Hi Samuel,
The workaround is to add a space after two square brackets, like instead of [[[ enter [[space[. For Ex: [1]Test translation[[ [2]1[3]][4]2[5][[ [6]3[7]] testing testing testing[8]
Once the TXML is merged you need to remove the space from merged TXML.
The issue is with the escape character for square brackets added to non tag characters is doubled to avoid confusion with tags square brackets.
Question is since using [ as escape character causes issues like above, what would be the best escape character to use for square brackets?
Thank you,
John
