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: Saves an image from the camera roll as a jpeg file in the current document's directory, and inserts a markdown image reference.

Nice work! I just have a little suggestion: I think it would be handy to save the image inside a new folder that has the same name as the document currently open but with a suff such as '_images' at the end. This way one document can always be associated with its images.
