When no pattern is specified, some default format is applied. For other types, it is not possible
to specify a pattern or locale.
For patterns and pattern characters see "Date and time patterns" on page791 and "Number
patterns" on page802.
Generating Email output
The Email context outputs HTML email with embedded formatting to an email client through the
use of an email server. The HTML generated by this context is meant to be compatible with as
many clients and as many devices as possible.
Email is sent in a single batch for the whole record set.
To test a template, you can send a test email first.
Output, generated from an Email template, can have the following attachments:
l The contents of the Print context, in the form of a single PDF attachment. (Compression
options for PDF attachments can be specified in the Email context's properties; see
"Compressing PDF attachments" on page174.)
l Other files, an image or a PDF leaflet for example.
Attaching the Print context is one of the options in the "Send (Test) Email" on page516 dialog.
For more information see "Email attachments" on page185.
Before generating Email output
l Decide on the use of an Email Service Provider; see "Using an ESP with PrintShop Mail
Connect" on page977.
l Make sure that a data set is loaded, that any necessary files, such as images and
attachments, are in place, and that the correct settings are selected (see below).
l If you're using style sheets to style the email, choose whether the styles must be added to
the header of the email or to inline style properties as if local formatting was applied (this
is also called "embedded CSS"). This setting is made per Email section. See "Email
section properties" on page513.
