How do I get MS Outlook to accept the CSS style display:block?

I am composing an HTML email using a service (MailChimp). The way that MailChimp marks up headings is to use a SPAN tag and gives the tag the inline style of display:block.

MS Outlook 2010 ignores this style. I cannot find any work around. Thus, headings wrap, breaking the desired page display.

Yes, I know that Outlook uses MS Word to display HTML.

Assume that I cannot intervene and hand edit the markup.

How do I get MS Outlook to accept the CSS style display:block and display a SPAN tag as a block level element?

Solution

  • The CSS display attribute is not supported in this version of MS Outlook.

    Here's "The Book" on what you can and cannot use:

    Basically, if you can't change your mark-up to a natively-block item, you're stuck.
