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: Converts the current document to a list, with one item per line. Shuffles this list, then chooses k number of items per group and prints. Randomly draws an additional number of items as needed to complete group.
