Format {email_order_items_table}

Yes,

That is possible by editing the file /woocommerce/templates/emails/plain/email-order-items.php

And adding the following code on line 39:

echo '----------------';

That way there be a line separation between the items in the receipt.

If you want to add space instead line separation you can add the following code on line 39 of the above file:

echo '\n'

This seems to work if i put this in twice do i get a bigger space?

If you want this dashed line and additional space add

echo '\n';
echo '----------------';
echo '\n';

\n stands for new line

But make a copy of this file as if you update woocommerce it will be rewritten.

Then you should copy it again.

try

echo “\r\n”;
echo ‘—————-‘;
echo “\r\n”;

will this also fix the way the list is broken up? if you notice the product gets seperated from its options

No, the above will add lines both between product and options.

you can also try adding

‘after’ => ‘\n’,

on line 48 of email-order-items.php

This specifies what will show up after the product options

these two lines cause a checkout error

echo “\r\n”;
echo “\r\n”;

this is not resolved FYI

ADD

‘after’ => “\n ———— \n”,

the above will add a line after the product options

I am also trying to use additional line spaces between Orders using WOO INSTANT NOTIFICATIONS.

Using your code addition:

echo “\r\n”;
echo ‘—————-‘;
echo “\r\n”;

Caused a fault on checkout submission for me too.

But using the following did not:

echo ‘—————-‘;

The printout in plain text displays as shown below… (unfortunately with the divide line ______ in an odd place).

Telephone Order

FOOD ITEMS:
Jerk Jackfruit & Grilled Pineapple X 1 = ￡6.50

Ploughmans. Cheese, Ham Pickle, Lettuce, Apple, Boiled Egg, Gherkin X

The “add on” food items ie: ‘- Choose your topping:: Jacket Potato’ (created by Advanced Product Fields for WooCommerce Plug-in) display with the second item….

FYI:
The generic Woocommerce email displays properly like this:

Jerk Jackfruit & Grilled Pineapple × 1

Choose your topping: Jacket Potato￡ 6.50
________________________________________________________________________
Ploughmans. Cheese, Ham Pickle, Lettuce, Apple, Boiled Egg, Gherkin × 1

Choose your boat: Wraps ￡7.00

So woo commerce email format knows where the divide __________ between orders should be. But not Woo Instant Notifications. Not really that customizable as yet

Problem resolved at my end with some tweaking of the above code!

Editing this file:

/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/emails/plain/email-order-items.php

I used the code below and inserted it into line 63 (at the bottom of the plain text template) and left the rest of the file untouched (as installed).

echo “\r\n”;
echo “——————————”;
echo “\r\n”;

And here is the result on printout:

**************************
Number: #2329,

FOOD ITEMS:
BBQ Lamb & Mint Burger X 1 = ￡4.50
Peas Choice: mushy
——————————
BBQ Lamb & Mint Burger X 1 = ￡4.50
Peas Choice: garden
——————————
BBQ Lamb & Mint Burger X 1 = ￡4.50
Peas Choice: none
——————————
Euca Hill Chardonnay 750ml X 1 = ￡10.00

Hope that helps someone else needing a bit more clarity between order lines!
