          $content_title = $translated_entity->getTitle();
          $url_alias = \Drupal::service('pathauto.alias_cleaner')
            ->cleanString($content_title);
          $content_link = <<<link
    <a href='/publications/$url_alias'>$url_alias</a>
    link;
          $params['node_title'] = 'Chaire ANMT – Nouvelle Publication : ' . $entity->label() . '';
          $params['message'] = <<<msg
    Nouvelle publication : $content_title $content_link. \n
    msg;
//some code
  $result = $mailManager->mail($module, $key, $subscriber, $langcode, $params, null, $send);

The email generated do not place the link next to the content title. How to fix that?

That is expected, when the Drupal mail back-end that comes with Drupal, implemented by the PhpMail class, is used. In fact, its format() method contains the following code.

  // Join the body array into one string.
  $message['body'] = implode("\n\n", $message['body']);

  // Convert any HTML to plain-text.
  $message['body'] = MailFormatHelper::htmlToText($message['body']);

  // Wrap the mail body for sending.
  $message['body'] = MailFormatHelper::wrapMail($message['body']);

MailFormatHelper::htmlToText() is the method that changes the HTML markup as you see.

The only way to avoid that is to use a different mail back-end or implement one in a custom module.

For Drupal 9.4/10, I would say that is the [Drupal Symfony Mailer](https://www.drupal.org/project/symfony_mailer) module. I have never used it, but its [documentation page](https://www.drupal.org/docs/contributed-modules/drupal-symfony-mailer) says it fully supports HTML mails.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
