Hi Ingo,
Yes, you can have ignorable elements mixed anywhere with segment elements, including several side-by-side.
Usually ignorable would be used for non-translatabled “things” between segments. There are to some degree the equivalent of the possible spans of content between <mrk mtype='seg'> of 1.2.
They have the same model as a <segment>, so you need to take them into account for any operation that goes across all the parts of a <unit>, like re-ordering segments, computing non-translatable spans of content (the source of one ignorable can have a <sm translate='no'> that ends in two segments after for example), etc.
I hope this helps,

Hi,
I have a question about ignorables.
Can you have two ignorables side-by-side (or would you usually just have one at start/between segments/or at end and what are the processing requirements for ignorables?
Thanks,
Ingo.
