Al crear plantillas de correo electrnico personalizadas con el lenguaje de


plantilla de correo electrnico de MailChimp, hay algunas pautas bsicas
que debes seguir. Estas pautas tienen por objeto servir de base para las
mejores prcticas al utilizar el lenguaje de plantilla de MailChimp.

Aplicacin de Estilos CSS


Los diseos de correo electrnico no deben ser ms anchos que 600
pxeles para permitir la visualizacin correcta en diversos clientes de
correo electrnico. La pgina de Soporte CSS en Aplicaciones de Correo
Electrnico (Email Client CSS Support) en nuestra Referencia de Plantilla
(Email Template Reference) proporciona una lista exhaustiva de los
estilos CSS compatibles para diferentes tipos de clientes de correo
electrnico.
Como regla general, evita el uso de la siguiente CSS en tus plantillas:

Flotantes

Posicionamiento

Imgenes de fondo (no funcionan en Microsoft Outlook o en Gmail)

Recuerda configurar la declaracin de @theme en tu CSS para el fondo


de pgina, encabezado, pie de pgina, y espacio de contenido para que
las plantillas se pueden personalizar rpidamente con los temas de color
de MailChimp. Consulta el artculoEstilos de Plantilla para conocer la
sintaxis correcta de los nombres que se pueden utilizar.

Secciones Editables
Limite el nmero de espacios editables en la plantilla para mantener las
cosas simples y nombra a todos los espacios editables de forma
consistente. El nombre que asignas a travs de mc:edit=" nombre" se
utiliza para crear un campo en la base de datos para almacenar
contenido nico. Si cambias las plantillas despus de escribir el
contenido, podras perder la copia si los nombres de espacios editables
no son consistentes. Utiliza las siguientes convenciones para las reas de
contenido comunes. Ver ms ejemplos.

mc:edit="header" se utiliza para denominar el encabezado de tu

correo electrnico.

mc:edit="header_image" se utiliza para denominar una imagen

editable del encabezado.

mc:edit="sidecolumn" se utiliza para denominar una columna

izquierda o derecha editable.

mc:edit="body" se utiliza para denominar el espacio del

contenido principal de tu correo electrnico.

mc:edit="footer" se utiliza para denominar el pie de pgina de

tu correo electrnico.
No debes colocar imgenes editables en un lugar de contenido editable.
Si estas editando secciones ocultables en el Constructor de Campaa
(Campaign Builder) mediante el botn Remove (Eliminar) en tu plantilla,
por favor ten en cuenta que la seccin no desaparecer en la pantalla
del editor, sino que aparecer desvanecida como un marcador de
posicin en caso de que decidas utilizar el espacio. Esa seccin no
aparecer en la campaa que has enviado. Para ver una vista previa de
la campaa, haz clic en Preview and Test (Prever y probar) y luego haz
clic en Preview Mode (Modo de vista preliminar).
Los botones Remove (Eliminar) y Hide this section (Ocultar esta
seccin) no ofrecen la misma funcionalidad en el editor de plantilla
(template editor). De hecho, en realidad no podrs eliminar nada
mientras ests trabajando en el editor de plantilla (template editor). Si
tienes que hacer cambios como ese, te sugerimos que trabajes en el
Constructor de Campaa (Campaign Builder).

Etiquetas Merge (Merge Tags)


Debes ser creativo con el uso de las etiquetas merge.

Usa etiquetas merge para proporcionar a tus suscriptores nuevas

formas de conectarse contigo por Facebook y Twitter y compartir


fcilmente tu contenido.

Utilice la etiqueta merge de la tabla de contenido ( *|MC:TOC|*)

para crear una lista automtica de enlaces para <h1> y </h1><h2>


encabezados en un correo electrnico. </h2>

Puede consultar las Etiquetas merge para tu pie de pgina para

obtener una visin rpida de las etiquetas merge que puedes incluir.
Siempre incluye la informacin CAN-SPAM requerida en el pie de pgina.
De lo contrario, tu campaa podra ser rechazada. Estas etiquetas
requeridas tambin se observan bajoEtiquetas merge para tu pie de
pgina.

*|UNSUB|*

*|LIST:DESCRIPTION|*

*|LIST:ADDRESS|*

Enlaces Externos
Al utilizar enlaces dentro de tu correo electrnico, incluye el
atributo target="_ blank" en tus elementos de anclaje para garantizar
que abran una nueva pestaa o ventana del navegador cuando los
correos electrnicos los ven lo clientes de correo electrnico basados en
un navegador. Haz un esfuerzo por incluir estos enlaces tiles en tu
correo electrnico:

Un enlace para que los usuarios actualicen sus preferencias de

suscripcin:

Web typography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Web fonts allow Web designers to use fonts that are not installed on the viewer's computer.

