Editorial Workflows

UI Outline

public workflow

Install 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 workflow uses a Custom UI action to generate an outline into a table view from sections in the current document, and allows you to reorder each section.

Changing the regular expression search pattern will allow you to fill the outline with whatever content you wish.

Useful for Taskpaper lists, and can be adapted for iPhone easily.

Update: Saturday September 13, 2014 3:54:02 PM
- Now Preseves spacing for plain text, but adds double spaces for Taskpaper.

That's a really powerful workflow great for moving items quickly and getting an overview. Thanks a bunch for this.

It's cool, can be very helpful, but it doesn't preserve empty lines between headings and/or paragraphs.
Tutorial Doctor — 13 Sep 2014
Yeah. I am working on preserving the empty lines. I think I might have to edit the regular expression.

It now Preseves spaces. If you have any issues, let me know.

You said this could be adapted to work for iPhone. Can you explain how? Thank you!
