Markups-Tags in XLIFF files seen as text not as tags

Question

Creating a new thread 
 
 Hello Paul, 
 
 I have a similar issue and despite reading your advice carefully here (and here ), I'm still unable to sort out my issue. 
 This is what I see in Phrase

and this is what I get in Studio

I've used this rule you suggested, as it seemed to also make sense in my case. But maybe it does not! I must say I'm really not an export in Regex...

Any clue how I can sort this out? 
 
 From Paul 
 
 You showed Phrase... so I guess it's an *.mxliff file? 
 If it's not then which XLIFF filetype are you using to handle the file? You made the changes in the XLIFF presumably because that's what you saw in the other threads. But perhaps this isn't correct for your file? 
 What version of Trados Studio? 
 
 Hi Paul 
 1. Yes, it is a mxliff file 
 2. I made the changes in the Xliff filetype because the MS mxliff filetype plugin doesn't seem to be able to manage this issue and there are no editable setting in this one 
 3. I use Trados Studio 2024

 So this means it will be opened using the memsource filetype by default unless you do something to prevent this. I am surprised to see these placeholders being ignored in 2024 though... perhaps this is a bug... perhaps there is something odd about your file... perhaps you are actually not using the mxliff filetype to handle this. Can you provide a screenshot of your filetype settings page so we can see which XLIFF filetype are activated and in what order? If the memsource filetype is first and if it's activated have you added a mask for *.mxliff in the "File dialog wildcard expression" field to ensure the XLIFF filetype will even open it? 
 Any chance we can see the file? You can send it to pfilkin at sdl dotcom is this is acceptable?

 I am a bit confused about why you have this problem to be honest. 
 
 I did wonder at first why you had two, but then I remembered Jesse Good developed one and the Trados AppStore Team took it over - https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/29 - when he stopped supporting it. I believe the first one in your list is the AppStore version, so this should be ok. I tested it and it seems fine: 
 
 Then, I unchecked both of them and added the embedded content regex to the default XLIFF, added *.mxliff to the "File dialog wildcard expression" field and this also works fine... screenshot would be exactly the same, so I didn't bother ;-) 
 So, you shouldn't have a problem. But then I opened the SDLXLIFF you also sent me and this has been created using the default memsource filetype and not the AppStore version. Based on the screenshot of your settings this would be impossible, so I can conclude you did not create your project with the settings you showed me. Therefore you need to check what project template you used to create your projects with because it clearly isn't your File -> Options .

Trados Studio > 1. Trados Studio
