I have two identical tag files in my tags folder, one targeted at .pm files the other at .xml.

diff -s Xml.pm.tags Xml.xml.tags Files Xml.pm.tags and Xml.xml.tags are identical

If I edit zzz.pl tags work well:

geany -v zzz.pl Geany-INFO: 18:15:46.169: Geany 1.32, en_US.UTF-8 Geany-INFO: 18:15:46.370: Loaded /home/phil/.config/geany/tags/Xml.pm.tags (Perl), 544 symbol(s).

If I start to edit an xml file:

Geany-INFO: 18:16:58.676: Loaded /home/phil/.config/geany/tags/Xml.xml.tags (XML), 0 symbol(s).

Now tag expansion no longer works either in the .pl file or in the .xml file.

Please suggest a way that I can get tag expansion to work in xml without preventing it from working in .pl?
