Depending on the user's answer to a particular question, I want to include one or another large-ish block of HTML text in the admin email. If it were only a single-line phrase, I could use a simple conditional expression: e.g. "Dear {if(USERTYPE=='student','Student','Teacher')}"; but in this case, what I need is to insert a multi-line block of text, which also includes an answer value. For example:

If the user is a student:

Dear {NAME},
Please read the following information for students:
xxxx
xxxx
xxxx

If the user is a teacher:

Dear {NAME},
Please read the following information for teachers:
yyyy
yyyy
yyyy

Any suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks!

What if you store your multi line block of text in the attributes of the token table? You can store pure HTML in there, so basically you can just put {TOKEN:attribute_1} in your confirmation mail.

Trouble is, this particular survey is tokenless, because I need it to be accessible to the public without any pre-registration. Can I store the text in a hidden question? Is question text (rather than answer text) accessible via the Qcode?

Try placing the HTML in equation type questions and directly accessing those with Expression Manager in the email template.

A further note...

In the equation question, you will need to remove all line-breaks and use htmlentities(). In the email template, use html_entity_decode().

So, for example, to load some HTML consisting of 2 paragraphs and giving the answer to a question code "Q1", something like this the equation question:
And something like this in the email template:

Hi,

I use another question text for complex system.

Example :

EmailText :
- Text_display question www.limesurvey.org/manual/Question_type_-_Text_display
- hidden if you want


And in may email i use directlt {EmailText.question}

You have an example here demonstration.sondages.pro/476956?lang=en#

Yep, that's exactly how I did it -- took me a couple of hours to sort it all out...
Except that initially, I used Long Text as the question type, because I thought I'd put the HTML in the answer part. But then I realized it's much easier to work with question text...

Thanks again, Denis, tpartner!
