Line 8 now uses draft.processTemplate("[[body]]") instead of draft.content, so NotePlan will display the title once at the top, followed by the body content below it.

Send draft to NotePlan as new note. Then create a new Task with NotePlan note’s link into Things

NotePlan content in Markdown.
Things Task: Title: First Line Description: Draft content + Link to note (easy to open note on Mac/iOS) Project : 📖 Read Later Heading: Read Later on NotePlan Tag: 📘 ReadLater
