When enabling the option "Always split text at line breaks" in the XLIFF configuration, consider the following scenarios:
Scenario 1. When If there is no HTML HTML content in the XLIFF file:
There will be no line breaks in case of enabling this option "when enabling the Content is HTML" option because the HTML parser removes white spaces from the segments which are considered line brakes in XLIFF.
Scenario 2. When If there is HTML content in the XLIFF file:
There will be line breaks in case of enabling this option "when enabling the Content is HTML" but option provided that the HTML content must contain contains HTML breaking tags (eg: <p>, <div>....etc). because The HTML parser removes will remove the white spaces from the segments unless the HTML breaking tags (eg: <p>, <div>) are included in both the HTML content in of the XLIFF file and and the HTML configuration that is attached to the XLIFF configuration.
