Plug-Ins: Transform Links

A pair of plug-ins for transforming links in the topic and note of the selected outline rows. If no rows are selected, all rows will be processed.

• Replace Markdown Links • This plug-in will replace all occurrences of links in markdown format [Link-Title](Link-URL-String) with link objects.
• Replace Links with Markdown • This plug-in converts all occurrences of link objects into text in markdown link format: [Link-Title](Link-URL-String)

IMPORTANT: Do no run the “Replace Links with Markdown” plug-in if the note currently contains markdown links. Instead, first convert the markdown links to link objects, then run the script.
