Tables

Tables help present data in a clear and structured format. Styled tables improve readability and make information easier to scan.

When to use

Use tables to present data in a grid format, such as:

  • schedules
  • structured datasets
  • lists that benefit from column alignment.

Tables also help ensure content displays consistently across different email clients.

Tips for using tables effectively

  • Use clear, concise headings for each column.
  • Avoid merging cells or using complex formatting that may not render correctly.
  • Ensure table content is readable on mobile devices.
  • Provide context for the data presented, such as a heading or a short lead-in sentence.
  • Include alternative text or context if the table conveys essential information.
