    Updates
    * Updated category titles
    * Fixed skipped_text/score_zero_text in rule c2
    * Added line breaks (<br>) to glossary
    * Updated glossary terms
    * Updates skipped_texts
    * Added score_improvement_texts and logic
    * Updated rule m2
    
    Overview:
    * There are 9 (Circular Design) Rules: M1, M2, M3, C1, C2, C3, S1, S2, S3
    * The 9 Rules are organized in 3 Categories (3 rules each): M (Materials), C (Components), S (Services)
    * Each Category has a graphical symbol: M = Triangle, C = Diamond, S = Pentagon
    * Each Rule has 3 Questions, which are answered Yes or No.
    
    Process:
    1) User picks next Category from the ones that haven't been picked yet (Example: User picks Category M).
        2) Get next rule of the chosen category in order (Example: M1, M2, M3).
            3) Get next question of the rule in order: 1, 2, 3
                4) If the question depends on previous questions (see "depends_on" field), and any one of these dependencies was answered No, skip the question. -> Go to step 3)
                5) Show the question. User can answer Yes or No. Record the answer.
                    6) If this is the FIRST question within the rule, the user can click "Skip Rule". In this case the entire rule is skipped and the skipping recorded. -> Go to step 2)
    
    Example Results Record:
    {
        m1: {
            answers: { 1: 'y', 2: 'n', 3: 'n' },
            score: 1
        },
        m2: {
            skipped: true
        },
        m3: {
            answers: { 1: 'n', 2: 'n', 3: '-' },
            score: 0
        },
        ...
    }
        
    * A score is calculated per rule, and is equal to the number of Yes answers (-> min score = 0, max score = 3).
    * If the rule was skipped there are no 'answers' and 'score' fields, but a 'skipped' field set to true.
    * If a question was skipped due to a dependency check, the corresponding answer is recorded as '-'.
    
    Results screen:
    * Shows the scores of the 9 rules as shaded gemetric forms (arranged in a circle):
        * Skipped: Dashed outline, no fill.
        * Score = 0: No fill (solid outline).
        * Score = 1: Light gray fill (solid outline).
        * Score = 2: Dark gray fill (solid outline).
        * Score = 3: Black fill (solid outline).
    * Shows a list of textual results for each rule.
        * For each rule:
            * If score = 0 for the rule (no questions were answered Yes), show the special 'score_zero_text'.
            * If the rule was skipped, show the special 'skipped_text'.
            * Otherwise, for each question within the rule:
                * If the answer was Yes:
                    * If the question has the field 'text_scoring' and it is not empty, show 'text_scoring'
                    * Otherwise show the field 'text'
                    * If the question has a non-empty 'depends_on' field, hide the question texts given by 'depends_on'.
            * If the score is < 3 (at least one question answered No, or rule was skipped), show the special 'score_improvement_text'. This is in addition to any other texts that might have been already shown.
    
    Glossary/Terms:
    * There is a number of terms that can be linked to from rule and question texts.
    * The glossary page is also generated from this data.
    * We use <span> elements with a 'data-term' attribute to link to glossary terms.
        * If the data-term attribute exists, use the value of the data-term attribute to as index into the glossary.
    
    Misc:
    * A class 'title' is added to spans within rule texts, in order to show the category symbol (triangle, diamond, pentagon) in front of the span.
