It is possible to use HTML coding in Student Manager Email Templates if you follow these rules:
Use the Opening/Closing <HTML></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 <body> tag. The tag 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 HTML Editor to apply HTML formatting to your email template.
