Question

I am trying to put a html table into the body of an email. To do this I am trying to build a string that contains the html. I am getting an error though when I try to add a line that includes quotes within the html. How can I ignore these quotes, and just capture the entire line?

BodyRiskMatrix = [BodyRiskMatrix stringByAppendingFormat:@"font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";}"];

Xcode views the Calibri and sans-serif as variables. Do I need to just delete all of the quotes within the html?

Answer 1

Use a \ before any of your quotes

 [BodyRiskMatrix stringByAppendingFormat:@"font-family:\"Calibri\",\"sans-serif\";}"];

this is how you use an escape in C-type languages.

If you want to add HTML to an email you can add an HTML file to your project and then do

    [mailController setMessageBody:htmlFile isHTML:YES];
