File Recognition Mechanism

To correctly identify MadCap Flare files and distinguish them from standard HTML or XML documents, Crowdin uses a recognition mechanism based on both the file extension and the file content:

File Extension: The uploaded file must have one of the supported extensions (e.g., .flsnp, .flgpl, .htm, .html, .xhtml).
Namespace Declaration: The system scans the root <html> tag of the document. If the tag contains the xmlns:MadCap namespace attribute (for example, <html xmlns:MadCap="http://www.madcapsoftware.com/Schemas/MadCap.xsd">), Crowdin automatically applies the MadCap Flare parser.

If a file has a generic extension (like .html or .htm) but lacks this namespace declaration, Crowdin will process it using the standard HTML parser instead.
