Hello,
This is regarding a problem we are facing with the outlook email renderer.
We are sending emails using Java Email API and if we use <mark> tag to highlight a text in the email template the highlight does not appear while reading the email.
However if we use a background color to highlight the text it seems to be working.
Html code with mark tag :
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
</head>
<body style="min-height: 245px;">
<table style="margin: 0 auto; padding: 0;" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="center">
<table style="width: 600px; display:none !important;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td height="20"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table style="width: 600px; height:auto !important;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="20" border="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td id="tableWrapperContentId" align="left"><p><mark>Hello I am Highlighted via mark tag</mark></p></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table style="width: 600px; height:auto !important;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td height="50"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Sample text</p>
</body>
</html>
HTML code with background color :
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
</head>
<body style="font-size: 16px; min-height: 245px;">
<table style="margin: 0 auto; padding: 0;" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="center">
<table style="width: 600px; display:none !important;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td height="20"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table style="width: 600px; height:auto !important;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="20" border="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td id="tableWrapperContentId" align="left"><p><span style="background-color: rgb(247, 218, 100);">Hello I am highlighted using background color</span></p></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table style="width: 600px; height:auto !important;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td height="50"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Sample text</p>
</body>
</html>
Can someone please confirm whether Outlook ignores the <mark> tag?
The tag is not present in the list of tags ignored by outlook!
