   enclosed in HTML tags.

 * And that deserves a 1 star review in a free plugin? Really?
 * If you want me to add that feature I’ll be glad to do it but as a feature request.
 * Thank you for give me so much encouragement to share plugins for free. I wish
   you all the best

 * Well, when a tool doesn’t do what I need, why should I give it a 5 star rating?
   The only place I could find to give feedback was the review section. If you want
   to add that ability, that’s fine, but if for some reason it isn’t possible (other
   plugins fail in the same way, so I suspect it has to do with something in Gutenberg)
   that’s fine, too. I will continue to do the replacements by hand. Thank you for
   your time.
