Editorial Workflows

Current line to Fantastical

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: (Generalisation of Derek Fay's very useful 'Selection to Fantastical')

1. Gets the whole text of the line containing the cursor,
2. prepares a version of the line in which *any* date/times enclosed in TaskPaper-style tags will be intelligible to Fantastical, and
3. sends the cleaned line to Fantastical for parsing.
