Link Multiple Selections

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: Given multiple saved text selections (type "n" to break the repeat loop), the workflow add an inline link for each non-contiguous selection from the built-in browser.
