Robust Options and Optional Blocks

'Robust' Options and Optional text allow you to add more flexibility to document automation. Perhaps most useful are 'prompts' that you can add. With a simple options block, the program will highlight the text block, pause and ask "Do you want to keep the highlighted text?" With a prompt, you can present a more meaningful question to the end user.

This is a simple optional block:

{I appoint [Guardian] to be the guardian of any children who are still minors at the time of my death.}

Here is the same text, but in a 'robust' setup. The prompt appears between the second and third *s:

<<*Optional*Are there children*I appoint [Guardian] to be the guardian of any children who are still minors at the time of my death.>>

(Note: the 'painting' of the setup text above is for illustration and emphasis only. Colors are not required.)
