Rendered_Email_Velocity_Error_Area_?! error without velocity scripting???

Hi community,

Our brand managers keep getting an error whenever they try to save a brand new template we created.

We are able to save and approve the template, but whenever a brand manager tries to create, edit and save an email with that template they keep getting:

Rendered_Email_Velocity_Error_Area_?!

I can't figure out for the life of me how to solve this.

I saw on another thread that there could be an error with a "#" or "?" but I'm not sure where to look exactly.

Any suggestions? @Sanford Whiteman​

Bet this is actually happening on the Text side.

If you have a mktoVariable defined that you're using as an <a href>, that causes a break on the text side since variables don't work in the text version. (Normally variables don't cause an error, they just are blank, but links are an exception.)

Solve it by adding this to your <head>:

<!--

#set( $link = "${link}" )

-->

where link is the mktoVariable name.
