I have an XLF file (created in Madcap Paligo) which contains variables/placeholders.
<bpt id="N669f69fb77c5e" equiv-text="productname"><productname></bpt>Triview BV<ept id="N669f69fb77c5e"></productname></ept>
The placeholder starts with a bpt tag pair and ends with an ept tag pair. We want to lock this segment.
I've modified the XLIFF 1.1-1.2 v 2.0.0.0 filter: on the Embedded Content page I've added this rule:
tag type: placeholder
regular expression:
<bpt id="\w+" equiv-text="productname"><productname><\/bpt>Triview BV<ept id="\w+"><\/productname><\/ept>
I've tested the regular expression via regex101.com. The regex seems to work correctly: it selects the entire segment from the start of the bpt node to the end of the ept node.
But in the preview, the segment is still shown as editable text.
