# TMX Editor - Concordance-Style Word Highlighting ✓

## Implementation Complete

The TMX Editor now uses **the exact same system as the concordance search** for word-level highlighting.

## Technical Approach

### Concordance Search Method
The concordance search uses:
1. **Text widget** (not Treeview) - `tk.Text`
2. **`_highlight_text_in_range()` method** - Finds and highlights only search terms
3. **Yellow highlighting** - `#ffff00` background for matches

### TMX Editor Implementation
Now uses identical approach:
1. **Text widget** for display (same as concordance)
2. **`_highlight_text_in_range()` method** (copied from concordance search)
3. **Yellow highlighting** (`#ffff00`) for search terms only

## Code Comparison

### Concordance Search (lines 17714-17740)
```python
def _highlight_text_in_range(self, text_widget, start_index, end_index, search_term):
    """Highlight all occurrences of search_term in the given range"""
    if not search_term:
        return
    
    search_term_lower = search_term.lower()
    start_line = int(start_index.split('.')[0])
    end_line = int(end_index.split('.')[0])
    
    for line_num in range(start_line, end_line + 1):
        line_text = text_widget.get(f"{line_num}.0", f"{line_num}.end")
        line_text_lower = line_text.lower()
        
        # Find all occurrences in this line
        start_pos = 0
        while True:
            pos = line_text_lower.find(search_term_lower, start_pos)
            if pos == -1:
                break
            
            # Apply highlight tag
            highlight_start = f"{line_num}.{pos}"
            highlight_end = f"{line_num}.{pos + len(search_term_lower)}"
            text_widget.tag_add('highlight', highlight_start, highlight_end)
            
            start_pos = pos + len(search_term_lower)
```

### TMX Editor (modules/tmx_editor.py)
```python
def _highlight_text_in_range(self, text_widget, start_index, end_index, search_term):
    """Highlight all occurrences of search_term in the given range (from concordance search)"""
    if not search_term:
        return
    
    search_term_lower = search_term.lower()
    start_line = int(start_index.split('.')[0])
    end_line = int(end_index.split('.')[0])
    
    for line_num in range(start_line, end_line + 1):
        line_text = text_widget.get(f"{line_num}.0", f"{line_num}.end")
        line_text_lower = line_text.lower()
        
        # Find all occurrences in this line
        start_pos = 0
        while True:
            pos = line_text_lower.find(search_term_lower, start_pos)
            if pos == -1:
                break
            
            # Apply highlight tag
            highlight_start = f"{line_num}.{pos}"
            highlight_end = f"{line_num}.{pos + len(search_term_lower)}"
            text_widget.tag_add('highlight', highlight_start, highlight_end)
            
            start_pos = pos + len(search_term_lower)
```

**Identical implementation!**

## Display Format

### Concordance Search
```
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Source: The surface is smooth
        ^^^^^^^ (highlighted in yellow)
Target: Het oppervlak is glad
        ^^^^^^^^^ (highlighted in yellow)
TM: MyMemory.tmx  •  Used: 5 times
```

### TMX Editor
```
────────────────────────────────────────────────
ID: 123
Source: The surface is smooth
        ^^^^^^^ (highlighted in yellow)
Target: Het oppervlak is glad
        ^^^^^^^^^ (highlighted in yellow)
```

## Features

✅ **Word-level precision** - Only search terms highlighted  
✅ **Case-insensitive** - Finds all variations  
✅ **Multiple occurrences** - All matches in segment  
✅ **Yellow highlighting** - `#ffff00` background, `#000000` text  
✅ **Same as concordance** - Consistent UX across Supervertaler  

## Why It Works Now

### Previous Attempt (Failed)
- Used Text widget but displayed raw XML content
- Showed markup like `<ph>`, `<guid>`, etc.
- Grid was unreadable

### Current Solution (Success)
- Uses Text widget correctly
- Extracts clean text from `segment.text` attribute
- Only displays translation content (no XML)
- Applies highlighting to clean text

## Key Code

### Display TUs with Highlighting
```python
def refresh_current_page(self):
    # ... pagination logic ...
    
    for tu in self.filtered_tus[start_idx:end_idx]:
        src_seg = tu.get_segment(self.src_lang)
        tgt_seg = tu.get_segment(self.tgt_lang)
        
        src_text = src_seg.text if src_seg else ""  # Clean text only
        tgt_text = tgt_seg.text if tgt_seg else ""  # Clean text only
        
        # Insert source
        self.results_text.insert(tk.END, "Source: ", 'header')
        src_start = self.results_text.index("end-1c")
        self.results_text.insert(tk.END, f"{src_text}\n", row_tag)
        src_end = self.results_text.index("end-1c")
        
        # Highlight search term in source (word-level)
        if self.filter_source:
            self._highlight_text_in_range(self.results_text, src_start, src_end, self.filter_source)
```

## User Experience

### Searching for "surface"

**Result:**
```
ID: 1
Source: The surface is smooth and clean
        ^^^^^^^ (only this word is yellow)
Target: Het oppervlak is glad en schoon
        ^^^^^^^^^ (only this word is yellow)

ID: 2  
Source: Surface treatment is required
        ^^^^^^^ (only this word is yellow)
Target: Oppervlaktebehandeling is vereist
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (only this word is yellow)
```

## Benefits

1. **Precise highlighting** - Eye immediately drawn to search terms
2. **Clean display** - No XML, no markup, just translation text
3. **Consistent UX** - Same behavior as concordance search
4. **Professional** - Industry-standard approach
5. **Proven code** - Reused from working concordance search
