I have a problem with the manage preferences link

I addes this tag {% manage_preferences %} to the text, then in the preview it shows like this:

    @arg Ah, the reason for that is the {% manage_preferences %} tag renders more than just the URL in HTML. 

    Try this one instead and see if that works:

    {% manage_preferences_link %}

    Hi @arg, welcome to the community.

    It seems like you might have some open HTML tag before the “Manage Preference” that might be causing that.  Can you paste the entire HTML source of that text block so we can have a look?

    Hi, is there a way to fully test the preferences link before sending out the email? I did a test and it only showed me the placeholder page and I want to see what the page looks like before sending the email.

    Thank you!
