Using third-party TMX files in CafeTran

Other CAT tools save inline formatting in the TUs of a TMX file. CafeTran only stores the position of formatting, in a property. Both approaches have pros and cons.

Here is an SDL TMX file:

And this is how CafeTran stores the positions of the character changes:

When you save a third-party TMX file in CafeTran, inline tags will be removed but their positions will be mapped to the TU's properties so that Exact Matches are possible.
