 The rules! 
 
 This filetype doesn't suppor using an embedded content processor so you need to define the rules to tag the content you want protected.

Well, you cannot process anything, if no rules are defined. So for example you must define a tag pair for

and

tag and declare it external. Same must be done for each tag pair and placeholder. Just saying "Process embedded content" without defining rules does simply not work. But instead making yourself so much work, install Multilingual Excel file type via Add-Ins and use the html embedded file type for process all the tags you have without the need to define these. It is a very simple and quite straightforward method.

I totally forgot this! I added: Start Tag Expression: <[a-z][a-z0-9]*[^<>]*> End Tag Expression: ]*> Tag type: Tag pair And this works as expected. Thank you for the tip!
