    • Segmentation Hint - This option is available only if you work with inline tags and only if you specified the extraction rule (segmentation hint) in the Embedded Content section of your file type. Select one of the available options: May Exclude (default), Include, Include With Text, Exclude. Check this topic to learn what each segmentation hint does.
    • Length restrictions - Specify a minimum length and a maximum length.

NamespacesAdd a prefix and an URI for your namespace, and then select plus sign.

Validation

SettingInstruction
Perform schema and DTD validation during file detectionDecide how schemas and DTD files are validated:
  • Treat all validation warnings as file parsing errors
  • Report warning if no DTD/schema can be found
Perform schema validation when verifying translation
Manually specify schemaEnable this option to specify schemas manually. Decide how the schemas are used:
  • Use for all XML documents
  • Use only for documents which do not specify DTD/schema
Master SchemasKeep the default values or add more files.
Dependency Schemas and DTDsKeep the default values or add more files.

Entity settings

SettingInstruction
Enable entity conversionEntity settings specify whether special characters are converted to their corresponding HTML entity. Select or clear the check box depending on whether you want to have entity conversion enabled or not.
Convert numeric entity references to inline placeholder tagsSelect or clear the check box depending on whether you want to have the numeric entity conversion enabled or not.
Add an entitySelect plus sign, add the character, and decide whether the available check boxes are enabled or not: READ AS CHARACTER, WRITE AS ENTITY. When you add a new entity, the WRITE AS ENTITY setting is disabled automatically. The WRITE AS ENTITY setting only works for the default entities, and is disabled for the ones you add, which means that for the default ones characters will always be converted to entities.
  • READ AS CHARACTER - This setting specifies which entities are converted to their respective characters during parsing.
  • WRITE AS ENTITY - This setting specifies which characters are converted to their respective entities during writing.
Edit an entityAdjust the given values.

Embedded Content

SettingInstruction
Process embedded contentSelect the check box and choose an embedded content processor. Choose the location of the embedded content: CDATA sections or Document structure. CDATA stands for character data and refers to a portion of element content that is marked to be interpreted literally, as textual data, instead of marked up content. If you enable this option, specify which entity interprets the element: Embedded Content Plain Text v 1.0.0.0; Embedded Content SpreadsheetML v.1; Html Embedded Content 5 2.0.0.0; Html Embedded Content 4 2.0.0.0
