ContactsLaw supports a number of different formats for the body of a document template. Different formats offer slightly different capabilities.

¹ ContactsLaw creates an insertion point for each form field in the document (using the name assigned in the form). Arbitrary content markers cannot be added. Conditional/repetition blocks are not supported.
² These formats do not use a body. Each template has a fixed set of content markers, which may be of any type.
Attachments
Markdown (.md)
Attachment functionality depends on the output format:
- Email Message (
.eml)- Attachments can be inline or otherwise
- Inline image attachments are only included if they appear within the message body
- Inline Cascading Style Sheet (
.css) attachments are incorporated into the message body - All other inline attachments are ignored
- Markdown (
.md)- All attachments must be inline
- Only images can be attached
- Images link to the DMS App (as they cannot be embedded)
- Microsoft Word (
.docx,.docm,.dotx,.dotm)- All attachments must be inline
- Only images can be attached
Microsoft Word (.docx, .docm, .dotx, .dotm)
Attachment functionality is the same regardless of the output format:
- All attachments must be inline
- Only images can be attached
