Incomplete Article

This page is still under construction! Therefore may be incomplete.

This section of the Project mapping allows user to define the default HTML conversion rules of the inbound mail content. JEMHC converts HTML into a less feature rich 'wiki markup', this supports some translation of HTML features like headings, basic tables, but does not have the 'deep' compatibility for example nested tables or background/ text colour options. This is a limitation of wiki markup content. JEMHC can attach the raw HTML of the content as an attachment if required.

Whitespace Settings For Tag Conversion

Info

If there is no white space between a text element and Table then the text will be added to the table as a data cell. The work around for this is to use Before and After option for white space settings.
