      Hi @mcburton,

      Thanks for your bibtex workflow, I happily use it with Papers 3 for iOS (which can now export bib files).
      It is part of my academic writing together with my md->html_tex workflow. If interested, my workflow is able to create html and tex files taking care of local and remote images, tables, formulas, etc.
      The html file can then be opened in another app or uploaded to a web service (e.g. for students or collaborators), while the tex project is zipped with the images and can be then be imported in TexPad or TexWriter.
      Both papers and presentations are supported. For presentations, deck is required (either locally or on the remote server) for html files and beamer is used for tex files.

      Cheers

        Great thread! I have a workflow, Send to Docverter that might be relevant here. Docverter is a web service that uses Pandoc under the hood, so my workflow can (with an Internet connection) convert from Markdown, HTML, Latex to MD, HTML, Tex, PDF (using Flying Saucer), EPUB, or even DOCX.

        I'm hoping soon to add Pandoc's template capabilities, but unfortunately Docverter does not support Pandoc's citation features.

          Ive just made a workflow called Highlighter which allows you to use CSS to style markdown.

          This particular workflow allows you to highlight a specified keyword and change it's color, and it's background color, but it can be adapted to change the color of selected text also. Also I am working on a Justification workflow to align text (based on this workflow.)

            How does the styling work, in MD / CSS / HTML terms?

            Might be especially helpful for Evernote if it's compliant.

              I've uploaded a text decoration workflow as well as a marker workflow. (For underlining and strike-troughs).

              Any text in the editor can be wrapped in an html tag. Then all you have to do is add an inline CSS
              style attribute.

              At first I thought I had to covert markdown to html, but I was pleasantly surprised that the editor's preview window for markdown picked up the html tags.

              I am not sure how it displays it, but it does!

              More formatting workflows to come! I will do tables eventually.

                  `# My workflows for scholarly writing:

                  • Justify

                  sets font color, alignment, and font size of the selected text.

                  • Format

                  makes bold, italic, <u>underlined</u>, strike-through, >blockquote, snippet , <sup>superscript</sup>, <sub>subscript</sub>, or <span style="text-decoration:overline">overline</span> the selected text.

                  • Marker

                  Marks the <mark>selected text</mark>, as with a yellow highlighter.

                  • Highlighter

                  changes the text color/background-color of a use-specified <b style="color:red; background-color:yellow;text-align:center">word</b>.

                  The forum doesn't show the markdown as it was in the preview. Just copy and paste this post into a markdown document to see the partial results.

                    This should be a great addition but I can't get this to work. It keeps telling me that I need to put in the user and key even after placing these in the proper place in the script.

                      I am working on an APA and MLA workflow for creating a bibliography page. APA is done, just need to finish the MLA part.

                        TutorialDoctor, any chance you'd make a Chicago/Turabian footnote & bibliography tool?

                        Or maybe just share how you'd go about building a footnote generator that pops up, requests info, then formats & inserts it properly. I can poke around and figure out how to get it to Chicago/Turabian. The Workflow actions and Python are daunting for an utter newbie.

                        I can see the ridiculous power we have at our fingertips in Editorial, but most of that power is at the top of a fairly steep learning curve. I'll get there. Slowly.

                          Hi aminatelli. I am always looking for workflows to make, and also for ways to speed up that process. Also, I try to make that curve not so steep for newcomers, so I have posted nearly 100 workflows. I have a few tutorial workflows as well.

                          Your request sounds like a challenge I'll take. It shouldn't be too hard.

                          All of my workflows can be used for learning also (I try to design them that way).

                          Take care.

                          APA & MLA (in progress)