Web typography refers to the use of fonts on the World Wide Web. When HTML was first
created, font faces and styles were controlled exclusively by the settings of each Web
browser. There was no mechanism for individual Web pages to control font display
until Netscape introduced the <font> tag in 1995, which was then standardized in the
HTML 2 specification. However, the font specified by the tag had to be installed on the
user's computer or a fallback font, such as a browser's default sansserif or monospacefont, would be used. The first Cascading Style Sheets specification was
published in 1996 and provided the same capabilities.
The CSS2 specification was released in 1998 and attempted to improve the font selection
process by adding font matching, synthesis and download. These techniques did not gain

much use, and were removed in the CSS2.1 specification. However, Internet
Exploreradded support for the font downloading feature in version 4.0, released in 1997.
[1] Font downloading was later included in the CSS3 fonts module, and has since been
implemented in Safari 3.1, Opera 10 and Mozilla Firefox 3.5. This has subsequently
increased interest in Web typography, as well as the usage of font downloading.

CSS1[edit]
In the first CSS specification,[2] authors specified font characteristics via a series of
properties:

font-family

font-style

font-variant

font-weight

font-size

All fonts were identified solely by name. Beyond the properties mentioned above, designers
had no way to style fonts, and no mechanism existed to select fonts not present on the
client system.

Web-safe fonts[edit]
Web-safe fonts are fonts likely to be present on a wide range of computer systems, and
used by Web content authors to increase the likelihood that content displays in their chosen
font. If a visitor to a Web site does not have the specified font, their browser tries to select a
similar alternative, based on the author-specified fallback fonts and generic families or it
uses font substitution defined in the visitor's operating system.

Microsoft's Core fonts for the Web[edit]

Since being released under Microsoft'sCore fonts for the Web program, Arial, Georgia, and Verdana
have become three de facto fonts of the Web.

Main article: Core fonts for the Web


To ensure that all Web users had a basic set of fonts, Microsoft started the Core fonts for
the Web initiative in 1996 (terminated in 2002). Released fonts include Arial, Courier
New, Times New Roman, Comic Sans, Impact, Georgia, Trebuchet, Webdings andVerdana
under an EULA that made them freely distributable but also limited some usage rights.
Their high penetration rate has made them a staple for Web designers. However, most
linux distributions don't include these fonts by default.
CSS2 attempted to increase the tools available to Web developers by adding font
synthesis, improved font matching and the ability to download remote fonts. [3]
Some CSS2 font properties were removed from CSS2.1 and later included in CSS3. [4][5]

Fallback fonts[edit]
Main article: Fallback font
The CSS specification allows for multiple fonts to be listed as fallback fonts. [6] In CSS,
the font-family property accepts a list of comma-separated font faces to use, like so:
font-family: Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", "Liberation Sans", Arial,
sans-serif;

The first font specified is the preferred font. If this font is not available, the Web browser
attempts to use the next font in the list. If none of the fonts specified are found, the browser
displays its default font. This same process also happens on a per-character basis if the
browser tries to display a character not present in the specified font.

Generic font families[edit]


To give Web designers some control over the appearance of fonts on their Web pages,
even when the specified fonts are not available, the CSS specification allows the use of
several generic font families. These families are designed to split fonts into several
categories based on their general appearance. They are commonly specified as the last in
a series of fallback fonts, as a last resort in the event that none of the fonts specified by the
author are available. There are five generic families:[6]
Sans-serif
Fonts that do not have decorative markings, or serifs, on their letters. These fonts
are often considered easier to read on screens.[7]
Serif
Fonts that have decorative markings, or serifs, present on their characters.
Monospace
Fonts in which all characters are equally wide.
Cursive
Fonts that resemble cursive writing. These fonts may have a decorative
appearance, but they can be difficult to read at small sizes, so they are generally
used sparingly.
Fantasy
Fonts that may contain symbols or other decorative properties, but still represent
the specified character.

