Compiling and removing italics

I know you can find italics with find by formatting, but can you strip italics from your project when compiling at once like strikethru, hyperlinks, text color or must you search and eliminate on a case by case basis. Could not find the answer in the manual.

No Seach and Replace formatting (yet).

This is a good case for the benefits of using styles to mark up the text, rather than raw formatting. Adding the style to the compile format’s Styles list, and setting it to use regular instead of italic, would do the trick.

I would use whatever tools Scrivener provides for selecting similar formatting, or finding by formatting, to fix the source text, so that you can get to that point of making design decisions like this.

You could Ctrl+A (Windows) to highlight everything and then remove italics, strikethroughs, etc., but I imagine this could be tedious for a full novel as opposed to a short story.

Apparently not. On Windows, it would only select the current document’s content in the Editor.
Strangely, Ctrl-Q, which doesn’t require you to select any text to change straight quotes to smart quotes, appears to work across documents. So, it’s the text selection that’s the showstopper.
