Adding Code with Comments in a JIRA

I was trying to add some code in a JIRA [1] and the comments starting with # in the code were appearing as bullets [2]. I was using Atlassian JIRA v6.0.1. This was distorting the information that I was adding in the JIRA. I added a backslash \ together with the special characters to over come this issue [3] & [4].

For example:
[1] Initial JIRA Description Input
# Extensions for a typical CA 
# PKIX recommendation. 
subjectKeyIdentifier=hash 
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid:always,issuer


[2] Initial JIRA Description Output
1. Extensions for a typical CA 
2. PKIX recommendation. 
subjectKeyIdentifier=hash 
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid:always,issuer

[3] Modified JIRA Description Input 
\# Extensions for a typical CA 
\# PKIX recommendation. 
subjectKeyIdentifier=hash 
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid:always,issuer

[4] Correct JIRA Description Output
# Extensions for a typical CA 
# PKIX recommendation. 
subjectKeyIdentifier=hash 
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid:always,issuer
