One of our clients sent us a XML file from the cms Tridion. Is there a way to translate these files and handle the tags and embedded content properly without having to come up with regex ourselves?
Please see a screenshot below of what part of the text looks like right now in SDL Studio 2019.
I can't get your screenshot to display bigger than thumbnail size.

Hi Daniel, thanks. I will add a better screenshot soon.
I am just a bit puzzled why the files are appearing with all the embedded content visible. Tridion seems to be SDL software and I would expect the files to be easier to handle. Maybe I am missing something.
There are many possibilities to customize how xml files are read by Studio, it's widely used format. There are standard methods to deal with embedded content etc.
If you can post a snippet of the file here then people will find it easier to help. Please post text, not a screenshot...

Thank you for your reply Daniel. I opened the file in Notepad++ and copy/pasted some text below.
We have handled xml files for clients before and we have used custom xml file types and (with help) used regular expressions but maybe someone has already figured out a way to handle xml files from Tridion in Studio?
