I'd have to test, but I thought this custom preview feature when using an embedded content processor, had been fixed in a recent release.  What version are you using?

But if not why don't you add this information as document structure in your parser rule and then use the DSI Viewer to see it?  Given your preview isn't there to show final layout or anything more complex I actually think the DSI Viewer will be more performant.

Hi Paul

First of all, thank you for the suggestion about using DSI. I'll look into it.

Now to add more information to my questions and to answer the questions.: 

I use studio 2021 : 16.2.10.9305

The reason I thought about preview was that it seemed easier and I thought that translator could see that comment side by side to several sentences located in the relevant translatable XML element. 

With the custom filetype based on XML 2 filetype,  I get an error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when I want to see the preview. 

I'm suspecting that I must have made an error in the stylsheet.xsl that is causing this error and preventing the preview.

Thank you

Simon

Please find attached the ZIP file with XML, FileType and the stylesheet for the preview.

Hi Paul

I just wanted to give an update about my issues with <LF> only tags segmented translatable content in the XML element and the option to have a "table like" preview with source content and comment.

As there are no <CR> beside the <LF> characters in the translatable content of the XML element, the only way I managed to get the segmentation correct was to use the Plain text ECP.

This worked with XML2 and wIth XML Embedded Content FileTypes.

From the two options, the XML preview is "available" only with FileType based on XML2 and not available with FileType based on XML (EC). 

But unfortunately, when I want to generate the XML preview on the file prepared with XML2 + PlainText ECP FileType,  Studio 2021 SR2 CU10 give the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error. 

I tried all sorts of possible alternatives but it seems that I got stuck so I decided to use the following workaround. 

I'm parsing the <ContentTranslate> and  <ContentReadOnly> elements where I add structure information on the <ContentReadOnly> element and then I use SDLXliff toolkit to loc the segments with DSI coresponding to <ContentReadOnly> element.

It's far away from elegant solution but it works for now. 

Cheers.
