Custom HTML in templates

To learn about template management, head to the documentation page dedicated to templates.

Using custom HTML in a template

⚠️ This page is an advanced configuration option for PageMailer. You may want to refrain from using it if you are not familiar with HTML & CSS.

Within the modal to Edit a template, scroll all the way down, and you will find this option:

Once the option is enabled, you should see the following:

Notes:

Disabling the Custom HTML option will delete any changes made to the HTML & CSS of the template. Please make sure you are saving a copy outside of PageMailer.
You are advised to copy the contents of the text area into an IDE or code editor, and paste it back into PageMailer when done.
If you need to come back to this documentation page, you should find the link directly under the text area when Custom HTML is enabled.
PageMailer uses a templating syntax in templates to support conditions, loops and variables. Head to the next section for more details.

Templating syntax within the template’s HTML

Within the HTML of a template, PageMailer uses templating which offers support for conditions, loops and variables, to manage styles depending on which attributes are configured or to loop over links added to the footer. In order to use this syntax yourself, please refer to the following:

Variables

The syntax for variables is as follows: {{variableName}}.

Here is the list of supported variables, which match what is configurable within the templates:

{{headerLogo}} – Use in src
{{headerLogoLink}} – Use in href
{{title}}
{{subtitle}}
{{page}} – Note: not part of the configuration, this contains the rendered Confluence page as HTML
{{footerLogo}} – Use in src
{{footerLogoLink}} – Use in href
{{signature}}
socialLinks – To be looped over, contains the following fields:
- {{this.link}} – Use in href
- {{this.logo}} – Use in src
- {{this.network}} – Use in alt
footerLinks – To be looped over, contains the following fields:
- {{this.link}} – Use in href
- {{this.label}}

Conditions

Condition

1

3
{{#if headerLogo}}
    <img class="logo" src="{{headerLogo}}" />
{{/if}}

Reverse condition

3
{{#unless headerLogo}}
    <span>No logo was selected</span>
{{/unless}}

Loops

Loop

1
2

4
{{#each footerLinks}}
    <a href="{{this.link}}">{{this.label}}</a>
    {{#unless @last}}|{{/unless}}
{{/each}}

Within a loop, you have access to the following special variables:

@index
@first – true when on the first iteration
@last – true when on the last iteration

Modifiers

<!-- Specify a default value -->
{{default colors.headerText "#000000"}}

<!-- Make a string uppercase -->
{{uppercase title}}

Custom CSS

When writing your own template’s HTML, you may want to also specify custom CSS. PageMailer’s rendering works by taking styles available within the HTML document inside of a <style>...</style> element, and applying the styles inline before sending the email. This is done to maximize email client support.

Below are PageMailer’s default styles, used for the base rendering of a Confluence page. You may want to also take a look at supported Confluence macros to get a sense of what each class is used for. You can override the style of any of these classes directly in the template’s CSS.

Full stylesheet

Note: this sheet is subject to change as support for new Confluence macros is expanded.
