Aaron Hill Fields that are populated with html text, as merge fields in visualforce emails
I have a large text field on Opportunities that is populated with text formatted by html when the Opportunity is created. I use an apex trigger to do this. The field is a simple questionnare asking details about the opportunity the. The trigger only inserted html code into the field, nothing too fancy.
I created a visualforce email template with the field inside of it hoping I could send a copy of the questionnare to my team. I put the merge field inside of html tags. But when I tested the template my merge field rendered as plain text, with no line breaks, and all of the html tags.
Here is the visualforce template:
And the resulting text looked like this:
Normally I would use jQuery to re-encode the html. I saw something about using this command:
!HTMLENCODE(myobjdata).
But I've heard I can't use or shouldn't use jQuery in a visualforce email template.
I need that code to render! Can anyone help? Thanks!
