Drafts Directory: Markdown Strong/Bold

Action

Posted by toniwonkanobi, Last update over 6 years ago

Alternate version of Greg’s Action. This one creates Markdown strong around the selected text with asterisks (). If no text is selected, the Action inserts four asterisks () with the cursor in between them, ready for strong text entry.
