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 action makes a link in Markdown from a selected URL.

The link’s text is the Title of the page fetched from the URL.

For example:

http://dobyfriday.com

Becomes:

[Do By Friday](http://dobyfriday.com)
