Irism Rates A-Prompt

A-Prompt has some promise. However, it has some quirks that need to be addressed before it can be truly useful.

A-Prompt interprets bold (<b>) and strong (<strong>) text as requiring a heading. It can't understand that the text might be strongly emphasized for a reason, or be formatted using bold for readability. The way to deal with bold formatting is to put it in the style sheet and use <span> and a class.

A-Prompt also does not know how to detect a legitimately programmed skipover. You need to respond that the items do not require skipovers.

A-Prompt does not allow the user to change whether a table is used for layout or for data. If one selects layout and wants to change to data, there is no method of changing it.
