[DONE] Preview linked docs

When I add a link to documentation in the forum, you see this embedded in the post :

Any chance it could show a snippet of the target? Nothing there encourages clicking it, if anything it just looks like an advert for Anvil.

That specific example in the screenshot above is from this post, where I linked to the Radio Buttons docs. :

Reset radio buttons

Radio buttons have a selected property, which takes a boolean value. Just set them to False. For example : my_radio_button.selected = False If you have several, you can go round in a loop. For example (pseudocode - untested) : for rb in container.get_components(): if type(rb) is RadioButton: rb.selected = False Something like that.

Now fixed! Eg:

User Interfaces and Client Code

This looks good in the forum, but I just received a notification email about another post with a link to the documentation, and the post that looks good in the forum looks ugly in the email.

I don’t know if it’s an Outlook thing, or it’s something you can fix on your side.

This is how I see this post in Outlook:

Outlook’s email parser is widely hated by any company that sends email
The emails come from Discourse, so I’m afraid there’s not a lot we can do about it…

And by me.

My apps often send an email with a simplified version of the info I want to show, so Outlook doesn’t panic. The email also contain a “see this in the app” link that opens the app and shows the same content the way I want it.
