Hello,

I’m trying to catch extra line breaks in the target. The CAT tool I’m working with is ATMS (and the bilingual doc is an mxliff file). I have the following segment:

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/xbench/original/1X/ecd39cd19e0c3b58128b7b50cd891b4c297b49af.png)

This is what I have tried so far after checking [this thread](https://forum.xbench.net/t/how-to-catch-extra-line-break-in-target-translation/562/2):

1. Leading/Trailing Mismatch check - It works for line breaks added at the end of the segment but not for line breaks inserted in the middle of a segment.
2. Double Blank check - It doesn’t seem to flag a space + a line break.
3. I have also checked the list of characters for Xbench Regular Expressions, but I find nothing for line breaks.

Is there a way Xbench can flag this issue? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Paula,

How does Xbench 3.0 display that segment? Is it a tag or space?

Regards,  
Òscar.

Hi Òscar,

Thank you for your quick response! This is how Xbench 3.0 is displaying this segment:

 ![xbench_line_break](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/xbench/original/1X/819111f2c8868b60f3cd009b02ec77f5cee0a229.png)

There is no extra space or tag showing.

Regards,  
Paula
