Summary
Add a safe quote formatting mode for preserving supplied text in a clearly marked, review-friendly form.
Goal
Provide a controlled way to keep externally supplied text readable for human review while making it distinct from surrounding author text.
Intended Workflow
A user pastes supplied text, selects a formatting profile, reviews the transformed output, and copies either the formatted text or an audit-visible preview. The original text order should remain understandable unless the user explicitly chooses a stronger transform.
Required Behavior
- Preserve source text order by default.
- Keep the output readable for human review.
- Avoid paraphrasing by default.
- Provide light, medium, and strong formatting profiles.
- Support audit-visible markers that show what was inserted or changed.
- Support deterministic output when a seed is supplied.
- Provide a preview of both normal formatted output and audit-visible output.
- Make formatting choices explicit to the user before copying.
- Document that formatted text may affect copy/paste behavior, search, accessibility tools, and normalization.
Design Notes
- Treat this as a review and preservation workflow.
- Prefer explicit framing, visible inspection, and auditability over hidden behavior.
- Unicode styling, separators, or markers should be optional transform families, not trust signals.
- The UI should make it clear when text has been transformed.
Validation Ideas
- Tests confirm source order is preserved for the default profile.
- Tests confirm seeded output is deterministic.
- Tests confirm each formatting profile changes output predictably.
- Tests confirm audit-visible preview exposes inserted or changed markers.
- Manual examples confirm the result remains readable and clearly marked as supplied text.
