General tab
The General Tab contains options for extracting content, defining the file as HTML, handling whitespaces and symbols, excluding content, and text segmentation. The options are described in general below based on individual sections.
...
We have two scenarios when enabling this option "Always split text at line breaks" in the XLIFF configuration:
First scenario: If there is no HTML content in the XLIFF file:
There will be no line breaks in case of enabling this option "Content is HTML" because HTML parser removes white spaces from the segments which are considered line brakes in XLIFF.
Second scenario: If there is HTML content in the XLIFF file:
There will be line breaks in case of enabling this option "Content is HTML" but the HTML content must contain HTML breaking tags (eg: <p>, <div>....etc) because HTML parser removes white spaces from the segments unless the HTML breaking tags (eg: <p>, <div>) are included in both the HTML content in the XLIFF file and HTML configuration that is attached to the XLIFF configuration.
