How do I make newline work in emails?

In my string, there is a newline after each object.name. I have the text showing on screen during the game, while words are placed. Also, I send this string to an e-mail. When it reaches, I figure out that between these words, there are only simple breaks ( spaces ) in the email. What do I add in the Set Value besides &newline in order to make line break work in usual exported texts?

<br> is the html tag for a line break, try replacing newline with that.

It gives a syntax error... I guess html tags are not welcomed in Value Set...

This might be the only way?...

How are you sending the email? Are you sending the text via AJAX to a script in say PHP to send the email?

For example you have: "Hello!" & newline & "Bye!" as your text.

AJAX: post to url("tag", "https://mydomain.com/emailpage.php", URLEncode(replace(text, newline, "<br>")), "POST")

Then when the script receives the post, make sure to URLDecode.

I am sending e-mails with the help of this very nice plugin made by armaldio

scirra.com/tutorials/1052/send-an-e-mail-using-construct-and-mandrill-plugin

I have no idea how it sends, but it would be great to be able to add this real <br> to be received by normal e-mail platforms

Hello

I'm not currently at home so I can't help now, but sure I will look at this is issue when go back at home.

BTW, did you try to add <br> in the body of your mail. The body support html formatting

thanks for answering! the body of my mail consists only of the string that is created by Set Value box. and when I put <br> there they pop up with Syntax Error. It doesnt support it I guess

be sure that the br is part of the string

"My name is... <br>Mister Madam!"

Hello

i just tried to send a mail containing <br> and it works

If in your box you have a carriage return (line break) you can do this way :

replace(yourText, "
", "<br>")
[/code:kwdo12bu]

and it should work 

"
" is the caracets code of an html line break

It really does! My God... I was just replacing &newline with &<br> that is why I was getting syntax erros....

Thank you for answering armaldio! I still have a lot of work to do here....

What would you recommend in order to achieve this thing in c2?

chrisbateman.github.io/spherical/

can be made as a plugin or it should be integrated other way to be able to use as layout?

I just had a quick look so i can be wrong ^^

As mentionned on Github

[quote:1olay6pt]Include the JS and CSS, make a <div> for it to live in, and instantiate it:

So i can make a plugin easily i think but you need also the div plugin from pode

I will MP you when i look it more precisely

I replied via email. It looks amazing!
