SID-00553: Looking for a solution to use % TEXT % in a table

I use a template with the comment plugin that puts comments into a two row table using the pipe character TWiki formatting. I can do this because I'm using HTTP GET and can use % URLPARAM with the newline parameter to make sure the posting fits into a single cell.

MailInContrib uses a var called TEXT to be the content of the email.

How can I filter or whatnot to swap the newlines for HTML breaks. <br />

Discussion and Answer

I gave up trying and instead copied the HTML out from a rendered page and put that into MailInContribUserTemplate. Good enough for me for now.

Probably won't work that well for changes in styles since there are some overrides in there.

<verbatim>

%TMPL:DEF{MAILIN:normal}%
  <table style="border-width:1px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="twikiTable" border="1">
    <tr class="twikiTableEven">
      <td bgcolor="#ffffff" valign="top" style="vertical-align:top;" class="twikiFirstCol">Log'd via Email by Main.TWikiGuest with subject "%SUBJECT%" on 2026-09-25 - 17:04</td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="twikiTableOdd">
      <td bgcolor="#edf4f9" valign="top" style="vertical-align:top;" class="twikiFirstCol twikiLast"> %TEXT%  </td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="twikiTableEven">
      <td bgcolor="#ffffff" valign="top" style="vertical-align:top;" class="twikiFirstCol">With attachments...</td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="twikiTableOdd">
      <td bgcolor="#edf4f9" valign="top" style="vertical-align:top;" class="twikiFirstCol twikiLast">
%ATTACHMENTS%</td>
    </tr>

  </table>
%TMPL:END%
%TMPL:DEF{MAILIN:normal:ATTACHMENT}%   * [[https://twiki.org/p/pub/Support/SID-00553/%A_FILE%][%A_FILE%]]
%TMPL:END%

</verbatim>
