How to set an XML comment either as segment separator or inline element

Hi there,

let's assume that I've got this XML text:

<test>
<text>This is<!-- comment in segment--> test text.</text>
</test>

How can set in the XML2 parser, if the XML comment works as a segment separator (like a structure element) or as an inline tag? Can this be set via an XPATH definition?

Thank in advance!

Best regards,

Bodo

    Hello Bodo,

    To set an XML comment as a segment separator or inline element in Trados Studio, you can follow these steps:

    Step 1: Open Trados Studio and go to the "File Types" settings.

    Step 2: Select the XML file type you are working with.

    Step 3: Go to the "Parser Rules" section.

    Step 4: Here, you can define how Trados Studio should handle XML comments. If you want the XML comment to act as a segment separator, you can add it as a "Structure" element. If you want it to be an inline tag, you can add it as an "Inline" element.

    Step 5: To add a new rule, click on the "New" button and enter the XPath expression for the XML comment. The XPath for an XML comment is typically "//comment()".

    Please note that the exact steps may vary depending on the version of Trados Studio you are using.
