We use HTML emails within Registration so we can have hyperlinks. We've edited the HTML to provide paragraph spacing we want; however, we can't figure out how to get the name, username, and email address to display on separate lines. Those are called with the [DETAILS] code, but we've been unable to find where that is formatted. We would expect to find \n, \r, or \rn for plain text line breaks that we could substitute with <br />; however, we just can't find what file or Trigger or database table/column [DETAILS] is located in.

Or is there some easy way (Auto Actions? Overrides?) that could achieve what we want.

Thanks.

You can use substitutions within the registration emails. See the below tutorial regarding substitution usage information.

Thanks for the information; however, I had seen that tutorial and could not figure out how to make use of it when using the pre-formatted "field" of [DETAILS]. So, what I've done is not use [DETAILS] at all but to use each of the fields I wanted displayed and programmed them separately, as follows:

Name: [name]<br />
Username: [username]<br />

Details basically just adds email, username, etc.. substitutions to the email as a bundle so adding those your self will work perfectly fine. As for the preview I don't know why but Kunena goes wonky when you add
Code:
[email]
to your post as I think it's trying to parse it as a BBCode tag. Works fine when placed with a code tag though.
