HTML Formatted Emails ​
It is possible to use HTML coding in Student Manager Email Templates if you follow these rules:
Opening/Closing HTML Tags ​
You must put the opening <HTML>
tag at the beginning of the Header text and the closing </HTML>
tag at the end of the Footer text in any email template you want to format as HTML.
We also recommend using the opening and closing <body></body>
tags. The tags should be placed after the <HTML>
tag in the Header, and before the closing </HTML>
tag in the Footer.
For example:
You may also use the HTMLÂ Editor to apply HTMLÂ formatting to your email template.
Template Coding ​
You must follow the appropriate Email Template Coding rules:
- Email Template Coding (Student Manager 8.0.097 and newer) - this topic covers the new rules for template coding.
- Email Template Coding (Legacy) - this topic covers the legacy template coding rules.
Including Images ​
- Images must be placed on your web server.
- You CANNOT link to images stored in your Student Manager folder.
- You use the
<img>
tag to point to the URLÂ of the image. For example:

- You must use the Full URLÂ in your img src value (see above example).