Web fonts[edit]
History[edit]
A technique to download remote fonts was first specified in the CSS2
specification, which introduced the @font-face rule.
It was (and remains[8]) controversial because using a remote font as
part of a Web page allows the font to be freely downloaded. This could
result in fonts being used against the terms of their license or illegally
spread through the Web. TrueDoc (PFR), Embedded OpenType (EOT)
and Web Open Font Format (WOFF) are formats designed to address
these issues.
Since the introduction of Internet Explorer 4, font embedding
employing EOT has been used mainly for displaying characters
in writing systems that are not supported by default fonts. Use on
English-language Web sites was virtually non-existent. With the
releases of Firefox 3.5, Opera 10 and Safari 3.1, usage employing
other formats is expected to increase.

File formats[edit]
Main article: Comparison of layout engines (Web Typography)
By using a specific CSS @font-face embedding technique[9] it is
possible to embed fonts such that they work with IE4+, Firefox 3.5+,
Safari 3.1+, Opera 10+ and Chrome 4.0+. This allows the vast majority
of Web users to access this functionality. Some commercial foundries
object to the redistribution of their fonts. For example, Hoefler & Frere-

Jonessays that, while they "...enthusiastically [support] the emergence


of a more expressive Web in which designers can safely and reliably
use high-quality fonts online," the current delivery of fonts
using @font-face is considered "illegal distribution" by the foundry
and is not permitted.[10] Instead, Hoefler & Co. offer a proprietary font
delivery system rooted in the cloud. Many other commercial type
foundries address the redistribution of their fonts by offering a specific
license, known as a web font license, which permits the use of the font
software to display content on the web, a usage normally prohibited by
basic desktop licensed. Naturally this does not interfere with fonts and
foundries under free licences.[m 1]
TrueDoc[edit]
Bitstream developed TrueDoc, the first standard for embedding fonts.
TrueDoc was natively supported in Netscape Navigator 4, but was
discontinued in Netscape Navigator 6 and Mozilla, because Netscape
could not release Bitstream's source code. A WebFont Player plugin
was available for Internet Explorer, but the technology had to compete
against Microsoft's Embedded OpenType fonts, natively supported
since version 4.0.
Embedded OpenType[edit]
Internet Explorer has supported font embedding through the
proprietary Embedded OpenType standard since version 4.0. It
uses digital rights management techniques to help prevent fonts from
being copied and used without a license. A simplified subset of EOT
has been formalized under the name of CWT (Compatibility Web Type,
formerly EOT-Lite)[11]
Scalable Vector Graphics[edit]
Web typography applies to SVG in two ways:

1.
All versions of the SVG 1.1 specification, including
the SVGT subset, define a font module allowing the creation
of fonts within an SVG document. Safari introduced support
for many of these properties in version 3. Opera added
preliminary support in version 8.0, with support for more
properties in 9.0.
2.
The SVG specification lets CSS apply to SVG
documents in a similar manner to HTML documents, and
the @font-face rule can be applied to text in SVG
documents. Opera added support for this in version 10,
[12] and WebKit since version 325 also supports this method
using SVG fonts only.
Scalable Vector Graphics Fonts[edit]
SVG fonts is a W3C standard of fonts using SVG graphic that is now a
subset of OpenType fonts.[13] This allows multicolor[14] or animated
fonts.[15] It was first a subset of SVG 1.1 specifications [16] The SVG fonts
as independent format is supported by most browsers apart from IE
and Firefox, and is deprecated in Chrome (and Chromium). [17] That's
now generally deprecated; the standard that most browser vendor
agreed with is SVG font subset included in OpenType (and then
WOFF superset, see below), calledSVGOpenTypeFonts.[18] Firefox has

supported SVG OpenType since Firefox 26. All major browsers should
comply soon.[19]
TrueType/OpenType[edit]
Main articles: TrueType and OpenType
Linking to industry-standard TrueType (TTF) and OpenType (TTF/OTF)
fonts are supported by Mozilla Firefox 3.5+, Opera 10+, [20] Safari 3.1+,
[21] Google Chrome 4.0+. [22]Internet Explorer 9+ supports only those
fonts with embedding permissions set to installable.[23]
Web Open Font Format[edit]
Main article: Web Open Font Format
WOFF has been supported by Mozilla Firefox 3.6+,[24] Google
Chrome 5+,[25][26] Opera Presto,[27] and is supported by Internet Explorer
9 (since March 14, 2011).[28] Support is available on Mac OS X
Lion's Safari from release 5.1.

Unicode fonts[edit]
Only two fonts available by default on the Windows platform, Microsoft
Sans Serif and Lucida Sans Unicode, provide a
wide Unicode character repertoire. A bug in Verdana (and the different
handling of it by various user agents) hinders its usability
where combining characters are desired.

