Email body Section

The <body> section is where you insert the HTML and/or text containers for the main content of the Email message, according to what you have selected in the Preferred_content element. It is used if:

You do not want to use the defaults of the Email group defined by the Newsletter tag in Common sections and elementsand:
You do not use the template_from_campaign_id element

The <body> section is:

A child of the Email message section
Only used together with the <preferred_content> element
Positioned after the <preferred_content> element, within the Message section of the XML instructions file

The <body> section includes the following children:

Child	Type	Description	Use
html	element	Container for the HTML content of the Email. Requires `rich_text` or `both` to be defined in the `<preferred_content>` element.	Use `<html>` and/or `<text>`
text	element	Container for the plain text content of the Email. Requires `simple_text` or `both` to be defined in the `<preferred_content>` element.	Use `<html>` and/or `<text>`

Use

Note:

If you choose to use the template_from_campaign_id element, the body details are populated from there. You should not include a <body> section or a <preferred_content> element in your instructions file.

Ensure that the content of the <body> section matches the content type in the <preferred_content> element. For example, if the <preferred_content> element is set to simple_text, the body section can only include the <text> child. Otherwise, XMLDelivery returns an error message.

Example:

    <preferred_content>both</preferred_content>
    <body>
        <html>
            See the HTML and text section topic.
        </html>
        <text>
            See the HTML and text section topic.
        </text>
    </body>
