Building HTML emails without <tables>
I'm trying to create an email template using a number of common style components, but without the use of any layout tables.
- 600px centered container
- Heading tags
- Paragraph tags
- Images
- Nested section with different width and background
- Multi column layout
- Ordered and Unordered lists
- Divider line
- CTA button
- Additional container outside of the main container
The main issue here is that Outlook doesn't render HTML or CSS correctly as they user Microsoft Word as a rendering engine. However I believe we can manipulate Outlook into working with a <div> based layout using mos- code.
Realy example Litmus sent out their monthly newsletter using this technique.
