I'd like to create a workflow that works in the following way: - Select some text in an app in OSX - Invoke Alfred - Type: 'mb' and press Return - Have Alfred take the selection and wrap it like **selection** - Paste into the frontmost app, replacing the selection without adding a line break Why? I'd like to have these shortcuts available for quickly adding Markdown syntax to text, primarily: Bold - 'mb' - selection -> **selection** Italic - 'mi' - selection -> *selection* I don't want to use a Hotkey for this but rather type "mb" return or "mi" return. Any thoughts? Or any existing workflows I could take a look at that do something similar? As a sidenote, now that Alfred is supporting JavaScript, would this be feasible with that new feature? Thanks!

I upgraded to OS X 10.10.3 and now Alfred cannot find my markdown files. I seemed to try everything in this guide http://support.alfredapp.com/kb:indexing, but maybe there's something I missed. Here's what all I tried. 1) OS X Spotlight Preferences > Privacy. No folders were listed. I added the folder and removed it. 2) OS X Spotlight Preferences > Search Results. All boxes are checked 3) Alfred Search scope is set to the right folder. I removed and re-added the folder. 4) File permissions: I set all the files in the folder (and the folder itself) to Chmod 777. 5) I rebuilt the OS X spotlight index ("Rebuild OSX Metadata"). It took over an hour, but I let it complete fully. Spotlight actually sees the files just fine but Alfred doesn't. 6) File Types: I removed and re-added the markdown file type in Alfred (Features > Default Results > Advanced) 7) I refreshed the Alfred cache ("reload") If I type "find" or use the shortcut ( ' ), the file shows up, but just typing the filename doesn't pull up anything. Here is an interesting hint - when I enable "Unintelligent (Search all file types)" in Features > Default Results, the markdown files show up! Not sure what is happening, though... Alfred v2.6 (374) OSX 10.10.3 Thanks. -
Overview TOC Workflow creates, updates and removes a markdown table of contents that can be useful when writing a more complex document. It should work fine when exported to a html document. Note that, due a bug/limitation of current OSX PDF print function, TOC will not work in a PDF saved/converted by most of writing applications. How to Use Create a TOC open your markdown editor and type your text when you finish it show Alfred and type the keyword toc press Return key the workflow will select the text, copy it, add the TOC and anchor, then paste the text back You can also set a hotkey to create a TOC. Update a TOC If you have edited the text after inserting the TOC then just run the keyword toc again and the workflow will create an updated TOC. Remove a TOC The workflow can also remove the TOC and anchors for good. It can be handy if you e.g. want to work with a cleaner text, without TOC and anchors. To remove show Alfred, type the keyword toc, hold Command key then press Return key. You can also set a hotkey to remove it. Screenshots Type your markdown text as always and don't you worry about TOC: Show Alfred, type the keyword toc then press return key (or use the hotkey) to create a TOC and the anchors: Preview the document to see the TOC: Download Before using the workflow for good make some tests and backup your texts first.

The Readme workflow opens the README.md of any npm module within its associated application. This is generally a Markdown file, so you will want a Markdown viewer. I use Marked 2. Here's a list of Markdown-related applications. This is incredibly handy if you're working with a lot of npm modules; I use it constantly--especially when fussing with a bunch of Grunt tasks. For the curious, it works by simply asking npm for the "readme" data of a module, saves it to a temp file, then opens it. Known Issues: No feedback if it can't find the module you're looking for. No autocompletion Current Version: v1.0 Dependencies: NodeJS & the internets Download: Packal / GitHub / Direct

I am having a very difficult time figuring out why when searching similar files (in-content search), Alfred only shows some but not other files. My text files look like this: Tags: #client Status: #active Note content My Alfred search is setup to search within folder - Title + Content search. When I search for "#client client name" Alfred only reveals some files but not others. Spotlight shows all files. Any ideas?

Hi - I wanted to try to make at least one significant contribution to the beta, so here's a workflow that allows you to send selected markdown formatted text to Evernote via a hotkey. Not all my own work I'm sorry to say, but a flow I've wanted for a while and only investigated properly recently. (I spend a lot of time taking notes and writing up reports. Markdown support in Evernote would be ideal, but until then - Alfred comes to the rescue) It requires the installation of multimarkdown - available here: http://fletcherpenney.net/multimarkdown It reuses a script available here: http://nsuserview.kopischke.net/post/6223792409/i-can-has-some-markdown Evernote note title, notebook and tags can all be specified via markdown metadata. All other text is then imported to Evernote as HTML. Workflow available to download here: http://d.pr/f/2pUe Updated: Corrected issue with non-escaped double quotes

This is a new version continuation of my workflow 'iA Writer Markdown', but it works with any markdown application you are using instead of only iA Writer + some other changes. This workflow can be used to do 2 things in any markdown application: Grabs the URL from either Safari or Google Chrome, and uses it to format a markdown link on selected text in any markdown application. Grabs an image URL from the clipboard, and uses it to format a markdown image in any application (uses the frontmost application). How to use the workflow - TEXT LINKS: The first time you use the workflow you have to choose between 2 browser - Google Chrome or Safari. It'll be remembered by the workflow for later use, so you won't have to do this each time you use it. To reset the choice of browser, use the following keywords in Alfred: markurl reset When the setup is done you can follow the instruction in the image below. How to use the workflow - INSERT IMAGE: To format an image you have to copy an image adress to the clipboard before you use the workflow. Use the following keyword to format/insert the image: img If you want to control the width of the image, add it behind the 'img' keyword (like the image below). Download Markdown Help 1.0 -
I am considering the Alfred Powerpack for a rather specific use (although if it works, I guess others will follow): I started writing in markdown (in Ulysses III to be precise). It can save to FILE.md, and then 1. I open the terminal, 2. make terminal know in which directory the file resides (in my case standard: cd Documents/Pandoc ) 3. type pandoc -o FILE.tex --template=TEMPLATE.xelatex FILE.md 4. and then in TeXshop I search and replace (because I often use very specific environments, which I cannot do without) \textbackslash{} to \ \{ to { \} to } 5. and finally I can run XeLaTeX on it. It would be nice to create a workflow for steps 1-4. Can James, sorry, Alfred do this? All the best, Willem

!!! Follow this link to the newest version instead - this version supports both Safari and Chrome, and any markdown application you "throw at it". This workflow has 2 uses in iA Writer - to format text links and images (html, IMG tag). Text links To format a markdown link - In iA Writer you select the text you want to use as anchor text in the link, then you use the workflows shortcut or the Alfred command 'link' (no argument). A textbox will appear, prefilled with the URL from the frontmost Safari tab. The user can change this URL before proceeding. When you press 'Enter' the selected text in iA Writer will be formatted as a text link in markdown. Images To insert a image in iA Writer with this workflow, you do as follows: 1. First, make sure you copy the image URL from the web to the clipboard. 2. Activate Alfred and use the following command(s): the number after the tag 'IMG' is optional, and will set the width of the image you format. Dependencies - iA Writer running - IMG insert needs a pre-copied URL in the clipboard before executing the command. Download iA Writer Markdown Help 1.1
