Line Spacing Increased Issue When Updating Email Body With Office.js - outlook-addin

I’m working on an add-in for Microsoft Outlook, and one behavior of my add-in is to insert an image into a message body from compose view. I use the Office.js method Office.context.mailbox.item.body.getAsync() with a coercion type of HTML to get the email body in HTML form. I add my image to the email’s HTML, and then I replace the email’s body with my updated HTML using the Office.js method Office.context.mailbox.item.body.setAsync(), again with a coercion type of HTML.
From the Outlook Web App, everything works as expected. From an Outlook desktop platform (Outlook 2016, Outlook 2013, and Outlook for Mac), unexpected formatting changes are made to the email body. This might have to do with Outlook desktop platforms using Microsoft Word as their text editor.
I think the method Office.context.mailbox.item.body.getAsync() is causing two side effects:
<o:p> tags are being inserted after each paragraph in the email
The paragraph spacing setting for all content in the email is being set to “auto”
These two side effects will cause each line in an email to take more vertical space than before. Is there a way to prevent these two side effects?
I’ve written some Javascript code to reproduce this issue. Run this code from compose view to see the HTML body value printed is different in the Outlook Web App vs. a desktop platform.
Office.context.mailbox.item.body.getAsync(Office.CoercionType.Html, function(asyncResult) {
if (asyncResult && asyncResult.status === Office.AsyncResultStatus.Succeeded) {
console.log('Value retrieved from getAsync(): ');
console.log(asyncResult.value);
// Isolate the email body's HTML, in case a word doc has been returned
var parser = new DOMParser();
var dom = parser.parseFromString(asyncResult.value, 'text/html');
var body = $(dom.body);
console.log('HTML body:');
console.log(body.html());
// Setting the email's body to be our html content:
Office.context.mailbox.item.body.setAsync(body.html(), {
coercionType: Office.CoercionType.Html
}, function() {
console.log('Complete');
});
}
});
Using this sample code, the HTML body value for a test email was the following in the Web App:
<div id="divtagdefaultwrapper" style="font-size:12pt;color:#000000;font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;" dir="ltr">
<div id="x_divtagdefaultwrapper" dir="ltr" style="font-size:12pt; color:#000000; font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif">
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Hello,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">This is a test email.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Thank you,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Steve</p>
<div id="x_Signature">
<div id="x_divtagdefaultwrapper" dir="ltr" style="font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,EmojiFont,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji,"Segoe UI Symbol","Android Emoji",EmojiSymbols">
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And in Outlook 2016, this value was:
<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is a test email.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Steve<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
Running this code in Outlook 2016 caused a change in the line spacing of my test email,

Use GetElementsByClass to find all <div> elements by class name, nested inside a <p> element

