This article mainly introduces the use of HTML to write simple email templates. The author advocates minimalism... You can first look at the finished template introduced in the link at the end of the article. Friends who need it can refer to it
Today, I want to write about a "low-tech" question.
By the way, I have subscribed to a lot of newsletters (Newsletters), such as JavaScript Weekly. Get a weekly email with the big stories of the week.
One day, I was thinking, can I also make an email like this?
Then, I found that it was not that easy. Putting aside the background and editing work, just designing an Email template requires a lot of thought.
Because this kind of formatted email is actually a web page, its official name is HTML Email. Whether it displays properly depends entirely on the mail client. Most email clients (such as Outlook and Gmail) filter HTML settings, making emails unrecognizable.
I found that the trick to writing HTML emails is to use the web page creation method from 15 years ago. Below is the writing guide I put together.
1. Doctype
At present, the most compatible Doctype is XHTML 1.0 Strict. In fact, Gmail and Hotmail will delete your Doctype and replace it with this Doctype .
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>HTML Email编写指南</title> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/> </head> </html>
Using this Doctype means that HTML5 syntax cannot be used.
2. Layout
The layout of the web page must use a table. First, place a large outermost table to set the background.
<body style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"> <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td> Hello! </td> </tr> </table> </body>
The border attribute of the table is equal to 1 for the convenience of development. When officially released, set this attribute to 0.
In the inner layer, place the second table. Used to display content. The width of the second table is set to 600 pixels to prevent it from exceeding the client's display width.
<table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="600" style="border-collapse: collapse;"> <tr> <td> Row 1 </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Row 2 </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Row 3 </td> </tr> </table>
The email content has several parts, so just set a few rows.
3. Pictures
Pictures are the only external resources that can be quoted. Other external resources, such as style sheet files, font files, video files, etc., cannot be quoted.
Some clients will add borders to image links, and the borders need to be removed.
img {outline:none; text-decoration:none; -ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;} a img {border:none;} <img border="0" style="max-width:90%" alt="How to write email templates using HTML" >
It should be noted that many clients do not display images by default (such as Gmail), so make sure that the main content can be read even without images.
4. Inline style
It is best to use inline style for all CSS rules. Because the styles placed in the head of the web page are likely to be deleted by the client. For client support for CSS rules, please see here.
In addition, do not use the abbreviation form of CSS, some clients do not support it. For example, don’t write it like this:
style="font: 8px/14px Arial, sans-serif;"
If you want to express
<p style="margin: 1em 0;">
, write it like this:
<p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0;">
5. W3C Checksum Testing Tool
It is necessary to ensure that the final code can pass W3C verification, because some clients will strip off unqualified attributes. Also use the test tools (1, 2, 3) to see the display results on different clients.
When sending HTML Email, don’t forget that the MIME type cannot be used
Content-Type: text/plain;
. Instead, use
Content-Type: Multipart/Alternative;
. For sending tools, consider using MailChimp and Campaign Monitor.
6. Template
It is a good choice to use templates that others have already made (here and here), and you can find more online.
If you develop it yourself, you can refer to HTML Email Boilerplate and Emailology.

本篇文章带大家了解一下HTML(超文本标记语言),介绍一下HTML的本质,HTML文档的结构、HTML文档的基本标签和图像标签、列表、表格标签、媒体元素、表单,希望对大家有所帮助!

不算。html是一种用来告知浏览器如何组织页面的标记语言,而CSS是一种用来表现HTML或XML等文件样式的样式设计语言;html和css不具备很强的逻辑性和流程控制功能,缺乏灵活性,且html和css不能按照人类的设计对一件工作进行重复的循环,直至得到让人类满意的答案。

总结了一些web前端面试(笔试)题分享给大家,本篇文章就先给大家分享HTML部分的笔试题(附答案),大家可以自己做做,看看能答对几个!

HTML5中画布标签是“<canvas>”。canvas标签用于图形的绘制,它只是一个矩形的图形容器,绘制图形必须通过脚本(通常是JavaScript)来完成;开发者可利用多种js方法来在canvas中绘制路径、盒、圆、字符以及添加图像等。

html5废弃了dir列表标签。dir标签被用来定义目录列表,一般和li标签配合使用,在dir标签对中通过li标签来设置列表项,语法“<dir><li>列表项值</li>...</dir>”。HTML5已经不支持dir,可使用ul标签取代。

在html中,document是文档对象的意思,代表浏览器窗口的文档;document对象是window对象的子对象,所以可通过“window.document”属性对其进行访问,每个载入浏览器的HTML文档都会成为Document对象。

html5支持boolean值属性;boolean值属性指是属性值为true或者false的属性,如input元素中的disabled属性,不使用该属性表示值为flase,不禁用元素,使用该属性可以不设置属性值表示值为true,禁用元素。

mPDF
mPDF is a PHP library that can generate PDF files from UTF-8 encoded HTML. The original author, Ian Back, wrote mPDF to output PDF files "on the fly" from his website and handle different languages. It is slower than original scripts like HTML2FPDF and produces larger files when using Unicode fonts, but supports CSS styles etc. and has a lot of enhancements. Supports almost all languages, including RTL (Arabic and Hebrew) and CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean). Supports nested block-level elements (such as P, DIV),
