The files that you can edit

• static texts for the applicant website: applicant_frontend/src/static.json
• email templates: backend/emails

Warnings:

• In the .json file:
  • The structure should stay exactly the same (same labels)
  • Every text should be in only one line (no breakline allowed in the json format)
  • If you want to format text, use html format
  • For templating, use the same syntax as used {{ something }}.
• In the .pug files :
  • The syntax should respect the .pug syntax defined here pugjs. You can use this tool to test the result pughtml.com
  • The subject.pug is for the subject of the email (use ${something} for templating)
  • The html.pug is for the content of the email (use #{something} for templating)
