[Project Share] [v0.3.0] Format Task Description For Markdown

I have just released v0.3.0 for the Format Task Description For Markdown task on github that can be used to format an exported tasker task or profile description/code into a more readable and markdown compatible format for websites like reddit and github.

The initial release reddit thread is here.

I have also posted it on TaskerNet, considering that downloading from github releases and uncompressing zips and installing XMLs is relatively harder, specially for amateur users. Hopefully, that should increase user adoption, and then making it easier for other people to read task descriptions when users post them.

It also now supports profile descriptions.

Instructions for use are on the github page. To see an example output of formatted task description with split_action_parameters_on_multiple_lines disabled check here and with split_action_parameters_on_multiple_lines enabled check here. Open github links in desktop mode in your browser so that they are easier to view. For chrome for android, it is 3 dots/options - > Desktop site.

Let me know if you face any issues related to the task.

Changelog Check the CHANGELOG.md file for the changes.

Updates

Forgot to mention that splitting on multiple lines has currently only been tested and working in tasker v5.9.3 and the previous beta versions, it may break in future versions, I will need to fix the task for future versions if it breaks and users will need to install the task update.

To automatically run the task when you copy description of a task inside tasker, just use Variable Set event for the %CLIP variable and put in ~R(?m)^\s{4}\tA1: . as the value, and run the Format Task Description For Markdown task as entry task.

Final Update To This Post A new post is created here which will be used for any possible future releases. It also provides details for v0.4.0. Use the updated v0.4.0 task for Tasker v.5.12.3-beta support.
