So I wrote a bunch of text for a book in a program other than my standard because it's what I had open when I got the inspiration. However, when I copy it over to google docs (where I do most of my work), it copies over the markdown, so bolded text becomes flanked by two asterisk. Turning on "Automatically detect markdown" don't work when pasting over. Anyone know of a way to get Google docs to automatically correct that, or do I just need to go through and manually fix?

OKAY SO
my process:
- post it in a cohost draft
- check out the preview
- copy that
- and paste!
if that doesn't work, pasting it into a Patreon post draft and copying the preview of that is usually the sure-fire way to get Word or something else to recognize the formatting
If the other program has a "read mode" or some way to export text, then maybe.
I know if you throw obsidian into readmode then copypaste over, it'll work. all you gotta do is then unfuck the styling you might have on it.
yeah this is how id do it, usually if your program is a markdown editor, there's a read/preview mode, if you select the text in the read/preview mode and copy that, it should be copied with the styling
I think you can tell Google docs to convert formatting somehow, but don't remember. Zandra's answer is probably easier to figure out
