Tammo, try placing the variable text in an equation question and then reference that question in the email.

That is correct, but the question is what happens in LS afterwards. Why was disabling the HTML editor recommended instead of just using the other view? We once had a "smart ass" filtering in the EndURL field, where no editor was involved. When using EM sometimes the whole URL got messed up. Since there was no bug report there might be no bug at all.

Tammo, which version are you using?

Good idea. I remember doing just that to workaround the issue with the filtered EM code inside the EndURL field.
Try that Tammo. Will narrow down the issue.

But still struggling with HTML, though: replacing equation text in the mail works, but HTML tags are lost. Still investigating, but 1 step further now. Thanks.

If it works the issue is not with the editor itself but with the php code handling the EM stuff.

I guess the EM does not swallow line breaks...

Try with htmlentities() and html_entity_decode(), something like this post - www.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-this-w...ge-won-t-load#141000

Strange, this does not work. html_entity_decode decodes to:

Confirmation mail text (in HTML) htmlentities( ' < p > Hiereenwatlangeretekst < / p > < p > -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- < / p > < p > http : / / www.toolsforresearch.com < / p > < p > -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- < / p > ' )

It works when I place this in the equation text:
Code:
<p>Hier een wat langere tekst</p>
 
<p>--------------------------------------</p>
 
<p>https://www.toolsforresearch.com</p>
 
<p>--------------------------------------</p>

but it fails when I put this in the equation text:
Code:
{htmlentities('<p>Hier een wat langere tekst</p>
 
<p>--------------------------------------</p>
 
<p>https://www.toolsforresearch.com</p>
 
<p>--------------------------------------</p>')}

HTML for token emails is switched on. Using 2.50 GIT

Here is a small sample survey with the basic admin notification set to include your variable text - you will need to change the "Send basic admin notification email to" setting.

Click 1 in Q1 to have the variable text included in the notification email.

Wow, this is something that has cost some hours. Somehow your example worked perfectly, while what I typed looked the same. I guess it must have been a keyboard issue, encoding of the quotes or something. After typing in again (keyboard US-English) it works!

Sounds like quoting hell. It's a nice hobby for some of us ;-) Will you open a bug ticket? Or isn't that currently a workaround?

This was already a workaround: putting HTML text (without variables) in an equation and then referring to that equation. If this grows huge, for each respondent the same text is saved in his/her record in the database. I find that a bit clumsy.

For now (and with a short text) this may work. For following implementations I will look for another solution. Perhaps try to call a text file.
