XLIFF 2 filter -- formatting lost in target

Preconditions

Plugin okapiFiltersForOmegaT-1.13-1.45.0.jar is installed in your plugins folder in OmegaT.

An OmegaT project (attached) that uses the Okapi XLIFF 2.0 filter and an XLIFF file that contains this unit:

    <unit id="24">
      <mda:metadata id="24">
        <mda:metaGroup category="attributes" id="ph0">
          <mda:meta type="ctype">x-italic</mda:meta>
        </mda:metaGroup>
        <mda:metaGroup category="attributes" id="ph2">
          <mda:meta type="ctype">x-bold</mda:meta>
        </mda:metaGroup>
      </mda:metadata>
      <originalData>
        <data id="ph0">&lt;i&gt;</data>
        <data id="ph1">&lt;/i&gt;</data>
        <data id="ph2">&lt;b&gt;</data>
        <data id="ph3">&lt;/b&gt;</data>
      </originalData>
      <segment id="24">
        <source xml:space="preserve">The <ph id="ph0"/>yellow<ph id="ph1"/> <ph id="ph2"/>submarine<ph id="ph3"/> was a great song.</source>
      </segment>
    </unit>

The original HTML file looks like this:

<div>The <i>yellow</i> <b>submarine</b> was a great song.</div>

and renders:

The yellow submarine was a great song.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the attached project in OmegaT.
  2. Press Ctrl+D to generate target files.
  3. Open the target folder of the projec and inspect the target files.

Expected results

Formatting data (element <originalData>) is maintained:

    <unit id="24">
      <mda:metadata id="24">
        <mda:metaGroup category="attributes" id="ph0">
          <mda:meta type="ctype">x-italic</mda:meta>
        </mda:metaGroup>
        <mda:metaGroup category="attributes" id="ph2">
          <mda:meta type="ctype">x-bold</mda:meta>
        </mda:metaGroup>
      </mda:metadata>
      <originalData>
        <data id="ph0">&lt;i&gt;</data>
        <data id="ph1">&lt;/i&gt;</data>
        <data id="ph2">&lt;b&gt;</data>
        <data id="ph3">&lt;/b&gt;</data>
      </originalData>
      <segment state="final" id="24">
        <source xml:space="preserve">The <ph id="ph0"/>yellow<ph id="ph1"/> <ph id="ph2"/>submarine<ph id="ph3"/> was a great song.</source>
        <target xml:space="preserve">Le <ph id="ph0"/>jaune<ph id="ph1"/> <ph id="ph2"/>sous-marin<ph id="ph3"/> était une grande chanson.</target>
      </segment>
    </unit>

When the translated XLIFF is merged, the merged HTML file look like this:

<div>Le <i>jaune</i> <b>sous-marin</b> &eacute;tait une grande chanson.</div>

Actual results

Formatting data (element <originalData>) is lost:

<unit id="24">
 <mda:metadata id="24">
 <mda:metaGroup id="ph0" category="attributes">
 <mda:meta type="ctype">x-italic</mda:meta>
 </mda:metaGroup>
 <mda:metaGroup id="ph2" category="attributes">
 <mda:meta type="ctype">x-bold</mda:meta>
 </mda:metaGroup>
</mda:metadata>
 <segment id="24" state="translated">
  <source xml:space="preserve">The <ph id="ph0"/>yellow<ph id="ph1"/> <ph id="ph2"/>submarine<ph id="ph3"/> was a great song.</source>
  <target xml:space="preserve">Le <ph id="ph2"/>sous-marin<ph id="ph3"/> <ph id="ph0"/>jaune<ph id="ph1"/> était une grande chanson. </target>
 </segment>
</unit>

When the translated XLIFF is merged, the merged HTML file look like this:

<div>Le sous-marin jaune &eacute;tait une grande chanson. </div>

Hence formatting markup is gone.
