Hi again WF Support Forum,

For example, if I try to Write "A<u>nt" in the glossary editor, I get "Ant". "A<+>nt" will work fine.
Tag-like text also creates issues in the TMs, in this case, the behavior is correct (if there is a 100% match, it will be recognized and populated), but in the TM Lookup the tag-like parts parts are (sometimes, but not always) shown as removed text (highlighted in red and strikethrough) even though it is a 100% match.
Any suggestions to add <text like this> to glossaries are appreciated.
Thanks!

Workaround: use HTML entities Jun 18, 2020

In case it helps anyone, if the greater than and less than signs are replaced by their corresponding HTML character entities, the import works well. When exported, the entities must be replaced by their corresponding signs.
