Editorial Workflows

Insert MD-Table

public workflow

Install Workflow...

This workflow contains at least one Python script. Only use it if you trust the person who shared this with you, and if you know exactly what it does.

I understand, install the 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: This Editoral-WF inserts a MD-table template.

It prompts the user to either specify a number of columns e.g 4 or a sequence of L, C or R to specify L(eft), C(enterd) or R(ight) alignment, e.g LLCR. The WF prompts the user also for the number of rows. The table will contain placeholders which can easily be selected for editing by double tapping.

# Insert MD-table,
