Hey… i’m using code like this and try to use linebreak in data->text. any idea? those tests did not work

               $kirby->email([
                    'template' => 'email',
                    'from'     => esc($site->email()),
                    'replyTo'  => $data['email'],
                    'to'       => esc($targetmail),
                    'subject'  => '[' . esc($data['title']) . '] ' . esc($data['name']) . ' ' . esc($site->labelEmailSubject()->or('sent you a message from your contact form')),
                    'data'     => [
                        'text'   => 'test1' . '\\n' . 'test2' . '\\n\\l' . 'test3' . '\n' . 'test4' . '\n\l' . 'test5',
                        'sender' => esc($data['name'])
                    ]
                ]);

Could you try \n in double quotes like: "\n"

'data'     => [
    'text'   => 'test1' . "\n" . 'test2' . "\n\l" . 'test3' . "\n" . 'test4' . "\n\l" . 'test5',
    'sender' => esc($data['name'])
]

hey…
thx a lot…
but well… now i see it’s more complicated as thought…

in text-only view, there is a linebreak by using ‘"\n"’… but in html view it’s not…

when using "<br>" instead, results in the opposite…

i’m confused about the correct solution for getting linebreaks in such multipart-messages that are created by kirby->email()

Why don’t you create separate fields per line, then you can add your line breaks inside the templates.

i don’t get it… could you please explain in other words and/or in more detail?

What I mean is

'text1'   => 'test1',
'text2' => 'test2',
'text3' => 'test3'
'sender' => esc($data['name'])

Then add linebreaks after each field as “\n” in your text template, <br> in your HTML template.

thx… this would help in my specific case… but seems to me not realy a solution for multiline text in fields.

Any idea for them? we use an inputfield where people could write in multiple lines.

edit:
nevermind… i think i have to write a solution to split the multiline string to reformat it for html-mails…

edit2:
simple nl2br()
