grunt-email-builder
Uses Email Builder to inline css into HTML tags, send tests to Litmus, and send test emails to yourself.
As of v3.0.0, you will no longer be able to use the data-ignore
attribute. Instead, use data attributes data-embed
and data-embed-ignore
to prevent email builder from inlining css styles.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- styles will be inlined -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/styles.css">
<!-- styles will be embedded -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/otherStyles.css" data-embed>
<!-- link tag will be preserved and styles will not be inlined or embedded -->
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' data-embed-ignore>
<!-- styles will be inlined -->
<style>
p { color: red; }
</style>
<!-- styles will be embedded -->
<style data-embed>
h1 { color: black; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Heading</h1>
<p>Body</p>
</body>
</html>

Troubleshooting
If you're having issues with Litmus taking forever to load a test or the title of the test is showing up as "No Subject", it is most likely an issue with the Litmus API. You can check the Litmus status page to find out if their having any issues. If that's not the case, submit an issue and we'll look into further.
