    In case you are handling translation projects with very large termbases, it can be useful to extract a project termbase, so that only the terms that appear in the content for translation are available for the translator. With this, there is no hassle...

    Now, a code like RB_45/R1 is not recognized like 1 placeable because the character '/' splits the recognition. I'd like a way to setup using a regex rule supporting this kind of recognition. This could be done or using the 'Variable' or an extra option...
