HTML

For HTML, place the desired tags around the text that you wish to modify.

Common elements:

Desired Element	HTML Code
Span	<span>content</span>
A span is used to select a range of text for styling with CSS.
Paragraph block	<p>content</p>
Paragraphs will provide an additional line break after the closing tag.
Line break	<br /> or <br>
The line break does not have a closing tag, but rather includes the closing marker within the opening tag. A line Break is the equivalent of pressing the [ENTER] key on your keyboard.

Lists:

Lists come in two types: ordered (numbers) and unordered (bullets).

Desired Element	HTML Code
Ordered list	<ol>list items</ol>
Unordered list	<ul>list items</ul>
List item	<li>content</li>

Example unordered list

<ul>
	<li>Entry 1</li>
	<li>Entry 2</li>
</ul>

We recommend that you use one of the options provided.You can use specific fonts, but it will require that font to be installed on the computer or device of the person viewing the email or page.
