Hello everybody I'm running the latest free version of Across, can you please help me sort this out:
I've got a simple txt file, but it also contains a few
tags and a kind of BBCode, and I need to make crosstank ignore those tags.
A common sentence would be:
normal text to translate
[[some code]].

how can I make crosstank to ignore "
[[some code]]" in a txt file?

Afaik, txt files are added to Across as "Word 2000-2003" documents.
So, you need to edit word settings:
- Go to Tools -> System Settings, select in settings tree Document Settings / Word 2000-2003.
- Create a new template (not to spoil existing one)
- in "Customize ..." area click "Add" (you will add a new "rule" how to process specific objects by this);
- click on "..." near the "Name" editbox;
- insert \[\[.*\]\] into regular expression editbox, click "OK"... See more

- select "context" in style combobox, and ignored (or hidden, or locked - as you wish it to be processed) in Type.

I checked this with a very simple document, where [[ text ]] was always on a new line, and it worked fine.
But sure you should be careful with this method and check whether nothing is lost when translation is finished. ▲ Collapse

Thank you very much AAV but it's not working as I was expecting as it's locking/ignoring the whole sentence/paragraph.
Example:
Text to translate.[[BBCode]]

the whole sentence/paragraph would be locked/ignored.
Also, the BBCode is not on a new line (sorry, my mistake on the first post).
So I just need to lock the "[[BBCode]]" while being able to translate the preceding/following text.
Any idea?
