Wrap text using input from Google Sheet (Google Apps Script)
Question
I have a script that produces an automated email from cell content in a Google Sheet. Is it possible to restrict the width of a cell's output in the email, forcing the text to wrap? I have tried using textarea tags as follows:
+ <textarea rows="4" cols="20">
+ sheet.getRange(6,9,1,1).getValue()
+ </textarea>
However, this simply outputs as "+ sheet.getRange(6,9,1,1).getValue() +" (ie it doesn't generate the cell content).
Is this possible?
Here's how I have built the script:
function EmailFormConfirmation() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
Utilities.sleep(60000);
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Form responses");
var lock = LockService.getPublicLock();
lock.waitLock(60000);
lock.releaseLock();
var email = sheet.getRange(2,9,1,1).getValue();
var message = "<HTML><BODY>"
+ "<P >Hi "
+ sheet.getRange(4,9,1,1).getValue()
+ ","
etc.
EDIT The below produces the cell content, but doesn't wrap the text.
var htmlMsg = "<HTML><BODY>"
+ "<textarea rows='4' cols='10'>"
+ sheet.getRange(6,9,1,1).getValue()
+ "</textarea>"
+ "</HTML></BODY>";
MailApp.sendEmail(email, "LMI Request", "", {htmlBody: htmlMsg});

To respond to the question re: textbox, the following did as you requested
var htmlMsg = "<HTML><BODY>"
+ "<textarea rows='4' cols='20'>"
+ sheet.getRange(6,9,1,1).getValue()
+ "</textarea>"
+ "</BODY></HTML>";
GmailApp.sendEmail("m....l@gmail.com", "subject","hi" , {htmlBody: htmlMsg});
note how the single and double quotes are used.

Here is an example of how you can use templates to build your email responses. The documentation can be found here: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/html/templates
In code.gs
function myFunction(){
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp .....
var value = sheet.getRange(6,9,1,1).getValue();
var emailHtml = buildTemplate(value);
GmailApp.sendEmail("person@example.com", "subject","Hello", {htmlBody: emailHtml});
}
function buildTemplate(values){
var template = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('emailTemplate');
template.tmpValues = values;
return template.evaluate().getContent();
}
in emailTemplate.html
<html>
<body>
<textarea rows='4' cols='20'>
<?=tmpValues?>
</textarea>
</body>
</html>
