Webform email, need help with line breaks
Tank Jr - November 2, 2009 - 22:55
Hi everyone,
I am new to this realm and need help with a website that I am being asked to build. I have a from on that site that accepts submissions and emails a confirmation email to the submitter.
I have almost everything in place, by using Webform, and the email gets sent, but I need to edit the content( delete a few lines and add some that are specific to my submission). I looked up the Internet and did the following:
1.Copied the 'webform-mail.tpl.php' file to my theme directory and renamed it for the node.
2. Then I edited that file.
My problem is that I am printing several lines and would like a newline to show up, but it is not.
I am usin the following syntax:
<?php print t('Here is line 1 \n')?>
<?php print t('Here is line 2 \n')?>However the lines just get printed as one single large line, with no breaks.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

add some HTML around the lines if you want them to break or put them in divs and use css.
Re: HTML
Hi
I did try to put in html tags like '
<br>' but that is being printed directly as<b>.And the only syntax that seems to work is
<?php print t ('This is a test ') ?>I used the break like this
<?php print t('See if this works <br>')?>=-=
HTML tags don't go inside the t() string, That is only for text and is why the tag is being printed.
use
<?php print t ('This is a test ') ?><br />
<?php print t('See if this works') ?>
or
<div><?php print t ('This is a test ') ?>
</div>
<div>
<?php print t('See if this works') ?>
</div>
notice that the HTML is not embedded in the t()
Re:
Hi,
thanks for the help. I tried using the first method you mentioned, and now I get the line breaks as I need. The problem is that the tag
<br \>is getting printed as well.

That is because I pasted the lines you originally used and forgot to remove the
<br>you added in the t(). I've edited my previous comment, removing the extraneous br tagsRe:
Thank you for the help.
Actually I noted that if I insert a blank line into the code it creates a line break.
