About Segmentation Hint Setup

Question

I have a sample file like this:

The below image shows that the p0_pblock has been adjusted so that its bottom edge is pulled higher by a half clock region to avoid the error. function can be used again to confirm this.

Ideally, it should be segmented into two: The 1st segment being: The below image shows that the p0_pblock has been adjusted so that its bottom edge is pulled higher by a half clock region to avoid the error. The 2nd segment being: function can be used again to confirm this. I setup the language rules to use the period (.) as the segmentation rule. I setup like this: But then, Studio treated the whole paragraph as one segment, It's always the same even if I changed the Segmentation hint to: Include, Include with Text or May Exclude. But when I set the Segmentation hint to Exclude, Studio separated the paragraph into three segments instead. The 1st segment being: The below image shows that the p0_pblock has been adjusted so that its bottom edge is pulled higher by a half clock region to avoid the error. The 2nd segment being: function The 3rd segment being: can be used again to confirm this. Please suggest how I can get it right. By the way, I'm using Trados Studio 2024. Thanks

 I can&rsquo;t test this now as I&rsquo;m away from any laptop, but I think your problem is that this is designed to be an inline tag (which you don&rsquo;t want) and it forms part of the same paragraph as the preceding and succeeding content.. There are no controlling elements for the third part of your content. 
 Without testing I think your best solution is most likely going to be that you split into three as you have done here, and then you manually merge the 2nd and 3rd parts.
