The test file
To check the settings of the Markdown filter in Phrase, Trados Studio 2022, and Wordfast Pro 8, a test file was prepared. The assumption was to use all basic and extended Markdown tags in different combinations.
Also, HTML with JavaScript was embedded in the test file, as these are often used in Markdown files. As a result, this use case is also covered in the study.
The test file is a Markdown guidebook. It includes a list of Markdown tags, their syntax, and the expected results are presented. That is why Markdown syntax is omitted in this page.
Go to the test file.
