Clipslate.py adapted for Editorial.

clipto.js

javascript:
(function (t,r) {
    window.location = 'pythonista://clipto?action=run&argv=' + encodeURIComponent(document.title) + '&argv=' + encodeURIComponent(location.href) + '&argv=' + t + '&argv=' + r + '&argv=' + encodeURIComponent(document.getSelection()||'');
})('Sublime','Dropbox')

clipto.py

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""
Adapted from clipslate.py for clipping into Editorial:

- Send the highlighted text as an argument rather than via the clipboard. This requires the use of 'document.getSelection()', which only works when the bookmarklet is activated from the Safari bookmark bar. When activated from the bookmark button, selections are lost. This modification is just a personal preference since the clipboard is wiped out between Pythonista and Editorial anyway.

- Two parameters in the bookmarklet determine the destination file and its root. The following bookmarklet writes to 'Clips/Sublime.md', in the DropBox root:

    javascript: (function () {
    target = 'Sublime';
    root = 'Dropbox';
    window.location = 'pythonista://clipto?action=run&argv=' + encodeURIComponent(document.title) + '&argv=' + encodeURIComponent(location.href) + '&argv=' + target + '&argv=' + root+ '&argv=' + encodeURIComponent(document.getSelection()||'');
    })()

or, suitably compacted as a bookmarklet:

    javascript:(function%20()%7Btarget='Sublime';root='Dropbox';window.location='pythonista://clipto?action=run&argv='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&argv='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&argv='+target+'&argv='+root+'&argv='+encodeURIComponent(document.getSelection()%7C%7C'');%7D)()

- This requires an Editorial action called 'Append' that moves the cursor to the end of the file, then writes the clipboard.

- The 'encodeURIComponent()' may help with unicode characters in the highlighted text, though not verified.

- If the target Editorial file doesn't exist, the action fails, but in the Editorial app with the clipboard payload intact. It can be recovered by creating the specified target file, and then applying the 'Append' action. Perhaps an Editorial create-if-necessary-and-append action is the solution.

- It seems that Editorial's Python could perform Pythonista's formatting to make a one step action.

clipslate.py: capture page title and url and current 
iOS system clipboard and append to a notesy.app file 
in markdown format in order to collect a series of dated,
named and linked pieces of copied plain text for 
later processing
notsey.app x-callback-url implementation is documented at http://notesy-app.com/weblog/files/b7e15801e5b4448495eaaccfdb374cc7-20.htm
This script can be adapted for any other x-callback-url app with an append action

install this script to your pythonista.app top-level directory
 
Create the following bookmark in your browser app with the name
'cs' (or your choice):
 
    javascript:window.location='pythonista://clipslate?action=run&argv='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&argv='+encodeURIComponent(location.href);
 
Then navigate to target page, highlight some text, copy it and tap the cs bookmark
 
Known bug: does not handle unicode characters
 
Known limitation: system clipboard copies plain text from browsers, not HTML, so copied embedded limks are lost
