Shapes with gradient fill are by default rasterized, because not all web browsers support gradient fill.

If possible, avoid using multiple text objects or tables in the same text line. Instead use a single table.
This is because the HTML driver generates one cell tables for text objects to support vertical alignment of these objects. However, e.g. MS Outlook displays these tables as a paragraph table, i.e. the table is the only object that can be on that same text line.

Because Internet Explorer does not submit values from interactive objects outside of an interactive form, an interactive object must always be kept within the scope of an interactive form.

A drop-down list in HTML output always have the first value in the list pre-selected, as long as the user has not yet selected any other value.

You should avoid situations where exact line spacing is necessary since HTML and StoryTeller handle line spacing differently. In HTML, the space is distributed equally above and below the text, while in StoryTeller the specified line spacing is rendered below the text.
Rotation of objects is not supported by HTML and thus ignored. Objects rotated in StoryTeller are rendered in the HTML output without rotation.
You should avoid symbol fonts since HTML does not support characters addressed by codepoints.
However, the StoryTeller bullets, which uses Symbol font, are mapped from the Symbol font by the HTML driver to Unicode U+2022. This renders a bullet of the current font in the same point size as the original bullet, just slightly smaller.
Because HTML does not support balanced columns, all data is rendered in one column regardless of the column section settings.
HTML does not support tabs. Each tab is replaced with two space characters in the output. In StoryTeller, tabs are used in the default numbering types.
However, for bullets and numbering, it is ensured that the bullet or number is placed at the first line indent and a relative width span is rendered before the bullet/numbering content. This space is the shortest of the defined tab and the indent position.
Because HTML does not support balanced columns, all data is rendered in one column regardless of the column section settings.

It is recommended that you let content grow with text areas and table rows, instead of using fixed heights. Depending on the mail client, the content may require more space than the HTML driver expects.

As described above, many design elements that you add in StoryTeller are rasterized by the HTML driver. Be aware of that this rasterization may cause the following:

To enable better suggestions to browsers that do not have the exact font name available, additional font information is generated in addition to the font family name, as in the examples below:
