Exclude tags from segment in XLIFF (segmentation hint: exclude)

Question

Hi Community, 
 
 I would like to create settings using a sample XLIFF where the tags around the content are excluded from the segments. 
 So instead of this: 
 
 The content would look like this in the editor, where the tags are excluded from the segments: 
 
 (The above I did by saving the content into a TXT file just for testing and then adding some regex rules in Studio 2021 to clean it up.) 
 However I cannot make it work with XLIFF. Whatever changes I make to embedded content processing (even if I deactivate it) in the Preview the content is still processed, the changes don't apply. 
 Can you please give me some hints as to what I'm doing wrong? I can provide you with the sample file if needed. 
 Thank you! Greta

 That seems a bit excessive! It's also not fully segmented, so I think the best solution I would be able to offer if you need to hide these tags is the following: 
 
 copy source to target 
 save the target file 
 handle the target file using a mono lingual XML filetype where you have better control over the tag settings 
 
 We are working on a multilingual XML filetype at the moment and this would probably be able to make a better job of the file. But that won't be available for a few weeks at least (via the AppStore).

 And the new filetype is now available:
