Dear Studio 2017 users,
My question may sound a little odd, but I am working on a few Word files with people's names in italics at the end which the client wants them appear in plain text in target language. Is it possible to change the italics formatting in source segment to plain text formatting in target segment? I tried a few ways that I could think of but none of them worked.
Thank you for your advice!

strange..
If I were You, I just delete Tags (head tag and tail tag) part only at target segment

You still don't seem to understand that not everybody (especially not linguists!) can code, especially not using the crazy .Net hell, requiring dozens of megabytes of libraries just for Hello World :(
And that your way of making a separate plugin for every little one-off sh*tty task is especially crazy...
Plus, I remember very well your beginnings in the forum, when you flooded (under your previous account) the forum by dozens of, well, pretty lame, coder-beginner's questions to which you would find answer if you would actually read the documentation and use some basic programming knowledge.
So playing a big "make your own plugin" hero just a few months after you didn't even know yourself what plugin is and how to make it is kinda funny...
Okay, I just felt the need to express my opinion, this is not meant as flamewar and I will not take part in one.
Wooo
I would like to give you the same wordings minutes ago Paul gave to me. OK ?
"You're so wrong !!! "
In my personal and very smart opinion.
The Powershell is a really sh*t.
That is the degenerated mutation of the great .NET
Unknown said:the trick is complete it first at EndTag, and then at StartTag
that means, copy StartTag into EndTag first.
This "solution" just pollutes the file with additional huge number of tags! These tags then get into the target file.
Unfortuantely, this is typical "solution" by people who don't see the potential technical consequences and all they care about is what they can see on the screen :(
There is one big "but": what you see is not what you get...
Unknown said:I do not understand clearly what do you mean by "Option" here ?
Hi I mean enhance our filetypes to make it possible for a project to be created with the tags internalised rather than externalised by ticking a box. So it would be optional. I'm pretty sure that most users would not want this. So it would be an optional thing for working with projects where you wanted to change the formattting of the target.
I guess creating a plugin as you have done to handle it after the event is another option. But I think it's neater as an enhancement to the filetype.

hmmmm
Thanks for the detailed comment.
I think we need to stop this thread now. You are both out of line and I'll block you if this carries on.
Powershell is an excellent tool for people who focus on workflow with no bells and whistles. It's easier to use and fast.
.NET is a far more capable programming medium and supports developers creating things that would not be possible in powershell at all.
So I think we should draw a line under the discussion at that.

I'm not any adorer of Powershell.
The reason I used Powershell for Studio automation is that it's the only viable way to do it via scripting (because SDL made the Studio automation way harder by abandoning the COM API... idea obviously driven again by good intentions (making internal plugins) but totally ignoring the fact that people need to use automation also other ways than by clicking buttons in GUI and also the fact that not everybody is a developer.
Another reason to use Powershell is that I WANT and NEED to produce USER-EDITABLE scripts, so that anyone can just open the script in a simple text editor, make a change/fix/enhancement and IMMEDIATELY run it, without any additional compilation, etc.
That is the real power of scripting (which most of today's C# youngsters-hipsters would not understand).