Alternatives[edit]
A common hurdle in Web design is the design of mockups that include
fonts that are not Web-safe. There are a number of solutions for
situations like this. One common solution is to replace the text with a
similar Web-safe font or use a series of similar-looking fallback fonts.
Another technique is image replacement. This practice involves
overlaying text with an image containing the same text written in the
desired font. This is good for aesthetic purposes, but prevents text
selection, increases bandwidth use, and is bad for search engine
optimization.
Also common is the use of Flash-based solutions such as sIFR. This is
similar to image replacement techniques, though the text is selectable
and rendered as a vector. However, this method requires the presence
of a proprietary plugin on a client's system.
Another solution is using Javascript to replace the text with VML (for
Internet Explorer) or SVG (for all other browsers).[29]
Font hosting services allow users to pay a subscription to host nonWeb-safe fonts online. Most services host the font for the user and
provide the necessary @font-face CSS declaration.
An example of a CSS @font-face setup:

@charset "utf-8";
@font-face {
font-family: 'Journal';
src: url('http://yourown.site/fonts/journal/journal.woff')
format('woff'),
url('http://yourown.site/fonts/journal/journal.svg#Journal')
format('svg'),
url('http://yourown.site/fonts/journal/journal.ttf')
format('truetype'),
url('http://yourown.site/fonts/journal/journal.eot'),
url('http://yourown.site/fonts/journal/journal.eot?#iefix')
format('embedded-opentype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}

Practical considerations[edit]
This section requires expansion.
(August 2014)

In practice, it matters not only what web browser the audience is using
but also how their operating system is configured. In 2010, type
designer and consultant Thomas Phinney (Vice President
of FontLab and formerly with Adobe[30]) wrote a step-by-step process
for finding the best rendering solution, whichmore or less jokingly
uses a large number of goto statements.[31] A more visually
oriented flow chart was posted in the same year on
the Typophile forum by Miha Zajec.[32]

Template Language
Although you dont have to use it in order to send emails with
MailChimp, our template language is a powerful, easy way to code
your own email templates that are reusable and editable from within
the application.

Creating Editable Areas


mc:edit
mc:edit is used to provide a content-editing action for a
particular element within a template.

Adding mc:edit="$unique_name" to an HTML element allows


you to add content or code from within the MailChimp campaign
editor.

The name used in mc:edit must be unique.

mc:edit="" should be used on a div, table cell, or any other


element that can be considered a container.

mc:edit should be placed on an <img> element. This will allow


the app to call up an image upload and editing dialogue.

The name you assign via mc:edit="$unique_name" is used to


create a field in the database to store the users content. If the user
switches templates after writing content, they could lose their copy if
the editable space names arent consistent. The following naming
conventions are a good rule of thumb for common content areas:

mc:edit="header" Use this to name your email


header.

mc:edit="header_image" Use this to name an editable


header image.

mc:edit="sidebar" Use this to name an editable leftor right-side column.

mc:edit="body" Use this to name the main content


space of your email.

mc:edit="footer" Use this to name your email footer.

A few things to watch out for when using mc:edit to create


editable areas:

You shouldnt nest editable elements within other editable


elements.

You shouldnt place editable images within an editable


content container.

Any content added within an editable window is tied to


the name used in the mc:edit tag. If you change the name after
saving the content to a template, youll lose the content.

mc:hideable
mc:hideable is used to provide a hide/show action for a
particular element within a template.

Syntax: mc:hideable

Use mc:hideable on any HTML element

Avoid placing the mc:hideable tag on an element that already


has an mc:repeatable tag.

When an element is hidden, it will not be visible when the email


is sent from MailChimp.

There are no restrictions on the use of mc:hideable. Any


element can be hidden.

Theres no need to add a namespace to the mc:hideable tag


(IE: mc:hideable=$name)

If youre editing hideable sections in the campaign builder using


your templates remove button, note that the section wont disappear
in the editor screen. The section you want to remove will fade, but
remainjust in case you change your mind and want to use the
space. However, when you send out your email, the section you have
removed wont appear in your campaign. You can preview this
change by clicking on popup preview.

The remove and hide section buttons dont offer the same
functionality in the template editor. In fact, you cant actually remove
anything while working in the template editor. If you need to make
changes like that, we suggest you work in the campaign builder
instead.

mc:repeatable
mc:repeatable is used to provide a duplication action for a
particular element within a template.

Syntax: mc:repeatable

Use mc:repeatable on any HTML element

mc:repeatable elements can be nested within each other, but


use care if youre going to do this. We dont encourage this use.

mc:label
mc:label is an optional tag used to name an editable section
within the application.

