I have got an Excel file to translate, which contains HTML/XML tags (such as and ), and would like Trados to create a new segment after each one of them.

Hardly possible in Exccel I'm afraid

But quite easy when copied to Word.
You could there format those tags with T4WinExternal or use search & replace to have real breaks there. Then replace back after translation.
At least this is the way I would go, because it is easy and clean and does not require any big knowledge in regex, creating file types in Studio and so on.
On an additional note: you cannot add any tags as segmentation rules - the behavior on tags is controlled by file types. Segmentation rules are more linguistic nature, ie dot, colon, exclamation mark and so on.

Segmentation rules can handle this

Hi Stephanie,
You can use the segmentation rules so that HTML/XML tags (such as <p> and <br>) create a new line. So for example, if you have this in Excel:
In Studio it looks like this:
So, if I add a couple of segmentation rules on the TM before opening the file I now see this:
To add the rules I right clicked on the TM in Translation memories view and selected Settings - Language Resources. Then select Segmentation rules - Edit. Finally add two rules.
One that uses <p> before the break and \s after the break. Then another that uses <br> before the break and \s afterwards.
Then open the file again and select the TM containing these segmentation rules.
If the tags you quoted here are just easy examples and actualkly the file contains complete html code then the solution from Jerzy may be better. But I have come across files with pretty much only these tags in there and this is how we handled them.
Regards
Paul
