Can't Update HTML Emails

I was told this was a known error about being able to copy and paste HTML into the email editor all at once. So I started to do it in chunks, and now I can't even add one line or one word.

Please help. This has to get resolved or we not going to have a choice put to look elsewhere for this service.

NOTE: 500 Error - Please retry later

   Hi John --

   The attached isn't HTML, would you mind attaching the HTML that you are trying to add?

   Thank you.

   If you open the file, it is written in HTML.

   Hi John --

   I'm sorry for the misunderstanding on my part, but when I open the file in my text editor, it still appears to not be written in HTML.

   I just re-saved it as HTML. See if that helps.

   Hi John --

   That helped. Just to verify, you're attempting to overwrite what is currently in your "Payment Receipt" HTML template with the script that you just sent, is that correct? I'm asking because I am going to attempt to do the same on my end and see if the response is replicated.

   Hi John -- Unfortunately when an error is fatal, like a syntax error, you'll see that 500 error and we have to dig into our logs to find it for you. In this case, its:

   unclosed {if} tag

   I'm guessing that's on the ccCompany line. Providing better error reporting in cases like this is on our todo list. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to ask for help if this comes up again.

   Yes, but because I can't copy the entire document I am forced to add line, by line. So I am trying to add {if $subscription.ccCompany} <br> under {$subscription.ccFirstName} {$subscription.ccLastName}<br> and I keep getting the 500 error.

   Can you please just add the document to your system?

    Hi John -- You'll need to close that {if} statement. Maybe something like this:

    <table WIDTH="100%">
        <tr>
            <td align="left" valign="top">
            <p><b>SmartFile</b><br>
            212 W. 10th St. C400<br>
            Indianapolis, IN 46202<br>
            </td>
            <td align="right" valign="top">
                <font size="4"><b>RECEIPT</b>
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td colspan="2">
                <b>Site Address:</b>  {$product.code}<br>
                <b>Billing Email:</b>   {$customer.email}
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td colspan="2"><hr></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td align="left" valign="top">
                <b>Invoice #</b> {$invoice.invoiceNumber}
            </td>
            <td align="right" valign="top">
                <b>{$invoice.billingDatetime}</b>
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td colspan="2"><hr></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td colspan="2">
                <p>
                    <b>Billed To:</b><br>
                    {$subscription.ccFirstName} {$subscription.ccLastName}<br>
                    {if $subscription.ccCompany}{$subscription.ccCompany}<br>{/if}
                    {$subscription.ccAddress}<br>
                    {$subscription.ccCity}, {$subscription.ccState} {$subscription.ccZip}
                </p>
    
                <p>
                    Credit Card Info:  {$subscription.ccType|upper} ***{$subscription.ccLastFour}
                </p>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </table>