Syntax: mc:label=header_image

Use mc:label on any mc:edit element

If no mc:label name is specified, the app will use the name


from the mc:edit tag instead.

mc:variant
mc:variant is used to provide a way to switch between discrete
blocks of HTML.

mc:variant must be used in conjunction with mc:repeatable.

Syntax: mc:repeatable=product mc:variant=content with left


image

Use mc:variant on any discrete HTML elements you wish to


switch between

mc:variant blocks should not be nested within each other.

mc:variant blocks must be adjacent to each other in HTML:


<!-- // Begin Module: Left Image with Right Content \\ -->
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
width="100%" mc:repeatable="image_with_content"
mc:variant="content with left image">

<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top">
<img src="..." mc:edit="left_image" />
</td>
<td valign="top">
<div mc:edit="right_content">
<h4 class="h4">Heading 4</h4>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- // End Module: Left Image with Right Content \\ -->
<!-- // Begin Module: Right Image with Left Content \\ -->
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
width="100%" mc:repeatable="image_with_content"
mc:variant="content with right image">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<div mc:edit="left_content">
<h4 class="h4">Heading 4</h4>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
</div>
</td>
<td align="center" valign="top">
<img src="..." mc:edit="right_image" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- // End Module: Right Image with Left Content \\ -->

Defining Editable CSS


Style Declaration Block
Style declaration blocks share a basic structure regardless of the
element style targeted. In this example, H1 tag styling is declared:
/**
* @tab Page
* @section heading 1
* @tip Set the styling for all first-level headings in
your emails.

* @style heading 1
*/
h1{
/*@editable*/ color:#202020 !important;
display:block;
/*@editable*/ font-family:Arial;
/*@editable*/ font-size:34px;
/*@editable*/ font-weight:bold;
/*@editable*/ line-height:100%;
/*@editable*/ text-align:left;
}
Each editable CSS ruleset opens with the declaration block:
/**
* @tab Page
* @section heading 1
* @tip Set the styling for all first-level headings in
your emails.
* @style heading 1
*/

@tab defines a tab under which you can organize several


editable styles. Its best used for high-level groups like header,
sidebar, or footer. @tab is required.

@section defines a subsection within a tab. Its best used for


narrow-focus groups such as body content, footer links, or
background colors. @section can encompass styles from several
different elements or areas (@section body, for example, can have
styles for the background color of the table, along with text and link
styles.) @section is optional, but highly recommended.

@tip allows for a tooltip to show when the tab for its section
is selected. @tip is optional.

@style allows you to add a rulesets styles to the drop-down


menu in the campaign text editor window. This facilitates the quick
application of specific CSS to any selected text. @style should only be
used on text styles. @style is optional.
Each editable CSS property is preceded by the @editable declaration:
h1{
/*@editable*/ color:#202020 !important;
display:block;
/*@editable*/ font-family:Arial;
/*@editable*/ font-size:34px;
/*@editable*/ font-weight:bold;

/*@editable*/ line-height:100%;
/*@editable*/ text-align:left;
}
@editable is required on each style intended to be edited in
MailChimps campaign builder.

Getting Started

Template Language

Although you dont have to use it in order to send emails with


MailChimp, our template language is a powerful, easy way to code
your own email templates that are reusable and editable from within
the application.

Creating Editable Areas


mc:edit
is used to provide a content-editing action for a
particular element within a template.

Adding mc:edit="$unique_name" to an HTML element allows you to


add content or code from within the MailChimp campaign editor.

The name used in mc:edit must be unique.

mc:edit="" should be used on a div, table cell, or any other


element that can be considered a container.

mc:edit should be placed on an <img> element. This will allow the


app to call up an image upload and editing dialogue.

The name you assign via mc:edit="$unique_name" is used to


create a field in the database to store the users content. If the user
switches templates after writing content, they could lose their copy if
the editable space names arent consistent. The following naming
conventions are a good rule of thumb for common content areas:

mc:edit="header" Use this to name your email header.

mc:edit="header_image" Use this to name an editable


header image.

mc:edit="sidebar" Use this to name an editable left- or


right-side column.

mc:edit="body" Use this to name the main content space


of your email.

mc:edit="footer" Use this to name your email footer.

A few things to watch out for when using mc:edit to create


editable areas:

You shouldnt nest editable elements within other editable


elements.

You shouldnt place editable images within an editable


content container.

