| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Remove soft returns (remove or convert to tag) | If you choose to remove soft returns, they are converted to spaces or ignored where an adjacent character is a space. If you do not remove them, they are converted to the Note that other file types have different options for soft returns. |
| Remove optional (discretionary) hyphens | The placement of discretionary hyphens is dependent on the structure and pronunciation of words in the source language, so usually you should choose to remove rather than extract them. |
| Convert character entity tags | If this option is selected, the character entities that have a Unicode character are replaced by that character, and other character entities are converted to standalone tags. If this option is not selected, the characters that are listed here are represented by the listed tags and other character entities are converted to standalone tags. |
| Remove kerning and tracking tags | Kerning and tracking information applied to source text is usually too closely aligned to the source language text layout to be useful for the translated text, so usually you should not process these tags.
If you do process these tags, then kerning tags are represented by <k...> tags , and tracking tags by <t...> tags.

| Convert hard returns to inline tags | If you choose this, hard returns (forced line breaks) are converted to tags that appear inside the segments. If you do not choose this, they are converted to structure tags and so cause a segment break. |
