    How to keep html-tags in a variable? (For use with Sendmail)

    Hi!

    I have a problem sending html-formatted email with Sendmail.

    umbraco.library:SendMail($senderEmailAddress, $administratorEmailAddress, $subject, $messageFormatted, true())

    The $messageFormatted is a variable build like this:

    <xsl:variable name="messageFormatted">
    <h1>Message header</h1>
    <p>Message body</p>
    </xsl:variable>

    The email is sent with no html-tags, the tags are removed from the variable in some step, I don't know how to keep them. :-o (If I put a string with tags instead of the variable the html-tags are kept, for example 

    umbraco.library:SendMail($senderEmailAddress, $administratorEmailAddress, $subject, '&lt;h1&gt;Header&lt;/h1&gt;', true())

    )

    So I wonder how to keep the html-tags in my variable. CData?

    Thanks!

    I noticed that this approach works:

    <xsl:variable name="messageFormatted">
    <![CDATA[
    <h1>Message header</h1>
    <p>Message body</p>
    ]]>
    </xsl:variable>

    But ... I have lots of variables in my message (which could not be used in CData) and using CData would mean a very messy code.

    <xsl:variable name="messageFormatted">
    <![CDATA[
    <h1>Message header</h1>
    <xsl:value-of select="$someVariable"/>
    <p>Message body</p>
    <xsl:value-of select="$someOtherVariable"/>
    ]]>
    </xsl:variable>

    Well, ok, it's not sooo messy, and it work's so I'll use this for now :-)

    <xsl:variable name="messageFormatted">
    <![CDATA[<h1>Message header</h1>]]>
    <xsl:value-of select="$someVariable"/>
    <![CDATA[<p>Message body</p>]]>
    <xsl:value-of select="$someOtherVariable"/>
    </xsl:variable>

    I saw solution somewhere while ago. I don't have orginal URL but code works. Just add xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" and xmlns:csharp="urn:csharp-com:xslt" namespaces.

    Put function in XSLT

     

        <msxsl:script language="C#" implements-prefix="csharp">

            <![CDATA[

        public static string getText(XPathNavigator nodes)

        {

            return nodes.OuterXml;

        }

        ]]>

        </msxsl:script>

     

     

    Then call SendMail with the getText function

    csharp:getText($messageFormatted)

    Jukka-Pekka : ok, makes sense, thanks. Looks like a function that should be conventient to have in a helper xslt-extension-dll.
