Description
Insert supplied bracketed editorial wording between two text fragments.
Critical annotations distinguish source voices, editorial insertions, omission markers, edition locators and caller-assigned interpretations. Case preservation and half-open text offsets describe representation rather than meaning. A bracketed token or source-role label does not verify faithful quotation, authority, an argument or its historical context.
Insert supplied bracketed editorial wording between two text fragments.
When to use this tool
Use Quotation Editorial Insertion Marker when you already have before, insertion, after and need to insert supplied bracketed editorial wording between two text fragments.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter before, insertion, after. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read quotation. Use the output convention below.
Require insertion nonempty and containing neither [ nor ]; wrap insertion in literal square brackets between before and after.1

{
"input": {
"before": "The ",
"insertion": "editorial word",
"after": " follows"
},
"output": {
"quotation": "The [editorial word] follows"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The surrounding fragments are unrestricted and may be empty. No source text, faithful quotation, editorial convention or permission is verified.
- 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
Read the original passage and relevant edition with the stated interpretive and editorial conventions. Verify source context and attribution before reuse; local span labels and interpretation-objection pair keys organize records without evaluating the argument or granting quotation rights.
