Found an easy fix for this. Turns out Scrivener can apply default formatting to the entire document, preserving the bolds, italics etc.
For anyone else looking for this fix:
- Set up app-wide default formatting in Scrivener settings.
- Copy-paste text from Bike into Scrivener.
- In Scrivener, select document, then go Documents → Convert → Text to Default formatting. Keep all checkboxes except “Remove all styles” unchecked.
Boom, done.
Now I can write in Bike and do revisions later in Scrivener. Looking forward to this!
