To provide alternative content for your email, you could use Conditional Content (see "Showing
content conditionally" on page 167), or Snippets and a script (see "Snippets" on page 216 and
"Loading a snippet via a script" on page 205).
If you would like to start with a template that is identical to the one you already have, consider
copying it (see "Copying a section" on page 212).
To add a section to the Email context:
l
On the Resources pane, expand the Contexts folder, right-click the Email folder, and
then click New Email.
Deleting an Email template
To delete an Email section:
l
On the Resources pane, expand the Contexts folder, expand the Email context, right-
click the name of the section, and then click Delete.
Warning
No backup files are maintained in the template. The only way to recover a deleted
section, is to click Undo on the Edit menu, until the deleted section is restored. After
closing and reopening the template it is no longer possible to restore the deleted context
this way.
Styling and formatting an Email template
The contents of an Email section can be formatted directly, or styled with Cascading Style
Sheets (CSS). See "Styling and formatting" on page 217.
Email clients do not read CSS files and some even remove a <style> tag when it is present in
the email's header. Nevertheless, CSS files can be used with the Email context in the
Designer. When generating output from the Email context, the Designer converts all CSS rules
that apply to the content of the email to inline style tags, as if local formatting was applied.
