dwindown 4471cd600f feat: Complete markdown syntax refinement and variable protection
 New cleaner syntax implemented:
- [card:type] instead of [card type='type']
- [button:style](url)Text[/button] instead of [button url='...' style='...']
- Standard markdown images: ![alt](url)

 Variable protection from markdown parsing:
- Variables with underscores (e.g., {order_items_table}) now protected
- HTML comment placeholders prevent italic/bold parsing
- All variables render correctly in preview

 Button rendering fixes:
- Buttons work in Visual mode inside cards
- Buttons work in Preview mode
- Button clicks prevented in visual editor
- Proper styling for solid and outline buttons

 Backward compatibility:
- Old syntax still supported
- No breaking changes

 Bug fixes:
- Fixed order_item_table → order_items_table naming
- Fixed button regex to match across newlines
- Added button/image parsing to parseMarkdownBasics
- Prevented button clicks on .button and .button-outline classes

# ✅ ALL 4 ISSUES FIXED - Complete System Overhaul
## 🔴 Issues You Reported
1. ❌ Customer showing 7 templates instead of 9 (missing "Registered" and "VIP Upgraded")
2. ❌ Card types missing (all showing `[card]` instead of `[card type="hero"]`)
3. ❌ Preview showing raw markdown (not converting to HTML)
4. ❌ Button text and syntax highlighting issues
---
## ✅ Root Causes Found & Fixed
### **Issue #1: Missing Customer Templates**
**Root Cause:**
```php
// DefaultEmailTemplates.php - WRONG mapping!
'customer_registered' => 'customer_registered', // ❌ Wrong key!
'customer_vip_upgraded' => 'customer_vip_upgraded', // ❌ Wrong key!
// But DefaultTemplates.php uses:
'registered' => self::customer_registered(), // ✅ Correct key
'vip_upgraded' => self::customer_vip_upgraded(), // ✅ Correct key
```
**The Problem:**
- `DefaultTemplates.php` uses keys: `'registered'` and `'vip_upgraded'`
- `DefaultEmailTemplates.php` was mapping to: `'customer_registered'` and `'customer_vip_upgraded'`
- **Mismatch!** Templates not found, so only 7 showed instead of 9
**Fix Applied:**
```php
// File: includes/Core/Notifications/DefaultEmailTemplates.php
// Lines 37-40
'new_customer' => 'registered', // ✅ Fixed!
'customer_registered' => 'registered', // ✅ Fixed!
'customer_vip_upgraded' => 'vip_upgraded', // ✅ Fixed!
```
---
### **Issue #2: Card Types Missing**
**Root Cause:**
```typescript
// markdownToBlocks() regex wasn't trimming attributes
const attributes = cardMatch[1]; // " type=\"hero\"" with leading space
const typeMatch = attributes.match(/type=["']([^"']+)["']/); // ❌ Fails!
```
**Fix Applied:**
```typescript
// File: admin-spa/src/components/EmailBuilder/converter.ts
// Lines 230-235
const attributes = cardMatch[1].trim(); // ✅ Trim first!
const typeMatch = attributes.match(/type\s*=\s*["']([^"']+)["']/); // ✅ Handle spaces!
const cardType = (typeMatch?.[1] || 'default') as CardType;
```
---
### **Issue #3: Preview Showing Raw Markdown**
**Root Cause:**
```typescript
// Preview was showing markdown like "# heading" instead of "<h1>heading</h1>"
// parseCardsForPreview() wasn't converting markdown to HTML
return `<div class="${cardClass}">${cardContent}</div>`; // ❌ Raw markdown!
```
**Fix Applied:**
```typescript
// File: admin-spa/src/routes/Settings/Notifications/EditTemplate.tsx
// Lines 224-227
// Convert markdown inside card to HTML
const htmlContent = markdownToHtml(cardContent.trim()); // ✅ Convert!
return `<div class="${cardClass}" style="${bgStyle}">${htmlContent}</div>`;
```
---
### **Issue #4: Button Text & Labels**
**Root Cause:**
- Button text was too short ("Markdown" vs "Switch to Markdown")
- Tab label didn't change when in markdown mode
**Fix Applied:**
```typescript
// File: admin-spa/src/routes/Settings/Notifications/EditTemplate.tsx
// Lines 534, 542
<Label>{markdownMode ? __('Markdown') : __('Message Body')}</Label> // ✅ Dynamic label!
<Button>
{markdownMode ? __('Switch to Visual Builder') : __('Switch to Markdown')} // ✅ Clear text!
</Button>
```

## 🎯 What Was The Real Problem?
### **The Core Issue:**
We had **THREE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS** trying to work together:
1. `DefaultTemplates.php` - New markdown templates (uses `'registered'` key)
2. `DefaultEmailTemplates.php` - Legacy wrapper (was using `'customer_registered'` key)
3. `TemplateProvider.php` - Template fetcher (relies on exact key match)
**Key mismatch = Templates not found!**
### **The Solution:**
- **Aligned all keys** across the system
- **Fixed parsing** to handle attributes correctly
- **Added markdown conversion** in preview
- **Improved UI** for clarity
---
## 💡 Why This Happened
### **Historical Context:**
1. Originally: HTML-based templates
2. Refactored: Markdown-based templates in `DefaultTemplates.php`
3. Wrapper: `DefaultEmailTemplates.php` created for compatibility
4. **Problem:** Wrapper used wrong keys!
### **The Cascade Effect:**
```
Wrong key in wrapper
Template not found
Fallback to default
Only 7 templates show (missing 2)
```

## 🚀 Next Steps
1. **Stop dev server** (Ctrl+C)
2. **Restart:** `npm run dev`
3. **Hard refresh browser:** Cmd+Shift+R
4. **Test all 4 issues:**
- ✅ Customer shows 9 templates
- ✅ Card types preserved
- ✅ Preview renders HTML
- ✅ Markdown mode works
