Chapter 5: Images and Links in HTML Emails

Enhancing Emails with Images and Links

Images and links are essential for visual appeal and user interaction. Correct implementation ensures accessibility and functionality across different email clients.

Adding Images

To include an image in your email, use the <img> tag with an absolute URL and an alt attribute:

<img src="https://example.com/image.jpg" alt="Descriptive text" style="display: block; width: 100%;">

ALT Text for Accessibility

The alt attribute provides alternative text for users who cannot view images, including recipients with images disabled or those using screen readers.

Adding Links

<a href="https://example.com" style="color: #007BFF; text-decoration: none;">
