Copy Checklist From Taskpaper

New shortcut Copy Checklist from Taskpaper for iOS 13 beta users:

Takes any TaskPaper-formatted text coming from the share sheet or clipboard and strips out the extra details, getting just the names of the checklist items in a rich text unordered list.

Three screenshots from the Shortcuts app, showing user copying a TaskPaper list out of one, running it through the linked shortcut, and showing a final result of a Markdown-formatted checklist.

Built this for myself today, after I found an OmniFocus template I had created in the past that I wanted to put it into Things instead.

It had a bunch of TaskPaper cruft I’d have to manually delete – now, I can run the template through this and end up with a nice checklist.
