Question

Can we have empty line between modules in the email text version?

When the HTML content in an email is automatically copied over the text version, is there a way to have an empty line between two modules so the Text version is easier to read. For example, in my HTML version I have a few modules:

- Title
- Body text

- CTA

- Footer

There is spacing between these two modules, but when copied over the Text version, there is only on break line.

If you have a lot of content generated with modules like my example, it made a big block of text difficult to read. We try to avoid to format the text version, especially that we have many languages.

HTML Version (text w bullets is a module, cta is a module, and footer is too)

Text Version (No empty lines between text, bullets and Follow Us)

And there are P and BR in the HTML, but we don't see them in the Text version.

Thanks for your help,

Eric

As well you shouldn't, since they have no special meaning in Text.

You can add your own line breaks to the Text version. The rules for "transpiling" HTML to Text are prone to plenty of errors, so if you are taking the Text presentation seriously, you need to hand-tune it.
