Just thought I’d share a tip I just found.
When copying text from somewhere, or an img link and needing to paste it precisely in between bored tags.
So copy it as you normally do. Highlight the text or link and choose copy.
Now in your post click either the quote or image tag as needed. Then simply tap screen with three fingers and push fingers outward from each other. This will paste the text in between the tags (or where the cursor currently is.)
This is instead of what I was doing, and trying to exactly tap twice in between the tags to bring up the menu option to paste.

Going to add another one.
Scanning signed documents with iPhone and making it a pdf.
Go in to the notes application.
Create new blank note
Click on camera icon and choose scan document
Then photo each page in order, and choose/fix page boundaries (so it just has the page) - it automatically detects page boundaries and resizes it brilliantly.
Then you can save it as a pdf to files or to another application (probably email)
Just need to get the lighting right so no shadows from phone, and it comes out fine. And take out staples, one page at a time on a flat surface.

Cheers, mate! Second one I already had looked up some time ago, it is quite helpful, yet ponderous, thus forgot how it worked. First one is ace, I have been caught shouting at the phone with the regular way.

Oh and for those who struggle to get image links within a page.
No idea on safari (not sure it can be done)
Using chrome as a browser on iPhone.
Long press the image until you get open image in new tab. Then go to that new tab, and select the url in the window.

Just hit the return/enter key twice to put a gap between the start and end tags then simply paste in the gap. That's what I do.
