Thank you for the video, in fact I had the XML selection already so I guess BBEdit was able to identify the file as XML even without the extension. And I guess I did not understand the purpose of the "balance tags" command since the "close current tag" did actually work on my file. > The .tmx file extension isn't mapped to XML by default in BBEdit, but you can > change that in Prefs so that all .tmx files open up as XML documents. > Preferences -> Languages -> Custom Extension Mappings. I don't know. It seems like BBEdit did recognize it without the mapping since I don't have any specific setting in the preferences. I checked .xlf (XLIFF) and BBEdit recognized it as XML too.
