aerc-templates(7) # NAME aerc-templates - template file specification for *aerc*(1) # SYNOPSIS aerc uses the go "text/template" package for the template parsing. Refer to the go text/template documentation for the general syntax. Template files are composed of headers, followed by a newline, followed by the body text. Example: ``` X-Clacks-Overhead: GNU Terry Pratchett Hello, Greetings, Chuck ``` If you have a template that doesn't add any header, it *must* be preceded by a newline, to avoid parsing parts of the body as header text. # MESSAGE DATA The following data can be used in templates. Though they are not all available always. *Addresses* An array of mail.Address. That can be used to add sender or recipient names to the template. - From: List of senders. - To: List of To recipients. Not always Available. - Cc: List of Cc recipients. Not always Available. - Bcc: List of Cc recipients. Not always Available. - OriginalFrom: List of senders of the original message. Available for quoted reply and forward. Example: Get the name of the first sender. ``` {{(index .From 0).Name}} ``` Get the email address of the first sender. ``` {{(index .From 0).Address}} ``` *Date and Time* The date and time information is always available and can be easily formatted. - Date: Date and Time information when the compose window is opened. - OriginalDate: Date and Time when the original message of received. Available for quoted reply and forward. To format the date fields, _dateFormat_ and _toLocal_ are provided. Refer to the _TEMPLATE FUNCTIONS_ section for details. *Subject* The subject of the email is available for quoted reply and forward. {{.Subject}} *MIME Type* MIME Type is available for quoted reply and forward. - OriginalMIMEType: MIME type info of quoted mail part. Usually "text/plain" or "text/html". *Original Message* When using quoted reply or forward, the original message is available in a field called ".OriginalText". ``` {{.OriginalText}} ``` # TEMPLATE FUNCTIONS Besides the standard functions described in go's text/template documentation, aerc provides the following additional functions: *wrap* Wrap the original text to the specified number of characters per line. ``` {{wrap 72 .OriginalText}} ``` *quote* Prepends each line with "> ". ``` {{quote .OriginalText}} ``` *exec* Execute external command, provide the second argument to its stdin. ``` {{exec `/usr/local/share/aerc/filters/html` .OriginalText}} ``` *toLocal* Convert the date to the local timezone as specified by the locale. ``` {{toLocal .Date}} ``` *dateFormat* Format date and time according to the format passed as the second argument. The format must be specified according to go's time package format. ``` {{dateFormat .Date "Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 -0700 MST 2006"}} ``` *version* Returns the version of aerc, which can be useful for things like X-Mailer. ``` X-Mailer: aerc {{version}} ``` *Function chaining* All of the template functions can be chained together if needed. Example: Automatic HTML parsing for text/html mime type messages ``` {{if eq .OriginalMIMEType "text/html"}} {{exec `/usr/local/share/aerc/filters/html` .OriginalText | wrap 72 | quote}} {{else}} {{wrap 72 .OriginalText | quote}} {{end}} ``` # SEE ALSO *aerc*(1) *aerc-config*(5) # AUTHORS Maintained by Drew DeVault <sir@cmpwn.com>, who is assisted by other open source contributors.
