Require support and medium to contain nonwhitespace text, then format medium on support using original strings.

}Limitations and assumptions
- The material descriptions are supplied, not scientifically identified or checked for art-historical accuracy, conservation needs, or attribution.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Compare the resulting label with the collection catalog and the institution's documentation conventions.
