HTML Tags

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) tags allow you to format documents for viewing in web browsers, as well as a number of other applications which can interpret HTML, such as email clients.

This is not intended to be a tutorial on HTML; rather, this is to allow you to format the body of emails you set up using the Document Settings function. HTML tags are used in pairs, one opening tag and one closing tag. See the table below for more information.
