Confirmation Email; Token Text is highlighted was created by Niall01

Hi,

I've set a lime survey form up to work as an ethics questionnaire. One of the features I've got into the latest version is automatic confirmation emails (by inserting answer tokens appropriately). It's functioning perfectly but the only thing is that the token text is highlighted yellow (see attachment), which makes the output look untidy. I've been in the source code editor but I can't see anyway to change it, is there something I can do to make it come up as black text on white like the rest of the email.

Cheers
Niall

There must be some kind of code that causes this highlighting. Either in the editor for the email template or in the token table.

Is there any way to post the source code of the email template? Where do these text come from? how are they inserted into the email?

Is there a way to show the source code of this email here?

Help us to help you!

Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

I agree. Here's the code as seen in the source editor. It is a real mess, I keep cleaning it up when I go through it but it always defaults back so I guess something somewhere is overriding it.

Code:

The problem seems to be this bit of code:

Code:

<span class="ckelimereplacementfields1">

Later there are a few spans defined to make the background white again. Take all theses spans out, they are probably causing the problems. Try to avoid the WYSIWYG-Editor, because they sometimes leave code that can make things complicated, especially when there have been many edits.

Thanks for the suggestion. It's made it lots better but the title still appears highlighted. This is the new source code.

Code:

That highlighting is inserted by Expression manager when it finds an error. There is something wrong with the variable "INSERTANS:256724X481X6034".

Ok. That at least makes me feel better that it's not a format issue. I'll check through and see if I can't find out what the issue you.

Many thanks everyone.
Niall
