Hi there,

In HTML, you use `
` tags to define line breaks:
```auto
This is line one.
This is line two.
Best regards,

```
Or if you want, use `` and `
` for paragraph spacing.
Cheers,
Henk

HTML does not recognize “standard” new line characters used in plain text - it requires `
` tag or paragraph sections (`` `
`)
If you have a long string of plain text, you can also use the `Markdown to HTML` module. It will change all new line characters to
tags.

Hi @Carl_Johan_Ahlsell ,
To send a raw HTML email with line breaks in the message body, please set the **Body type** to **Raw HTML**.
Then, add your message content using the `
` tag wherever a line break is required.

This usually happens because the variable output is treated as plain text and HTML ignores line breaks. I’ve run into this in Make when inserting variables that contain newlines. Using tags instead of \n, or wrapping the output in a tag, usually fixes it. Also worth checking if the module is escaping HTML by default, since that can flatten everything into one line.
