Prose editing for clarity skips frontmatter and code blocks by applying an editorial audit that outputs structured fixes. This preserves structural markup while returning a three-column table of actionable revisions.

Auditing technical prose for clarity is best done with a deterministic, step-by-step workflow that outputs a three-column table. This table maps identified issues to suggested revisions and their exact text locations.

Custom style guides tune content editing behavior by providing optional style guide and reader type parameters. These inputs adjust how the prose audit evaluates text and generates editorial fixes.

Prose editing supports structured text inputs including markdown, plain text, and text-heavy XML. The audit intelligently skips structural markup and frontmatter to focus entirely on content clarity.

Preserving author voice during an editorial review requires a minimal intervention approach that focuses strictly on clarity. The audit returns suggested revisions without heavily rewriting the original text.

Automated prose edits should be avoided when needing heavy structural rewriting rather than clarity fixes. This audit applies minimal intervention and skips code blocks, frontmatter, and structural markup entirely.
