}Limitations and assumptions
This does not validate a quotation, its source URL or how CSS displays the element.
This evaluates supplied local information; it does not fetch a page or run a browser. Malformed requests produce input errors. A successfully evaluated request can still contain false flags, empty result lists or a result outside the supplied threshold; those outcomes have the meanings stated above.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Choose b/i vs strong/em Semantic Split for this operation: Classifies b, i, strong and em by standard meaning: attention, alternate voice, importance or stress emphasis. Font weight and style are not inferred. For a complementary task, use ruby/rt/rp Structure Lookup for this operation: Classifies ruby as the annotation container, rt as annotation text and rp as fallback parentheses. This vocabulary lookup does not validate a complete ruby content model.
