Extra Workflows

This page contains additional workflows that you may find useful, depending on what kinds of documents you work with.

For even more workflows from the community, also check out the Editorial Workflow Directory.

You can find more information on how to build your own workflows in the chapter Building Workflows.

Markdown

Convert to Ordered List
Converts the selected lines to an ordered (numbered) list. You can also use this to fix the numbers of an existing list, so that they start from one.

Add Workflow

Convert to Unordered List
Converts the selected lines to an unordered (bullet point) list. If the selection is a list already, the list markers are removed first, so that you can also use this to convert an ordered list to an unordered one.

Add Workflow

Insert Footnote
Inserts an automatically numbered footnote (including definition), without changing the cursor position.

Add Workflow

"Lucky Link"
Replaces the selected word(s) with a Markdown link that points to the first Google result. For example, if you have "Markdown" selected, it is replaced with "[Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown)" – inspired by Google's "I'm feeling lucky" button.

Note: This workflow relies on an inofficial Google API that may stop working in the future.

Add Workflow

Convert to PDF
Converts a Markdown or plain text document to PDF. The result is shown in a browser tab.

Add Workflow

TaskPaper

Archive @done
Moves @done tasks in a TaskPaper document to the archive (created if necessary). If a task is in a project, a @project(name) tag is appended automatically. Note that this ignores indentation and doesn't handle sub-projects though.

Add Workflow

Focus on Tag...
After picking a tag from the list of tags in the current document, only tasks that contain this tag are shown, everything else is hidden (folded).

Add Workflow

Fountain

Fountain to PDF
Converts a Fountain document to PDF using the screenplain Python module. The result is shown in a browser tab.

Add Workflow

Miscellaneous

Print
Prints the current document as plain text or HTML, using AirPrint

Add Workflow

Diff with Clipboard
Shows a diff that compares the current document with text in the clipboard. The diff is shown in the Preview panel.

Note: A different version of this workflow was included by default in previous versions of Editorial. This version's output is more readable overall.

Add Workflow

Editorial Backup
Saves or restores a backup of all Editorial workflows, snippets, bookmarks, and local documents as a zip file in Dropbox (this requires your Dropbox account to be linked).

Add Workflow

Sort Selection
Sorts the selected lines of text alphabetically.

Add Workflow

Generate Lorem Ipsum
Shows a custom UI to generate a configurable amount (number of sentences/paragraphs) of 'Lorem Ipsum' placeholder text. The text can be copied to the clipboard or inserted directly in the current document.

Note: This workflow was installed by default in previous versions of Editorial.

Add Workflow

Calculator
A Python-based calculator UI, shown in a popover (iPad) or full-screen (iPhone).
