Yes, I have had issues with line breaks and spaces when
copy/pasting. Also quotation marks sometimes get screwed up when
copying from how-to's with certain fonts. If things don't work when
copy/pasting, always check line breaks, spaces, and quotation marks.<br>

<div>Just a little gotcha: when copy/paste the guide is offering
line breaks which causes issues. The cat's text:alert line
pastes with a line break and that makes the post look like
code instead of a pretty link/a href. Your shell script
should NOT have a line break after the pipe.</div>

I have since switched to Slack alerts instead of
emails, but those are a <br>
bit more complex. Let me know if you want instructions
for that.<br>
