I have worked with the same xliff settings for many months and never encountered </mrk>. Now it's my second round of translating files imported via Fluenta and some of my </xref> tags turned into </mrk> tags. I've checked the settings and can't see anything I should change. Grateful for all kinds of advice!
You don't mention what version of Studio, which could be interesting, as I cannot reproduce this in 2024. However, in 2024 the xref attributes get removed completely. The reason for this, I think, is that the <source> and/or <target> elements within the XLIFF file cannot contain <xref> elements according to the XLIFF 1.2 specification. It seems that <xref> is not a valid child element within these elements. The XLIFF specification expects certain inline elements like <g>, <bpt>, <ept>, <ph>, <it>, <mrk>, <x>, <bx>, and <ex>.
I can't reproduce what you have properly since you didn't provide a sample file, and could be the schema validation I have fabricated to test is wrong for your file type. So if this is still a problem for you please provide a small sample file containing a couple of segments only that help to demonstrate the issue.
