Capture entire, markdown-formatted Discourse threads in a single draft.

I've been using a prior version of this Shortcut to save threads from Discourse for years, now - the vast majority of these being from Drafts' community forums. Since I took the time to update it with new native actions, I thought I'd share.

Standard shared thread URLs are accepted as input, converted to Discourse's native raw text links, and then scraped.

By default the raw contents are appended to my preferred "frontmatter," like so:

# "{title}" - {host}
Updated `DavodTime`

- [**Discourse**]({url})

{content}
