I need to limit the number of characters a translator can enter per line in the following:
<text kind='TEXT' id='01364' linelen='30' line='002'> <val> Keilrippenriemenscheibe mit<br/> Freilauf und Schutzkappe </val> </text>
The attribute linelen gives the maximum number of characters per line. Each line ends with <br/> and a line break.
Can anyone suggest a way to do this in Studio?
Hi Guy,
Maybe the attached will help;

Slightly different to the example in my blog as the values are being taken from the parent level. Maybe this will help?

Hi Guy,
ok - I was concentrating on the length issue. To solve this one it's fairly simple, just add an inline rule for the break tag:
Then it looks like this:
Did we solve your verification problem though?

Unknown said:Thanks Jesse. It looks like checking line lengths within a segment would require some form of plug-in.

Verification is still a problem. The above translation is OK lengthwise: 2 lines of 30 characters each. But it produces an error in Studio because the limit of 30 characters is applied to the whole segment.
Now one could conceivable define separate parser rules for val-Elements containing 1, 2, 3 etc. br-Tags and set the length restriction to 60, 90, 120 characters. But that would only check the overall length of the segment, not the length of the individual lines.
