Hello,
I feel like this is a really basic issue. I hoped that Studio would easily recognize my file type and lock embedded content all alone but it doesn't and though I read a very interesting post from Paul Filkin (https://multifarious.filkin.com/2014/06/01/custom-xml/), I still can't seem to be able to do it properly.
I am now wondering if my file is a real XML (that's the extension anyway)?
Does anyone have a clue for me to lock all these codes?
Thank you very much
Regards,
Géraldine 
Thank you so much for addressing my question so quickly. I'm very grateful as I'm starting a new big project on the long-term and need some long-term solution ;-) I'll get hundreds of files like this one.
To start with, I have Studio 2017.
Note that the first code line in my file say:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
However, I also see: DOCTYPE html.
Seeing the file extension as .XML, I first went into: File --> Options --> File Types --> I tried each of the XML types (also each type of HTML). I assumed "Any XML" was the best option.
For each of them, I went under "Embedded content" and ticked "Enable embedded content processing".
Whenever possible I added the rule with:
</?[\p{Ll}\p{Lu}]\w*[^<>]*>
as a non-translatable placeholder, to no avail.
I then followed your script which I refered to in your post and tried creating a new "filetype" from scratch but was stuck in the parser section. I can send you the *.sdlftsettings file I created if it's of any help. I'm no expert here unfortuntely so I might be stuck because of a detail I missed... in which case, I'm sorry to disturb you.
Something puzzling about "my" files is that all brackets <...> are shown as entities, I wonder if this is not misleading for identifying tags:
Thank you again
Géraldine
