Hi All,
We have a number of boards that I would like to generate reports from. These need to be in table format for ease of readability.
I can generate the correct markdown to format the report as a table but they render incorrectly due to the removal or addition of extra spaces in the output email.
here are a couple of examples with test data;
Input to the send an email notification message box:
| Syntax | Description | Test Text |
| :--- | :----: | ---: |
| Header | Title | Text |
Output in the email::
| Syntax | Description | Test Text | | :--- | :----: | ---: | | Header | Title | Text |
white space removed!
AND
Input to the send an email notification message box:
| Syntax | Description | Test Text | \n
| :--- | :----: | ---: | \n
| Header | Title | Text | \n\n
Output in the email:
| Syntax | Description | Test Text |
| :--- | :----: | ---: |
| Header | Title | Text |
Extra line breaks added!
I have tried lots of other variations too and nothing seems to work. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance
Tosh
@Tosh Brown @Michel Valstar if you want them in a table format you might be better exporting either as CSV (if you have business class and the default export format suits you), or using a power up like Board Export from Adaptavist, or Blue Cat reports.
Alternatively, you can write your own reports using the API. There's a good baseline for this using Google Apps Script published here:

Or you could use Trellinator, here's a basic example:

You can read more about Trellinator here:
I had a similar problem while creating a report that made an unordered (bullet point) list of cards. For some reason, after the first card to be reported on in the list, every next card was double-indented in the bullet list, indicating two white space characters. No matter what I try, I can't seem to get rid of this mystery white space that is added.
