Editorial Workflows

Add To Footnote

public workflow

Install Workflow

This is a workflow for Editorial, a Markdown and plain text editor for iOS. To download it, you need to view this page on a device that has the app installed.

Description: Finds the footnote next to the cursor by taking the closest word and seeing if there is a matching footnote in the document. It uses a regex to do that.

If one is found (one of the reasons you should use unique footnote names, so there is no confusion), it lets you add text to it by requesting new input.
