Token breaking when sending samples

Question

Hello, I am using velocity script to set a link based on lead language, I have a series of 12 if/then statements.

The velocity script is working fine during previews in marketo, but when sending tests to my email, the link breaks. How should I format the output, so the link does does not break?

We have/want to use a tags on the email side instead of the velocity side for formatting' the reason is we use the token in multiple places in the email with different styling. What is the exact format I need to print my token via velocity script so the link does not break when sending emails?

OK, that’s not a sample then. Terminology matters! You need to output the whole link, e.g.:## some Velocity## some other VelocityVisit

As a rule, don’t use Send Sample to test Velocity tokens. Only use real emails.

As far as the links, as noted in lots of other places you need output the entire link, from opening <a> to closing </a>, from your Velocity code. Only outputting part of the link from Velocity isn’t supported.
