I'm creating a Python script to create a HTML document with the message containing HTML code in triple quotes. How would I go about formatting some of the text inside the triple quote?
I figured it out with a simple solution.
I exit the triple quotes with triple quotes then added my variables by using + "{}".format(row[0]) + then re adding triple quotes to continue the string.
mess with single and double quotes and escaping... at least in python 3
a <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">""" \'hello\' said "the \"parrot\" """</SPAN> <SPAN class="keyword token">print</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>a<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'hello'</SPAN> said <SPAN class="string token">"the "</SPAN>parrot" a <SPAN class="string token">' \'hello\' said "the "parrot" '</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
but if you want to keep the triple quotes then you have to single quote the triple quotes so that they appear but not affect the escaped quotes…
a <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'""" \'hello\' said "the \"parrot\" """'</SPAN> <SPAN class="keyword token">print</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>a<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">""" 'hello' said "the "parrot" """</SPAN> a Out<SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">8</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'""" \'hello\' said "the "parrot" """'</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
simple ehh???
In the Python script below I'm creating an HTML document with a hyperlink to generate an email. How would I use formatting .format(row[0]) in the body section of the email?

did you try some of the suggestions for formatting within the triple quote?
What did your code produce
I tested your suggestions and it still just produces {} in the body of the email.
perhaps you will have to google, …. html email python
I don't think it is just the triple quotes
For example
Sending HTML email using Python - Stack Overflow
I'm really just looking to have an email composed based on a fields from a search cursor using python but I want to be able to send it manually.
a and b would be inputs from your cursor???
Sorry, but maybe Joe Borgione might have had to do email notification or knows someone that does
