Wordlight is a plugin for SDL Trados Studio 2019 that provides features for highlighting selected text in the editor with a chosen color. The highlight formatting is persisted in all target files but only used in compatible formats that support this feature, such as Word and PDF when generating the target native file. It's important to understand this and ensure you remove the highlighting before creating target files where it's not supported to avoid unwanted complications in the native application.
The Wordlight plugin has as number of keyboard shortcut actions that you can adapt to fit your needs at any time.
Apply highlight formatting to the selected text or the entire target segment or segments
There are few options available to clear the highlight formatting that is added by Wordlight. Choose from the following actions depending on the required usage:
Currently it is not possible to apply highlight formatting on text where only part of a formatting tag pair is within the selection range, which would inevitably create an invalid xml hierarchy structure.
Example:
Target segment with selectionThis is a <cf>simple</cf> test
Note: only part of the existing formatting (e.g. the formatting closing tag </cf>) is within the selection range.
