Email editor 2.0: variables in the text version

One limitation of the new text editor; variables are only supported in the HTML version, not is the text one.

So let's say you want to use a variable for the title of the email:

<p style="font-weight: bold; font-size:16px;">${EmailTitle}</p>

This paragraph would just not show up in the text version, meaning that the title you have set in the variable will not shown up in the text version.

    I do the following workaround

    1. embed variables as follows:   a href="${CTA-url}"
    2. use tokens like {{my.CTA url}} and to use inside the variable field
    3. use token like {{my.CTA text}} for the button text
    4. add a HTML invisible mktoText section inside the same module that contains the CTA
      <div class="mktoText" mktoname="CTA Text Only" id="cta-textonly" style="display: none; max-height: 0px; font-size: 0px; overflow: hidden; mso-hide: all">
      {{my.CTA text}} <[[{{my.CTA url}}]]>
      </div>
    5. the Text Only version will pull in {{my.CTA text}} <[[{{my.CTA url}}]]> as a separate line

    Our Email Programs have tokens for every CTA module (of which you will need clones anyhow when using Variables). CTA1 text, CTA1 url, CTA2 text, CTA2 url and so on.....

    If you use a Master Email Program that gets cloned, your fine. We need this anyhow due to several languages we market to.
