Additional Notes in Google Calendar Displays HTML

Casey P. shared this problem 10 years ago
Solved

Pretty much what the title says. I was hoping to push Additional Notes 2 directly to Google Calendar for quick and easy reference notes but it seems Google doesn't parse out the <br />. It also doesn't seem to recognize the <a> tag for *contract_url*. See lead# 678275

I think this might be an issue we won't be able to do much about given that it's on Google's handling of our text. Sorry

Just a thought without actually seeing the issue or knowing how IO passes the info to Google. When IO passes the info out of IO, can the process do a Javascript .replace on the special characters and see if Google handles that - like assuming the text is a variable called AdditionalNotes2, AdditionalNotes2.replace(/&/g,'&').replace(/"/g,'"').replace(/</g,'<').replace(/>/g,'>')


Might be worth a try!

actually I see that your comments tool did its own replacing!!


  1. AdditionalNotes2.replace(/&/g,'&').replace(/"/g,'"').replace(/</g,'<').replace(/>/g,'>')

crap - still did it even when I put the replace in a code block!!


I added some spaces in the replacements to get it to show for the last two replacements


< becomes '& lt;'

> becomes '& gt;'


just drop the spaces!

There isn't anything we can do... It looks like google doesn't support html code in the calendar notes. We pass the data directly to their calendar API.
