Hi,

I think it would be great to have tools to edit the text formatting of the target segment. More often than not, the formatting of the source text is different from that of the target text (style and typography change from one language to another); and it is inefficient to store in our TM segments that we shall have to edit in the finished document each time we (re)use them.
