How to use this block

Treat the component as one production section inside a larger message system. Keep the shared classes and wrapper rules intact, then adapt the copy, imagery, and links to the send.

Use this block when...

  • Use when three editorial stories deserve equal weight inside one digest email.
  • Keep summaries short so the grid remains scan-friendly even when it collapses to a single column on mobile.

Keep in mind

  • Give each article card distinct alt text and headings so the stories are distinguishable without the images.
  • Avoid repeating generic link text for every article because assistive technology users need clearer destinations.

Compatibility and rendering notes

Use these notes before moving the block into a campaign, layout system, or client handoff.

Client-specific notes

  • Gmail (Web + Mobile): Primary spacing, stack order, and CTA rendering hold up in Gmail web and mobile views.
  • Outlook Desktop (Windows): Three-column article grids work well, though Outlook can tighten captions and stack the cards sooner.
  • Yahoo Mail: Yahoo Mail may add extra vertical spacing around image-heavy cards, so summaries should stay compact.
