Hi,

I am writing a NativeFileParser to parse a text format with embedded tag within the content.

If the parser happens to Output a PlaceHolderTag in between two EndTags, the rest of the text in the structure is not displayed in the editor, but is present in the sdlxliff file that is generated, and will be passed to the NativeFileWriter when saving the target document, but the translator never gets to actually translate the content.

This only happens if the SegmentationHint is set to Exclude

I created a small plugin that hardcodes the DuringParsing() method to re-create the problem, I attached a zip file containing the VS project.

protected override bool DuringParsing()
{
    /*
        Trying to parse text like:
        [<First><Second>Some text within second tag</Second></PH></First>Some text after the tags]
      
        '[' and ']' are StructureTags, the other tags are all SegmentationHint.Exclude

        With this sample, the text "Some text after the tags" is never shown in the editor, despite being in the SDLXLIFF 
    */
 
    // open structure
    Output.StructureTag(PropertiesFactory.CreateStructureTagProperties("["));
 
    // some text
    Output.Text(PropertiesFactory.CreateTextProperties("Some text before tags"));
 
    // open first tag
    IStartTagProperties firstStartTag = PropertiesFactory.CreateStartTagProperties("<First>");
    firstStartTag.SegmentationHint = SegmentationHint.Exclude;
    firstStartTag.DisplayText = "F";
    Output.InlineStartTag(firstStartTag);
 
    // open second tag
    IStartTagProperties secondStartTag = PropertiesFactory.CreateStartTagProperties("<Second>");
    secondStartTag.SegmentationHint = SegmentationHint.Exclude;
    secondStartTag.DisplayText = "S";
    Output.InlineStartTag(secondStartTag);
 
    // write some text
    Output.Text(PropertiesFactory.CreateTextProperties("Some text within second tag"));
 
    // close second tag
    IEndTagProperties secondEndTag = PropertiesFactory.CreateEndTagProperties("</Second>");
    secondEndTag.DisplayText = "S";
    Output.InlineEndTag(secondEndTag);
 
    // insert a placeholder
    IPlaceholderTagProperties phTag = PropertiesFactory.CreatePlaceholderTagProperties("</PH>");
    phTag.SegmentationHint = SegmentationHint.Exclude;
    phTag.DisplayText = "PH";
    Output.InlinePlaceholderTag(phTag);
 
    // close first tag
    IEndTagProperties firstEndTag = PropertiesFactory.CreateEndTagProperties("</First>");
    firstEndTag.DisplayText = "F";
    Output.InlineEndTag(firstEndTag);
 
    // more text --> this wont show up in the editor
    Output.Text(PropertiesFactory.CreateTextProperties("Some text after the tags"));
 
    // close structure
    Output.StructureTag(PropertiesFactory.CreateStructureTagProperties("]"));
 
    return false;
}
