Testing Email output for different email clients
Itcan'tbeguaranteedthatcontentwilllookthesameinallemailclients,particularlywhenitcomesto
olderclientversions,soitisrecommendedtoalwaystestandvalidatetheoutputbysendingatest
email.
AnexampleofatoolthatcanfacilitatetestingtoensureaconsistentlookandfeelisLitmus:https://l-
itmus.com/email-testing.
IfyouhaveaLitmusaccount,youcanenteryourLitmustestaddresswhensendingatestemail(see
"GeneratingEmailoutput"onpage876).

Aborting content creation
Youmaywantthecontentcreationprocesstobeabortedincertainsituations;forexample,whenatem-
platescriptfailstoloadremotecontent.Toabortthecontentcreationprocess,youmayraiseafatal
errorfromwithinascriptinthetemplate;see"fatalError(message)"onpage719.
WhenascriptcallsthisfunctioninPreviewmode,thescriptthattriggersitismarkedwithanerroricon
intheScriptspane,andthegivenmessageisdisplayedinahint.
WhengeneratingoutputfromtheDesigner,theDesignerwilllogtheerroranddisplayanerrordialog
withthegivenmessage.Contentcreationisaborted.
