Soft break segmentation rule almost working…

Question

Hi all! 
 I set up a soft break segmentation rule in the main and only TM associated to a project, as per instructions found here ( community.sdl.com/.../that-manual-line-break-soft-return-segmentation-rule) and here ( noradiaz.blogspot.com/.../adding-soft-return-segmentation-rule-to.html) . (See pictures 1 and 2.) 
 
 It catches 98% of my soft breaks, but not 100%, as you&rsquo;d expect. (See picture 3.) What am I missing here?

 I can achieve this: 
 
 But I don't use segmentation rules on the TM to do this. Instead I simply exclude the tags in the filetype like this: 
 Default rule plus a square bracket rule: 
 
 Then exclude the default rule:

 of course. I used a catch all for the tags as I was only looking at the breaks. But you can do whatever you like with the tags and get as granular as you like.

 Please can you provide a source file, just a small one with only a few segments containing tags as you have shown here and that you are unable to segment as you like. I could guess and create something similar, but sometimes the source file can be important and can also offer different ways to solve a problem depending on what the source is. So the full picture is helpful :-)

 Seeing as you provided the file I had a quick play... couldn't help myself ;-) 
 
 Just used these rules: 
 
 So definitely possible ;-)
