Hello Paul

Do you mean to create an XML 2 file type settings?

I did the following but didn't work.

The result is:

Length limitation appears, and so does the HTML control text. Am I missing something?

Did you create your rules by configuring the html-control rule you created?  It's not clear because the UI is awful and is missing any indication that you need to do anything else.  But you now need to click on the rule and then configure:

Even when you've done this you'll find some other funny's:

1. when you add the rule there is nowhere to confirm it so you must close it
2. after closing it there still won't be any evidence that you actually added anything

So you need faith ;-)  But if you click back on configure you'll see the rules are still there.

Not great... but perhaps this is what you're missing?

Hello Paul

Here is what I did.

I clicked on 'Confugure' and then added the regex for tags. But it doesn't work the way I want. Here are the parser rules where under 'Context' for <target> elements I added the 'HTML control' structure information.

The length limitation works, but not the embedded processor for html content:

I think the only way we can help here is to see a sample file from you so we can try it.  It's impossible to comment on your rules and regex without seeing the context.  If you can provide a sample, so just a small file with a couple of relevant segments in it would be great.

Hello Paul Filkin

the sample file is in my original message

So it was ;-)

I created a quick filetype and can get this:

Nice and tagless... or like this:

Just depends how you want to see the content.

The verification works too:

I put my settings file here:

Hope that helps.

Hello Paul Filkin

This is it, thanks a lot!
