[#273](https://github.com/nbarrett/ngx-ramblers/issues/273)\n\n## [build 691](https://github.com/nbarrett/ngx-ramblers/actions/runs/27463649147) — [commit cc5c688](https://github.com/nbarrett/ngx-ramblers/commit/cc5c688a5c83456b835c34908b6f9ee33d9f57b9)\n\n_____\n\n## What's new\n\n### Booking email overrides now use ContentBlockEditor\n\n- Rewrote the per-event email override section in the Bookings admin page to use\nthe same ContentBlockEditor component used by site-level email templates\n- Removed the old markdown editor with override/revert buttons\n- Added section-toggle tabs (Standard / Customise / Leave Out) matching the\nsite-level template editor experience\n- Removed the disabled booking-default-preview showing the raw default text\n- Preview toggle button redesigned with sunrise colour scheme\n- ContentBlockEditor gained new inputs to support this reuse:\n- `omitAllowed` — controls whether the \"Leave out\" tab appears\n- `stateQueryParamKey` — persists the active tab choice in URL query params\n- `frameless` — removes the heading, description, and accordion wrapper for\nan inline editing mode\n- `blockDefaults` — when a block is in DEFAULT state, renders the default\ncontent in a disabled tiptap editor so the admin can see what would be sent\n- MailNotificationTemplateEditor now merges booking block defaults from\nDEFAULT_BOOKING_EMAIL_BLOCKS into the discovered defaults so the disabled\npreview works for booking email types\n\n### Booking merge fields preserved in markdown link URLs\n\n- booking-template-resolver.ts now uses renderMarkdownPreservingTokens instead of\nrenderMarkdownToHtml when resolving booking email body content (default, site\noverride, and per-event override)\n- Merge field placeholders like {{params.bookingMergeFields.EVENT_LINK}}\ninside markdown link URLs are no longer percent-encoded during HTML rendering\n- messages.ts template substitution now runs 3 passes (was 1) to resolve\nparameters that might contain other parameter references\n- Booking merge field values are now included in the test params for the\nwelcome-to-the-group template spec, confirming they resolve correctly\n\n### Booking reminder email uses correct NGX domain link\n\n- booking-reminder-job.ts passes null instead of event.groupEvent?.url for the\nevent link parameter, so publicEventLink() constructs the group's own domain\nURL rather than the Ramblers national URL\n\n### Walk description diff in publish status\n\n- Added LCS-based word diff that compares the transformed website description\nagainst the Ramblers-stored description in toPublishStatus()\n- Words only in the Ramblers version are shown with red strikethrough\n- Words only in the website version are shown in green\n- Output is trusted HTML rendered via [innerHTML] so coloured spans display\n- RamblersEventSummaryResponse interface and the list-events.ts mapper now\ninclude the description field\n\n### CSV export contraction expansion and character cleanup\n\n- replaceSpecialCharacters now:\n- Decodes HTML entities ' / ' back to apostrophes\n- Expands 30+ common contractions via lookup map (don't -> do not, etc.)\n- Strips apostrophes on unrecognised words (possessive forms)\n- Converts & to and (avoids double-encoding by Ramblers CSV import)\n- walkLeader() no longer calls replaceSpecialCharacters so names like\n\"O'Grady\" preserve their apostrophe in the CSV export\n\n### Styling: disabled tiptap editor state\n\n- Added .tiptap-editor-shell-disabled and child classes for a visually distinct\ndisabled appearance\n- Activated via [class.tiptap-editor-shell-disabled]=\"!editable\" on the shell\n\n### Code quality\n\n- Removed unused BrevoButtonComponent imports from\nmail-notification-template-editor.ts and notification-config-selector.ts\n- Added EMAIL_STATE to the StoredValue enum for content block editor state\npersistence\n\n## Test changes\n\n- Added booking merge field fixture (ATTENDEE_NAME, EVENT_TITLE, EVENT_DATE,\nEVENT_LINK, ATTENDEE_LIST, PLACES_COUNT) to messages.spec.ts params\n- Added spec confirming booking merge fields in markdown link URLs are\npreserved during template rendering\n- Updated resolveBookingBody spec to expect HTML rendering and preserved\nmerge field hrefs instead of raw DEFAULT_BOOKING_EMAIL_BLOCKS value\n- template-diff.ts returns booking block defaults as raw trimmed markdown\n(not HTML)\n\n## Ramblers Walks Manager E2E\n\n- DRY: combined disableCookieBannerPermanently, forceDismissCookieBanners,\nand cookieBannerIfVisible into a single dismissCookieBanners() method\n- Updated all call sites (ClickWhenReady, Login, Start, UploadWalks) to use\nthe combined method\n\n## Further fixes\n\n- Section-toggle tabs and Preview button now sit on the same row (removed\nflex-wrap from the container)\n- Preview now refreshes when switching email type tabs while preview is\nactive (made onEmailTypeTabChange async with await Promise.resolve()\nso Angular change detection settles the view before calling preview)\n- Batch-loaded events in loadEvents() using a single all() call with the\nids parameter instead of N+1 individual queryById() calls — cuts\ngroup-event/all requests from N (one per unique event referenced in\nbookings) to 1","contentHtml":"
