You can customize these template strings -without changing the script itself, by defining a Python wrapper -around it. The python wrapper should ``import git_multimail`` and then -override the ``git_multimail.*`` strings like this:: - - import sys # needed for sys.argv - - # Import and customize git_multimail: - import git_multimail - git_multimail.REVISION_INTRO_TEMPLATE = """...""" - git_multimail.COMBINED_INTRO_TEMPLATE = git_multimail.REVISION_INTRO_TEMPLATE - - # start git_multimail itself: - git_multimail.main(sys.argv[1:]) - -The template strings can use any value already used in the existing -templates (read the source code). - -Using HTML in template strings ------------------------------- - -If ``multimailhook.commitEmailFormat`` is set to HTML, then -git-multimail will generate HTML emails for commit notifications. The -log and diff will be formatted automatically by git-multimail. By -default, any HTML special character in the templates will be escaped. - -To use HTML formatting in the introduction of the email, set -``multimailhook.htmlInIntro`` to ``true``. Then, the template can -contain any HTML tags, that will be sent as-is in the email. For -example, to add some formatting and a link to the online commit, use -a format like:: - - git_multimail.REVISION_INTRO_TEMPLATE = """\ - <span style="color:#808080">This is an automated email from the git hooks/post-receive script.</span><br /><br /> - - <strong>%(pusher)s</strong> pushed a commit to %(refname_type)s %(short_refname)s - in repository %(repo_shortname)s.<br /> - - <a href="https://github.com/git-multimail/git-multimail/commit/%(newrev)s">View on GitHub</a>. - """ - -Note that the values expanded from ``%(variable)s`` in the format -strings will still be escaped. - -For a less flexible but easier to set up way to add a link to commit -emails, see ``multimailhook.commitBrowseURL``. - -Similarly, one can set ``multimailhook.htmlInFooter`` and override any -of the ``*_FOOTER*`` template strings. |
