🐛 Three Critical Email Issues Fixed:
1. Newlines Not Working
❌ "Order Number: #359 Order Total: Rp129.000" on same line
✅ Fixed by adding <br> for line continuations in paragraphs
Key change in MarkdownParser.php:
- Accumulate paragraph content with <br> between lines
- Match TypeScript behavior exactly
- Protect variables from markdown parsing
Before:
$paragraph_content = $trimmed;
After:
if ($paragraph_content) {
$paragraph_content .= '<br>' . $trimmed;
} else {
$paragraph_content = $trimmed;
}
2. Hero Card Text Color
❌ Heading black instead of white in Gmail
✅ Add inline color styles to all headings/paragraphs
Problem: Gmail doesn't inherit color from parent
Solution: Add style="color: white;" to each element
$content = preg_replace(
'/<(h[1-6]|p)([^>]*)>/',
'<$1$2 style="color: ' . $hero_text_color . ';">',
$content
);
3. Blue Border on Cards
❌ Unwanted blue border in Gmail (screenshot 2)
✅ Removed borders from .card-info, .card-warning, .card-success
Problem: CSS template had borders
Solution: Removed border declarations
Before:
.card-info { border: 1px solid #0071e3; }
After:
.card-info { background-color: #f0f7ff; }
�� Additional Improvements:
- Variable protection during markdown parsing
- Don't match bold/italic across newlines
- Proper list handling
- Block-level tag detection
- Paragraph accumulation with line breaks
🎯 Result:
- ✅ Proper line breaks in paragraphs
- ✅ White text in hero cards (Gmail compatible)
- ✅ No unwanted borders
- ✅ Variables preserved during parsing
- ✅ Professional email appearance
Test: Create order, check email - should now show:
- Order Number: #359
- Order Total: Rp129.000
- Estimated Delivery: 3-5 business days
(Each on separate line with proper spacing)
