I am translating an excel file. Each cell contains a significant amount of text, including html tags. Trados segments the cells at full stops, but ignores the html tags which simply get inserted as placeables in Trados often creating massively unwieldy segments of entire lists/tables, which I then have to split manually.

Is it possible to create a segmentation rule so that the cell is segmented after each of the following closing tags (all enclosed in square brackets, but omitted here to ensure they display correctly):
/div
/h2
/p
/br
/li
/td

Many thanks.
