Thank you so much for reply. Mostly I really appreciate this level of detail. I follow everything you said and you explained it very well. Me being a programmer since the 90’s makes me keenly aware of formatting difficulties. & # % are common culprits.
Me only being on “this side of the fence” I can only see translations not the programming side. I and the rest of us translators will give your tips our due attention. I will also do my best to have “before and after” examples for me/us/anyone to see how to avoid formatting problems. Maybe something to add to a “style guide”. Either way. Thank you again for your answers. Yes I and all of us look forward to any other answers you can help us with. At your convenience of course.
