What is Inlining?

Inlining is the process of prepping an HTML email for delivery to email clients. Some email clients strip out your email's styles unless they are written inline with style tags. Here's what the inliner does:

  • Inlining CSS: All of your CSS is embedded directly into the HTML as style attributes on each tag.
  • Positioning media query CSS: CSS inside a @media block can't be inlined, so it's put in a <style> tag. Because some clients, such as Outlook and Gmail, strip out any CSS found in the <head>, the inliner moves the <style> tag out of the <head> and into the <body>.
  • Compresses the output: The final HTML is compressed by removing whitespace between tags and CSS blocks. This makes the file size of the email smaller, allowing it to load faster on slower mobile networks.

We use this same inliner in the ZURB Email Stack but it's more automated.

Issues with the Output?

You can open an issue on the Foundation for Emails GitHub repo to get help. Please include the HTML/CSS that isn't working so we can test it ourselves.
