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:
but it fails when I put this in the equation text:

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.

Yepp, and that means opening a bug report Like I have done with the EndURL issue with EM. I haven't looked into the LS from tpartner. Would be interesting to know if he sees the current behavior as a bug or as a missing feature.

You are right, Jelo. I will write a bug report. I hope I can reproduce the error...

I would probably view it as a bug. In my opinion, EM should parse the HTML correctly, no matter where used.
