描述

Editorial is a plain text editor for iOS with powerful automation tools and a beautiful inline preview for Markdown, TaskPaper, and Fountain documents.

Features:

* Inline Markdown/Fountain Preview – With Editorial's subtle syntax highlighting, you can see your document's formatting immediately while you're writing. And when you need a full HTML preview, it's just a swipe away.

* Extensible with Workflows and Scripts – Select from over 50 text processing actions to create your own workflows for extending Editorial's feature set. For even more advanced automation, you can write Python scripts with an integrated code and UI editor.

* Dropbox Sync – The sync folder is customizable, so you can easily edit your documents with multiple apps.

* Smart Keyboard – The extended keyboard was specifically designed for writing Markdown and includes all the special characters you need. You can also control the cursor with simple swipe gestures.

* Snippets – Quickly insert frequently-used pieces of text by typing abbreviations. Snippets can include dynamic text, e.g. the current date or clipboard contents. TextExpander™ snippets are also supported.

* In-App Browser – If you need to do some quick research while writing, you don't have to leave the app for that. You can even open multiple tabs.

* "Folding" allows you to quickly hide individual sections of your document while you're writing.

版本 1.3.4

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

• Added support for the iPhone X with its native resolution.
• Changed toolbar color in the preview/accessory panel – this makes it easier to distinguish the preview from the editor.
• Improved performance for switching between dark and light mode.
• The accessory panel (preview, in-app browser...) uses the same tab bar UI on iPhone and iPad now.
• Removed support for the public workflow directory. Your shared workflows will remain online for the foreseeable future, but the directory will soon become read-only. You can still share workflows using the "Copy Workflow" feature, of course, which is more flexible anyway, as it allows you to put your workflows in any plain text file.
• Fixed an issue with explanatory text in the settings being displayed incorrectly (particularly on small screens).
• Fixed footnote navigation in Markdown preview.
• Fixed table view actions not being executed in "Custom UI" workflow actions.
• Fixed a few issues with inline boneyard in Fountain documents.

Two stars deducted for no access to iCloud and spilt view

Can’t access to iCloud (it shouldn’t be difficult to add this feature nowadays)

Suggest the developers add a split view for both raw text and markdown preview (more useful than inline preview in my perspective)

Customisable

Customisable

I use OneNote before. Read the review on MacStories, I decided to try this app. Using markdown is easy and I can just swipe right to preview the document (act as reading mode).

Snippet is a time-saving feature. I can type my defined abbreviation to paste the clipboard (type "ppp" to paste), insert the date. Or, Workflow enables me to add text colours (HTML code).

Arranging paragraph is definitely essential as I type frequently everything down first and organise the content later.

The selection can remains selected no matter the keyboard is present or not.

Also, viewing the table of content is really a killer feature for me to overview the content.

Renaming a file is simple. Just long-pressed the file name as if I can in Preview on Mac.

Task paper mode helps me scheduling things and I can use the link `editorial://open/fileName` to jump to another file.

Images can be viewed offline in the preview page, just a little bit complicated to insert though.

Well-designed markdown editor on iOS.

#Suggestions
- Hide images/Sort files by types (say, Taskpapers place higher)
- Long press a file to select, providing one more way as same as tapping the "Edit"
- Import multiple photos (though I can use Dropbox app)
- Long press "arrange paragraph" toggle to select (though I can use two-finger tap gesture/workflow)

#Other Recommendations
- Pinning files
- Export from Preview
- Style for Editor
- Returning the original file if I tap the editorial:// link method
- Support Siri "Remind me about this"
- Gesture options, like triple-tap to search the content, pinch to fold
- Show file name in the Preview tab title
- Line numbers in the editor

Thumbs up.
