Automatic detection of the XML structure will not always yield the best results in all XML files. You can disable this automatic mechanism by setting the outline_detection=0 and selecting the tags that should be considered structure tags. This will split sentences using the splitting_tags parameter.

In the example below, we achieve the same results as the automatic engine by disabling automatic detection and setting the parameters manually:

tag_handling=xml, split_sentences=nonewlines, outline_detection=0, splitting_tags=par,title

<document>
  <meta>
    <title>A document's title</title>
  </meta>
  <content>
    <par>This is the first sentence. Followed by a second one.</par>
    <par>This is the third sentence.</par>
  </content>
</document>

<document>
  <meta>
    <title>Der Titel eines Dokuments</title>
  </meta>
  <content>
    <par>Das ist der erste Satz. Gefolgt von einem zweiten.</par>
    <par>Dies ist der dritte Satz.</par>
  </content>
</document>

While this approach is slightly more complicated, it allows for greater control over the structure of the translation output.
