Embedded content is content that uses a different syntax than the syntax specific to a certain type of file. For example, some complex XML file may contain chunks of HTML content included inside a CDATA section.
SDL Trados Studio uses different processors for handling embedded content than the processors used for handling the main content inside a document. This enables you to set different settings for extracting and displaying main and embedded content inside XML, XHTML, Java and Excel documents.
Here is an example of embedded content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
