l A style sheet, named context_htmlemail_styles.css, and another style sheet depending
on which Template Wizard was used. The style sheets can be found in the Stylesheets
folder on the Resources pane.
The Wizard opens the Email section, so that you can fill it with text and other elements; see
"Content elements" on page128, "Email context" on page115, and "Email templates" on
page117.
Tip
Use the Outline pane at the left to see which elements are present in the template and to
select an element.
Use the Attributes pane at the right to see the current element's ID, class and some other
properties.
Use the Styles pane next to the Attributes pane to see which styles are applied to the
currently selected element.
Note that the contents of the email are arranged in tables. The many tables in an Email
template ensure that the email looks good on virtually any email client, device and screen size.
As the tables have no borders, they are initially invisible.
Tip
Click the Edges button on the toolbar to make borders of elements visible on the Design
tab. The borders will not be visible on the Preview tab.
Email Template Wizards
There are Wizards for three kinds of Email templates: for Basic Email, for Banded Email, and
