Rulemanager can convert Markdown within an email to HTML. This is commonly used in conjunction with Dovetail Agent (version 8 or later), which supports sending richly-formatted emails using Markdown.
Markdown is a lightweight and easy-to-use syntax for styling text on the web. You control the display of the document; formatting words as bold or italic, adding images, and creating lists are just a few of the things we can do with Markdown. Mostly, Markdown is just regular text with a few non-alphabetic characters thrown in, like # or *.
The Markdown to HTML conversion is enabled/disabled by the EmailServiceConfig.ParseMarkdown configuration setting.
Markdown can be used in any text that gets sent as an email, including
Rulemanager supports publicly available images within an email. The Markdown for these would look like:
Rulemanager supports images that have been uploaded to Amazon S3 from Dovetail Agent. The Markdown for these would look like:
Emails that contain a link to an image stored in Amazon S3 (such as those sent from Dovetail Agent version 8 and later) will show the image as an inline image.
This requires the S3 settings to be defined within the FChoice.RuleManager.WindowsService.exe.config file.
Rulemanager (as of version 1.6) also support images that have been uploaded to Dovetail Seeker from Dovetail Agent. The Markdown for these would look like:
This requires the ResourceStore setting to be defined within the FChoice.RuleManager.WindowsService.exe.config file.
When Rulemanager converts the Markdown to HTML, it also inlines the CSS styles. Inline styles are supported across all major email clients. The styles are defined in the email.css file, which is shipped with Rulemanager. This file can be customized, if needed. Once the file is edited, Rulemanager needs to be restarted in order to pick up the changes.