I am creating a parser using Jsoup in Kotlin
I need to get a inner text of a tag with class "ptrack-content" inside the tag with class "titleCard-synopsis"
When I am trying to getElementsByClass in a element objects that created by a former getElementsByClass, I getting 0 elements
Code:
class NetlifxHtmlParser {
val html = """
<div class="titleCardList--metadataWrapper">
<div class="titleCardList-title"><span class="titleCard-title_text">Map Her</span><span><span class="duration ellipsized">50m</span></span></div>
<p class="titleCard-synopsis previewModal--small-text">
<div class="ptrack-content">A hidden map rocks Hartley High as the students' sexcapades are publicly exposed. Caught as the culprit, Amerie becomes an instant social pariah.</div>
</p>
</div>
<div class="titleCardList--metadataWrapper">
<div class="titleCardList-title"><span class="titleCard-title_text">Renaissance Titties</span><span><span class="duration ellipsized">50m</span></span></div>
<p class="titleCard-synopsis previewModal--small-text">
<div class="ptrack-content">Amerie, the new outcast, receives a party invitation that gives her butterflies. But when she manages to show up, a bitter surprise awaits.</div>
</p>
</div>
""".trimIndent()
fun parseEpisode() {
val doc = Jsoup.parseBodyFragment(html)
val titleCards = doc.getElementsByClass("titleCard-synopsis")
println("Episode: count titleCard = > ${titleCards.count()}") // 2
titleCards.forEachIndexed { index, element ->
val ptrack = element.getElementsByClass("ptrack-content")
println("Episode: count ptrack = > ${ptrack.count()}") // 0 !!
println("inner html = > ${ptrack.html()}") // null string !!
}
}
}
In the above code,
First, I am extracting tags with class name titleCard-synopsis.
For that , I using doc.getElementsByClass("titleCard-synopsis") which returns 2 element items.
Then, In the List of titleCard elements, I am extracting the elements that have ptrack-content as Class, by using the same getElementsByClass in each element,
which returns empty list.
Why this is happening ?
My goal is, I need to extract the description text for each title, the stored in the interior tags of p tag with class titleCard-synopsis.
If I try to get directly from "ptrack-content", it's working fine, but this a general class used in many places in the main HTML source. (this is snippet)
I need to get a inner text of a tag with class "ptrack-content" inside the tag with class "titleCard-synopsis"
But in the above method in the code, I am only getting emtpy list.
Why ?
Also note that, if I invoke the HTML() method in a element object of titleCards(ptrack.html()),
I am not getting the inner DIV tag, an empty string!!!
Please guide my to resolve the issue !
TL;DR
I need to get a inner text of a tag with class "ptrack-content" inside the tag with class "titleCard-synopsis"
I'm not really familiar with Kotlin, but this should produce the desired output:
val doc = Jsoup.parseBodyFragment(html)
val result = doc.select(".titleCard-synopsis + .ptrack-content")
result.forEachIndexed {index, element ->
println("${element.html()}")
}
Live example
This is an interesting problem!
You basically have an invalid HTML and jsoup is smart enough to auto-correct it for your. Your HTML structure gets altered and suddenly your query does not work.
This is the error:
<p class="titleCard-synopsis previewModal--small-text">
<div class="ptrack-content">A hidden map rocks Hartley High as the students' sexcapades are publicly exposed. Caught as the culprit, Amerie becomes an instant social pariah.</div>
</p>
You can't nest a <div> element inside a <p> element like that.
Paragraphs are block-level elements, and notably will automatically close if another block-level element is parsed before the closing </p> tag. [Source: <p>: The Paragraph element]
Also, look at Nesting block level elements inside the <p> tag... right or wrong?
This is how jsoup parses your tree:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div class="titleCardList--metadataWrapper">
<div class="titleCardList-title">
<span class="titleCard-title_text">Map Her</span><span><span class="duration ellipsized">50m</span></span>
</div>
<p class="titleCard-synopsis previewModal--small-text"></p>
<div class="ptrack-content">
A hidden map rocks Hartley High as the students' sexcapades are publicly exposed. Caught as the culprit, Amerie becomes an instant social pariah.
</div>
<p></p>
</div>
<div class="titleCardList--metadataWrapper">
<div class="titleCardList-title">
<span class="titleCard-title_text">Renaissance Titties</span><span><span class="duration ellipsized">50m</span></span>
</div>
<p class="titleCard-synopsis previewModal--small-text"></p>
<div class="ptrack-content">
Amerie, the new outcast, receives a party invitation that gives her butterflies. But when she manages to show up, a bitter surprise awaits.
</div>
<p></p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
As you can see, elements with class titleCard-synopsis have no children with class ptrack-content.

Google script code formatted,colored and beautiful indent

I wrote a container-bound script and now want to make a report from it, by inserting the code into a Google Docs file. The problem is that with copy & paste from the Script Editor, the code is no longer colored or indented. I will need your help because I don't know how to make it well done.
I have this code :
createAndSendDocument() {
// Create a new Google Doc named 'Hello, world!'
var doc = DocumentApp.create('Hello, world!');
// Access the body of the document, then add a paragraph.
doc.getBody().appendParagraph('This document was created by Google Apps Script.');
// Get the URL of the document.
var url = doc.getUrl(); // Get the email address of the active user - that's you.
var email = Session.getActiveUser().getEmail();
}
As tehhowch said you'll need to write your own javascript code to do syntax formatting and then use the output of that.
You can use this https://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_syntax_highlight they already have the script in place you only need to encode your html and put inside div id="myDiv" and run the javascript code.
<div id="myDiv">
Your encoded html goes here
</div>
Example
<div id="myDiv">
<!DOCTYPE html><br>
<html><br>
<body><br>
<br>
<h1>Testing an HTML Syntax Highlighter</h2><br>
<p>Hello world!</p><br>
<a href="https://www.w3schools.com">Back to School</a><br>
<br>
</body><br>
</html>
</div>
Make sure you first encode your html. [< -> &lt, > -> &gt, etc]
Then you can use the output of that . Sample : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h8oDOZ0ReTgwxnYt2JKflHWJdlianSWWuBgbWcSdJC0/edit?usp=sharing

DebugElement.query does not work with elements added dynamically to the dom in a spec

