In grails, I use a GSP template to render an HTML email sent out

  • 0

In grails, I use a GSP template to render an HTML email sent out with the mail plug-in. This works fine, however the GSP template uses a param which is in turn retrieved from my messages.properties file. Now I want to use HTML, e.g. <br/> inside the messages.properties, but it in the mail it appears as text and the tag is not interpreted.

I already tried to use .decodeHTML() on the parameter in the GSP, but it didn’t work.

Where do I have to encode / decode or is it possible at all to use HTML tags inside messages.properties?

<%@ page contentType="text/html"%>
<html>
<body>
${variableWithHTMLTextFromMessagesProperties}
</body>
</html>

    Found the solution here. Easiest way is just to use <%=variableWithHTMLTextFromMessagesProperties%> instead of ${variableWithHTMLTextFromMessagesProperties}. This stops the HTML escaping.
