I am working on customizing the promotion request workflow to automatically include a simple HTML table with the promotion objects listed in the email notifications. The logic in the workflow seems to be okay, and the debug statements look fine in the method server log, but the actual email that gets sent out has all of the table row tags (<tr> and </tr>) stripped from it.
I've tried sending emails to both internal and external users and it didn't make any difference. Any idea why this might be happening?
Workflow Expression:
String style = "style=\"border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px\"";
promotion_objects = "<table style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #464646; font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif,Segoe UI,tahoma; border-collapse: collapse\">\r\n";
wt.maturity.StandardMaturityService p = new wt.maturity.StandardMaturityService();
wt.maturity.PromotionNotice pn =(wt.maturity.PromotionNotice)primaryBusinessObject;
wt.fc.QueryResult pn_targets;
pn_targets = (wt.fc.QueryResult) p.getBaselineItems(pn);
wt.epm.EPMDocument epmDoc = new wt.epm.EPMDocument();
while (pn_targets.hasMoreElements())
{
Object obj =pn_targets.nextElement();
String objType =obj.getClass().getName();
if (objType.equals("wt.epm.EPMDocument"))
{
epmDoc = (wt.epm.EPMDocument)obj;
System.out.println("state = " + epmDoc.getState().toString());
System.out.println("number = " + epmDoc.getNumber().toString());
System.out.println("cadname = " + epmDoc.getCADName());
promotion_objects = (promotion_objects + "<tr>\r\n");
promotion_objects = (promotion_objects + "<td " + style + ">" + epmDoc.getNumber().toString() + "</td>\r\n");
promotion_objects = (promotion_objects + "<td " + style + ">" + epmDoc.getState().toString() + "</td>\r\n");
promotion_objects = (promotion_objects + "<td " + style + ">" + epmDoc.getCADName() + "</td>\r\n");
promotion_objects = (promotion_objects + "</tr>\r\n");
}
}
promotion_objects = (promotion_objects + "</table>");
System.out.println(promotion_objects);
From the method server log:
state = INWORK number = COOLING_DUCT.ASM cadname = cooling_duct.asm state = INWORK number = CREO_INLBS_SOLID.PRT cadname = creo_inlbs_solid.prt state = INWORK number = CREO_DEFAULT_INLBSEC.PRT cadname = creo_default_inlbsec.prt state = INWORK number = DAYTON_THREAD_FORM_MATRIX.PRT cadname = dayton_thread_form_matrix.prt <table style="font-size: 14px; color: #464646; font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif,Segoe UI,tahoma; border-collapse: collapse"> <tr> <td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px">COOLING_DUCT.ASM</td> <td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px">INWORK</td> <td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px">cooling_duct.asm</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px">CREO_INLBS_SOLID.PRT</td> <td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px">INWORK</td> <td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px">creo_inlbs_solid.prt</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px">CREO_DEFAULT_INLBSEC.PRT</td> <td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px">INWORK</td> <td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px">creo_default_inlbsec.prt</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px">DAYTON_THREAD_FORM_MATRIX.PRT</td> <td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px">INWORK</td> <td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px">dayton_thread_form_matrix.prt</td> </tr> </table> line 1 column 1 - Warning: plain text isn't allowed in <head> elements line 26 column 1 - Warning: inserting missing 'title' element InputStream: Document content looks like HTML 4.01 Transitional 2 warnings, no errors were found!

Thank you for the link. Using that information I was able to make it work. 
It wasn't that I was using unsupported tags but rather that Windchill is choosing to strip <tr> tags that aren't placed inside a <tbody> block.
<table style="font-size: 14px;border-collapse: collapse;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px;">COOLING_DUCT.ASM</td>
<td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px;">INWORK</td>
<td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px;">cooling_duct.asm</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px;">CREO_INLBS_SOLID.PRT</td>
<td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px;">INWORK</td>
<td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px;">creo_inlbs_solid.prt</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px;">CREO_DEFAULT_INLBSEC.PRT</td>
<td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px;">INWORK</td>
<td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px;">creo_default_inlbsec.prt</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px;">DAYTON_THREAD_FORM_MATRIX.PRT</td>
<td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px;">INWORK</td>
<td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px;">dayton_thread_form_matrix.prt</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
This is kind of odd because the <tbody> block is normally considered optional. Oh well. Thank you!
Now on to the next question - how to access revision, iteration, and url for EPM Documents.
