Placeholders are used to encapsulate a few special characters, or tags. A Wordfast placeholder always has the following format: X; where X can take various values: &t=; &tA; &t1; &t#; , etc.

&t1; is a placeholder for a Word graphic;

&t2; is a placeholder for a Word footnote/endnote;

&t9; is a tabulator mark;

&t#; is a manual line feed;

&tA; &tB; &tC; ... &t¥; constitute 100 placeholders for tags;

&t=;<some tag="here">&t=; records an "unknown" tag - those can be found only in a target segment, never in a source segment.

Note to engineers The ampersand is not considered an escaping character, as in SGML/XML. It is not escaped.

A Wordfast TM would create slightly fuzzy matches with text containing the &tX; placeholders, as in this very paragraph.
