How can I display a multi-line property in a ElectricCommander email notifier?
I am trying to print a multi-line workflow property in an email notifier, however it is being displayed in a single line rather than multiple lines.
My property looks like something this:
rpm1
rpm2
rpm3
rpm4
It is being displayed like this in the email:
rpm1 rpm2 rpm3 rpm4
Snippet from email body template:
Installed Software
$[/myWorkflow/installedRpmList]

This is a feature of HTML -- unless you tell it otherwise, it assumes that line breaks are just like any other white space.
Option a) Use javascript to translate the newline characters to the HTML tag <br/> -- which is an HTML line break.
Option b) Use the <pre> tag to tell it that the text is "preformatted", which in addition to some other stuff will preserve your newlines. That would look like:
<H3>Installed Software</H3> <pre>$[/myWorkflow/installedRPMList]</pre>
