HTML Email Paragraphs

Paragraphs are essential for readable, scannable content—but default styles often vary or get stripped out in email clients. To keep things consistent, you need to style paragraphs with inline CSS.


✅ Best Practices

  • Always use the <p> tag for blocks of text
  • Use inline styles for font, size, color, and spacing
  • Set margin and line-height manually—many clients reset or ignore them
  • Use clear spacing between blocks to improve readability

💡 Nested Paragraph Tips:

  • Set a line-height of 1.4–1.6 for easy reading
  • The outer table provides structure and padding
  • The inner table ensures content alignment and better client rendering
  • All styles are inline for maximum compatibility across email clients
