I need this functionality. This is for a language school. I need a teacher to be able to select a students level. For each level, there is a set of capabilities that define what the level means (what the student is capable of doing in English at their level). Then in the notification to the student, I need the student to receive something like:</p> <p>Your level: A1<br /> You are capable of the following:<br /> - Writing a simple post card<br /> - Telling about where your are from<br /> - Asking simple questions</p> <p>I have created a drop down list in the form where the teacher selects the student's level (A1, A2, etc.), and then I use the list's merge tag to plug in the level in the notification. But how can I have the notification plug in the corresponding capabilities that are associated with the level given? (formatted in a list form, with bold, underline, etc)</p> <p>In a way, I guess the list of capabilities is the value of the level given. Can one enter html coded lists in the value boxes of drop down field entries? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/html-block-output-in-email-notifications-and-on-pages#post-48991 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:43:22 +0000 Rob Harrell 48991@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Kevin is referring to the paragraph text form field to use here, instead of the HTML field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/html-block-output-in-email-notifications-and-on-pages#post-48975 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:15:53 +0000 axzm 48975@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>When you say this...</p> <p>"You can always use styled paragraph text (textareas) with default text in place of textual content in HTML blocks.

They're for outputting freeform HTML and aren't form inputs.

I have been trying to get this project going for three weeks. I am going to have to switch to another software unless I can figure out how to get HTML output in email from gravity forms.</p> <p>I understand it was not built in, but seems to be a crucial feature. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/html-block-output-in-email-notifications-and-on-pages#post-44141 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:16:19 +0000 ibvmarketing 44141@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Chris,</p> <p>Thanks for the answer.</p> <p>I was able to find the ids, so for example I changed the line of code to</p> <p>(" . $_POST["input_89"] .

Or, you can preview the form and the "View Source" in the browser to get the actual IDs you need. </p> <p>If you need more help please let us know. </p>
