\}");

Pandoc Version:

• Version: pandoc-3.6.3-1-amd64.deb
• Operating System: Debian 12 "Bookworm"

It's not clear to me from this report how Jira renders your example. Could you perhaps provide a screenshot? Pandoc's Jira reader/writer references this Atlassian documentation.

This is just rendered as normal fixed width text, no difference to {{fixed width font}} as far as I can tell.

I'm not 100% sure when Jira decides to use this kind of markupm but it seems to be related to fixed-width formatted partial words.

This is what the editor generates:

Test {{monospaced}} word.

Test partially{{{}monospaced{}}} word.

Writing only Test partially{{monospaced}} word. does not change the formatting:
