Weblate: XML check

l10n
#1

Hi

The XML check looks buggy in the situation below:

https://weblate.documentfoundation.org/translate/libo_help-master/textsbasicpython/pt_BR/?type=check:xml-tags

The XML tags are there, but my translation has it in different (but
consistent) order in the text.

Is the XML check flagging a false positive?

Hi Olivier,

Yes - the xml-tag check only does a simple parsing of the source and
target strings, and creates a list of tuple of tagname and attribute
names and then does a simple equality check...

https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/blob/master/weblate/checks/markup.py#L172

So is a false positive check/only does what the code tells it to do..
