E-Mail Digest Modifications

[Marc Martin]

Hi, I'm experimenting with different amounts of text to be included with email digests.  I see that there is a "digest_html" with the following lines of code:

             <n.trim.truncate. size="200">
                <n.compress.current_node.message.as_text/>
            </n.trim.truncate.> 

So obviously, if I want to increase the amount of characters, I'd increase the "200" to something higher.  But what about leaving the whitespace alone -- that is, not cramming everything together into a few lines?  What changes need to be made for that?

Thanks!

There are two macros that you can edit digest_html and digest_text. I didn't understand which space are you talking about, could you give me a print?

I think there is a "compress" function in that macro, yes?

So if someone posts a message like:

  "Hello,
 
   How are you?

   I am fine.

   Marc"

In the digest, it ends up looking like this:

  "Hello, How are you? I am fine. Marc"

So I'm just wondering what the macro code would look like to leave the text untouched? (except to truncate it at some point).

In order to make your message format intact and larger, please, replace your codes with these:
digest_html:

<n.trim.truncate. size="300">
	<n.current_node.node_message_as_html/>
</n.trim.truncate.>

digest_text:

<n.trim.truncate. size="300">
	 <n.current_node.message.as_text/>
</n.trim.truncate.>

Thanks, that worked!  Although looking at the result, I think I prefer the default look.  :-)