I have an app that is using ngx-bootstrap to show a tooltip on mouseover. I want to test that the content, which is dynamically added, shows properly. In order to do this I have a test that looks like this:
it(shows the right tooltip', fakeAsync(() => {
fixture.debugElement.query(By.directive(TooltipDirective))
.triggerEventHandler('mouseover', null);
tick();
fixture.detectChanges();
expect(fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('.tooltip-inner')).nativeElement)
.toBe('the tooltip text');
}
This results in an error that indicates that fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('.tooltip-inner')): "Cannot read property 'nativeElement' of null"
If I print out the content of fixture.debugElement.nativeElement I get this:
<div id="root1" ng-version="5.2.9">
<my-component>
<div ng-reflect-tooltip="the tooltip text">
<img src="images/test.png">
</div>
<bs-tooltip-container role="tooltip" class="tooltip in tooltip-right">
<div class="tooltip-arrow arrow"></div>
<div class="tooltip-inner">the tooltip text</div>
</bs-tooltip-container>
<my-component>
</div>
The important take away is that the html exists - it is just not accessible by the DebugElement.query.
My current solution to get the spec passing is to change the expect to:
expect(fixture.debugElement.nativeElement.textContent.trim())
.toBe('the tooltip text');
This works, but it is a hack that will fall to pieces if I run into a similar situation with multiple tooltips (for example). Has anyone been able to handle this in a better way? Am I not setting this spec up correctly?

Cgi C program return value to main HTML and display result

I am programming a server side script on an Apache machine with cgi. I am using C for the cgi programming. I am a total noob and learning from online examples(I must say except the basics I didn't come across more web sources for detailed learning!).
I am having a simple HTML page where the username(input) is added to a list which is a file I have in my system and then the updated list should be displayed in the SAME PAGE.
I am not able to "print" the results of both the script and http link on the same page so therefore in the code below, you will only see buttons. Please help.
Here is what I have:
Html:
<html>
<head><title>Home</title></head>
<body>
<h1>REGISTER</h1>
<form action= "/cgi-bin/mycgi.cgi" name ="create user" method ="get">
Enter name:<input type="text" name="user">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="add">
</form>
<FORM action="http://localhost:8000/getusers/" method="get">
<P>
<input value="Display Users" type="submit">
</P>
</FORM>
</body>
Here is the cgi Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main(){
char *tmpStr;
char *user;
printf("Content-Type:text/html\n\n");
printf("<html><head><title></title></head><body>");
tmpStr = getenv("QUERY_STRING");
while(tmpStr && *tmpStr != '='){
tmpStr++;
}
user = tmpStr+1,
printf("Adding %s to User Database",user);
//system("wget http://localhost:8000/newuser/");//call script to add user?
printf("</body></html>");
return 0;//return user?
}
Could you please tell me how I can realize these? How can I display the user list without opening a new html site? Also in the above C code, I have to call the link "http://localhost:8000/newuser/" which returns a success or failure value. How can I return it to the parent form?
Thanks.
You could add an iframe to your html:
<iframe id="theiframe" name="theiframe"></iframe>
And then setting the target of your form to the iframe:
<form action= "/cgi-bin/mycgi.cgi" name ="create user" method ="get" target="theiframe">
Anyway, it is not clear to me if the updated list should be displayed when you click on the first or second button.

JavaScript .innerHTMLworking only when called manually

I've got a very simple function, of replacing the innerHTML of a element. I've been trying to debug this for hours but simply can't, and it's infuriating.
When called from a button press the JavaScript (as follows) works well, but when called from another function it doesn't work. I am totally lost as to why this might be, and its a fairly core part of my app
// This loaded function in my actual code is a document listener
// checking for when Cordova is loaded which then calls the loaded function
loaded();
function loaded() {
alert("loaded");
changeText();
}
function changeText() {
alert("started");
document.getElementById('boldStuff').innerHTML = 'Fred Flinstone';
}
Button press and HTML to replace
<div id="main">
<input type='button' onclick='changeText()' value='Change Text'/>
<p>Change this text >> <b id='boldStuff'> THIS TEXT</b> </p>
</div>
It is also here in full on JSFiddle
You are already changed the innerHTML by calling the function loaded(); on onLoad.
Put this in an empty file and same as .html and open with browser and try. I have commented the function loaded();. Now it will be changed in onclick.
<div id="main">
<input type='button' onclick='changeText();' value='Change Text'/>
<p>Change this text >> <b id='boldStuff'> THIS TEXT</b> </p>
</div>
<script>
//loaded();
function loaded() {
alert("loaded");
changeText();
}
function changeText() {
alert("started");
document.getElementById('boldStuff').innerHTML = 'Fred Flinstone';
}
</script>
The problem here is, that the element you're trying to manipulate is not yet existing when you are calling the changeText() function.
To ensure that the code is only executed after the page has finished loading (and all elements are in place) you can use the onload handler on the body element like this:
<body onload="loaded();">
Additionally you should know, that it's very bad practice to manipulate values by using the innerHTML property. The correct way is to use DOM Manipulations, maybe this can help you.
You script loads before the element (boldStuff) is loaded,
Test Link - 1 - Put the js in a seperate file
Test Link - 2 - put the js at the very end, before closing the <body>
