So I have two IDML files I'm trying to align. They're large and instead of segmenting by line breaks, MemoQ has helpfully inserted formatting tags for each line break.

My solution would be to do a search and replace for \mtag but I can't seem to replace with a segment break.

I could use some ideas. I want to ask LiveDocs to replace each {1} (uninterpreted formatting tags) with a new segment. Has someone done this and can give me an idea? ▲ Collapse

Treat special character as break segment Mar 6, 2020

To do what you want, I believe you can import idml files specifying that line separators should be treated as a segment break.

Details are at https://docs.memoq.com/current/en/Places/adobe-indesign-markup-language.html under Set how special characters are imported.

Thank you. I certainly see it in the documentation and it would make sense. I'll try it out and see if it removes all (3,000) tags.
