Given the very specific nature of each set of XML files (which is the very reason for using XML in the first place), there is no way Trados could produce pre-set .ini files (as they do for HTML or XSL files). There is a wizard for creating the .ini files, but the process is not exactly the easiest; also, the whole thing very much depends on how well the XML files were authored (I had a problem with some XML files because my customer had combined XML with HTML code - TagEditor can recognise one at a time, but not both).



Note that Trados can create .ini files on the basis of DTD specifications provided. Obviously, that\'s not free of charge, but not too expensive either.
