Easy way to import into Scrivener?

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:

  1. Set up app-wide default formatting in Scrivener settings.
  2. Copy-paste text from Bike into Scrivener.
  3. 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!
