JSON files with embedded HTML code and place holders.

Question

Hi all,

My Trados version is Trados Studio 2021 SR2 - 16.2.12.9338.

I have a JSON file with embedded HTML code and place holders.

For example:

{
"module-3": "Responsible <b>Social {{description}} Media</b> Use"
}

If I use HTML Embedded Content processor, the <b> tag can be parsed as an inline tag, but not the {{description}}.

Is there a way that I can add {{description}} as an inline tag in the HTML Embedded Content processor?

I know I can do that through Embedded Content Plain Text processor, but I need to add all HTML code there.

If I can just define the inline tag in HTML Embedded Content processor, that would much easier.

 With the ootb filetype this isn't possible. Sadly it's one or the other. However, if you could upgrade to 2022 or 2024 then you could make use of this filetype from the AppStore:

 In here you at least have a headstart with a lot of rules already defined for you and you'd only have to add the placeholders not covered already:

 Do you think Daniel Lin could use an app like CleanUp Tasks or Data Protection Suite to handle the placeholders after the file with the embedded HTML has been handled by the ootb json filetype for 2021? 
 I gave it a quick whirl with the Data Protection Suite in Trados 2021, and it seems to work fine:
