what is causing my font-size to be so small? - html-table

I'm coding an email for my employer. The font-size should be 16px. I declared it in table td, but it's being overwritten somewhere. I absolutely cannot figure out how or why. Has anyone else run into this issue?
Edit: I should specify that the undesired font-size is occurring on mobile only:

Line 42: font-size: 16px!important; needs a space between the x and !
but also, gmail won't read your style tag. that's why it's standard practice in email to put your font stylings in your <td> as well as an enclosed <font> tag with the face attribute as well as all the style="" CSS from the <td> (it helps with Windows Phone and some versions of Outlook that need a few reminders to render CSS)

How to create a fluid html table that adjusts from 3x2 to 2x3 for responsive email?

I'm working on a responsive email template, and I really would like a table layout for featured products, 3x2 on desktop, 2x3 on mobile.
Currently, I am using a table with cells that change to display as inline-block for mobile clients. However, this breaks in Outlook and Thunderbird, as they display all cells in a single row. I have tried floating the elements, but again they break.
Table Grid 3x2 to 2x3
CSS
#media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
.stack2 {
width: 50% !important;
}
}
.stack2 {
display: inline-block;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
HTML
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0px" cellspacing="0px" border="0px">
<tr>
<!-- Product #1 -->
<td class="stack2" width="33.33%" style="padding:20px;">
</td>
<!-- Product #2 -->
<td class="stack2" width="33.33%" style="padding:20px;">
</td>
<!-- Product #3 -->
<td class="stack2" width="33.33%" style="padding:20px;">

Don't use table cells for this. Cells will continue to stack side by side in a row and that is their natural and intended behaviour.
The only way for a table cell to appear underneath others, would be in another row.
Your implementation goes against HTML logic.
I would go with tables for this instead. That way they will easily stack and rearrange depending on the width you give them. Just bear in mind that you will need to use ghost tables to make the tables sit side by side in Outlook.
Here is a loose example (Ghost tables included) for you to adapt to work for you:
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="FullWidthOnMobile" style="width:600px;">
<tr>
<td>
<!--[if (gte mso 9)|(IE)]>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:100%;">
<tr>
<td style="width:200px;">
<![endif]-->
<table align="left" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="HalfWidthOnMobile" style="width:200px;">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="red" style="padding:10px 0; border:1px solid #fff;"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
<!--[if (gte mso 9)|(IE)]>
</td>
<td>
<![endif]-->
<table align="left" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="HalfWidthOnMobile" style="width:200px;">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="red" style="padding:10px 0; border:1px solid #fff;"> </td>

<!--[if (gte mso 9)|(IE)]>

Media queries I used. Again adapt these as I named for simplicity of understanding what I'm doing:
#media only screen and (max-width:600px){
.FullWidthOnMobile{width:100%!important;min-width:100%!important;}
.HalfWidthOnMobile{width:50%!important;min-width:50%!important;}
}

Stripping HTML elements

I am trying to migrate a webforum where I don't have control over database etc and uses Scrapy to pick the pieces. It is based on an old phpBB forum 2.x.
It is not very well structured so a few challenges.
I now have a HTML string where I need to remove surrounding <td></td>, <span></span>and the Report link at bottom
Starting with:
<td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span>
<table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td><span class="genmed"><b>Some wrote :</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="quote">
<table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td><span class="genmed"><b>Another wrote:</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="quote">Just for test
a link
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<span class="postbody">
<br>
<br>
Test quote #1</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<span class="postbody">
<br>
<br>
Test quote #2<br>
Another link: linktext<br>
_________________<br>/ author
<br>
text<br>
<div align="right">[ Rapportera

Wanted result:

Any tips?

Why not simply do
html = html.strip('<td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span>')
and
html = html.strip('</td>').strip().strip('</span>')

Interior column padding mailchimp

I am in the process of making a custom html template but cannot wok out how to make interior padding on a column (the ones with the 'call to action' button)
I have been trying to insert a small td with a width before the content but it breaks the column.
The code I have is below (apologies for the volume) but I can't work out exactly where to cut it back without breaking it.

Add padding-left to the td elements containing the text and CTA you want space.
Padding is well supported, so will work fine.

Bottom spacing between tables

I'm building an email and have run into a problem where there seems to be automatic spacing at the bottom between two tables.
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<table width="800px" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td>
<img alt="" src="https://imgur.com/6zCGwNt.png" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</table>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<table width="800px" cellpadding="50" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" bgcolor="#10141f">
<tr>
<td>
<h2 style="font-weight:300" align="center">
<font face="verdana" color="#fff" size="5">This is where the video will be added.</font>
</h2>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<video width="700px" height="359" controls poster="https://www.emailonacid.com/images/blog_images/Emailology/2013/html5_video/bunny_cover.jpg" src="https://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.mp4">
<!-- fallback 1 -->

I've included tags such as: cellpadding cellspacing border and gave them a value on zero, which I though would have solved the problem, however that wasn't the case.

Add style="display: block;" to the image. (See Why does my image have space underneath? for a deeper explanation)
A quick glance at your code shows me you're going to have a lot more problems with email clients. I would strongly suggest testing before sending using a service like Litmus.

How to interchange the positions of 2 blocks using anything align or float

I want to interchange the positions of two blocks using some trick for email newsletter. I want the first block to the right and second block to the left.
Tried these:
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="600">
<tr>
<td>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="300" align="right">
content 1
</table>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="300" align="left">
content 2
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr>
<td width="300" align="right" class="column">
content 1
</td>
<td width="300" align="left" class="column">
content 2
</td>
</tr>
</table>
But unfortunately none of them worked. Any other suggestion?

use dir="rtl" on container table and dir="ltr" on the interior tables or tds. This makes it so that the container reads the last table as the beginning and displays on left, but when stacked, it still stacks based on order of tables inside parent.
see below:
<table dir="rtl" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="600">
<tr>
<td>
<table dir="ltr" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="300" align="right">
content 1
</table>
<table dir="ltr" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="300" align="left">
content 2
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table dir="rtl">
<tr>
<td dir="ltr" width="300" align="right" class="column">
content 1
</td>
<td dir="ltr" width="300" align="left" class="column">
content 2
</td>
</tr>
</table>
