Editorial Workflows

Post Markdown to WordPress

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: Take a Markdown document and post it to a WordPress blog. Since WordPress now will accept Markdown directly there is no conversion to HTML done on the document. This workflow allows choosing a category(ies), entering post tags, and choosing a post status.

The workflow also looks for a Multimarkdown "Title:" tag at the top of the file. If one is found a choice of that title or the file name is given for use as the post title.

Enter your blog details in the parameters for the Get Connection Details action. "Service" is just a key used to store your blog password; it can be anything you like. Reset Password, copied from Federico Viticci's posting workflow, allows you to clear your stored password.
