When copying and pasting from Scrivener into a manuscript the paragraph breaks aren't copied across correctly, instead becoming line breaks.

I've tried this using Microsoft Word, and it copies across paragraph breaks correctly.

I've also found that copying and pasting from Scrivener in iOS (iPad) works fine in maintaining the paragraph breaks.

In examining the HTML, it views the whole copy and paste as a single paragraph (<p></p> tags at the start and end) and treats every other paragraph break as a break line tag (<br />).

Steps to Reproduce

Select and copy a selection of paragraphs in Scrivener.

Paste into a manuscript article in WorldAnvil.

Hey, this is more of a feature request and not a bug (since this is more advanced formatting than the general one provided by the browser when copy pasting) so feel free to create one for the next version of Manuscripts!