Any content added within an editable window is tied to


the name used in the mc:edit tag. If you change the name after
saving the content to a template, youll lose the content.

mc:edit

mc:hideable
is used to provide a hide/show action for a
particular element within a template.

Syntax: mc:hideable

mc:hideable

Use mc:hideable on any HTML element


Avoid placing the mc:hideable tag on an element that already
has an mc:repeatable tag.

When an element is hidden, it will not be visible when the email


is sent from MailChimp.

There are no restrictions on the use of mc:hideable. Any element


can be hidden.

Theres no need to add a namespace to the mc:hideable tag


(IE: mc:hideable=$name)

If youre editing hideable sections in the campaign builder using


your templates remove button, note that the section wont disappear
in the editor screen. The section you want to remove will fade, but
remainjust in case you change your mind and want to use the
space. However, when you send out your email, the section you have
removed wont appear in your campaign. You can preview this
change by clicking on popup preview.

The remove and hide section buttons dont offer the same
functionality in the template editor. In fact, you cant actually remove
anything while working in the template editor. If you need to make
changes like that, we suggest you work in the campaign builder
instead.

mc:repeatable
is used to provide a duplication action for a
particular element within a template.

Syntax: mc:repeatable

Use mc:repeatable on any HTML element

mc:repeatable elements can be nested within each other, but use


care if youre going to do this. We dont encourage this use.

mc:repeatable

mc:label
mc:label is an optional tag used to name an editable section
within the application.

Syntax: mc:label=header_image

Use mc:label on any mc:edit element

If no mc:label name is specified, the app will use the name from
the mc:edit tag instead.

mc:variant

mc:variant

is used to provide a way to switch between discrete

blocks of HTML.
must be used in conjunction with mc:repeatable.
Syntax: mc:repeatable=product mc:variant=content with left
image

mc:variant

Use mc:variant on any discrete HTML elements you wish to


switch between

mc:variant blocks should not be nested within each other.

mc:variant blocks must be adjacent to each other in HTML:


<!-- // Begin Module: Left Image with Right Content \\ -->
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
width="100%" mc:repeatable="image_with_content"
mc:variant="content with left image">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top">
<img src="..." mc:edit="left_image" />
</td>
<td valign="top">
<div mc:edit="right_content">
<h4 class="h4">Heading 4</h4>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- // End Module: Left Image with Right Content \\ -->

<!-- // Begin Module: Right Image with Left Content \\ -->


<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
width="100%" mc:repeatable="image_with_content"
mc:variant="content with right image">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<div mc:edit="left_content">
<h4 class="h4">Heading 4</h4>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
</div>
</td>
<td align="center" valign="top">
<img src="..." mc:edit="right_image" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- // End Module: Right Image with Left Content \\ -->

Defining Editable CSS


Style Declaration Block

Style declaration blocks share a basic structure regardless of the


element style targeted. In this example, H1 tag styling is declared:
/**
* @tab Page
* @section heading 1
* @tip Set the styling for all first-level headings in
your emails.
* @style heading 1
*/
h1{
/*@editable*/ color:#202020 !important;
display:block;
/*@editable*/ font-family:Arial;
/*@editable*/ font-size:34px;
/*@editable*/ font-weight:bold;
/*@editable*/ line-height:100%;
/*@editable*/ text-align:left;
}
Each editable CSS ruleset opens with the declaration block:
/**
* @tab Page
* @section heading 1
* @tip Set the styling for all first-level headings in
your emails.
* @style heading 1
*/

@tab defines a tab under which you can organize several


editable styles. Its best used for high-level groups like header,
sidebar, or footer. @tab is required.

@section defines a subsection within a tab. Its best used for


narrow-focus groups such as body content, footer links, or
background colors. @section can encompass styles from several
different elements or areas (@section body, for example, can have
styles for the background color of the table, along with text and link
styles.) @section is optional, but highly recommended.

@tip allows for a tooltip to show when the tab for its section
is selected. @tip is optional.

@style allows you to add a rulesets styles to the drop-down


menu in the campaign text editor window. This facilitates the quick
application of specific CSS to any selected text. @style should only be
used on text styles. @style is optional.
Each editable CSS property is preceded by the @editable declaration:

h1{
/*@editable*/ color:#202020 !important;
display:block;
/*@editable*/ font-family:Arial;
/*@editable*/ font-size:34px;
/*@editable*/ font-weight:bold;
/*@editable*/ line-height:100%;
/*@editable*/ text-align:left;
}
@editable is required on each style intended to be edited in
MailChimps campaign builder.
