Gmail email css

Gmail's email client has its own set of CSS rules that can be used to style your emails. Here are some tips and examples to help you get started:

Gmail's CSS Support

• background-color
• background-image
• border
• border-radius

Gmail's CSS Limitations

• No support for :hover pseudo-class
• Limited support for :before and :after pseudo-elements
• No support for box-shadow
• No support for outline

Gmail's CSS Inlining

Gmail inlines CSS styles, which means that any CSS styles you include in your email will be applied to the HTML elements. This can be useful for styling individual elements, but it can also lead to conflicts with other styles.

Gmail's CSS Preprocessing

Gmail preprocesses CSS styles before applying them to the email. This means that you can use some CSS preprocessors like Sass or Less to write your CSS, and Gmail will still be able to understand it.

Gmail's CSS Best Practices

Here are some best practices to keep in mind when writing CSS for Gmail:

• Use a consistent naming convention for your CSS classes and IDs
• Use a reset CSS file to normalize styles across different email clients
• Use inline styles sparingly, as they can lead to conflicts with other styles
• Use a CSS preprocessor like Sass or Less to write your CSS
• Test your email in different email clients, including Gmail, to ensure that your CSS is working as expected
