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: Convert a Markdown document to HTML and call an app that makes PDF out of that.

Contains a general purpose script to pass data to other apps (that have a URL scheme) using a temporary local web server.
