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 the email needs to offer multiple article choices without turning into a plain text list.
  • Limit card copy to one short summary line so the grid survives mobile stacking without becoming too long.

Keep in mind

  • Ensure each article card has a distinct heading because assistive technology users may navigate them individually.
  • Do not rely on image position alone to imply editorial priority across the four cards.

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): Four-card grids can feel dense in Outlook desktop, so image ratios and copy length need tighter control.
  • Yahoo Mail: Yahoo Mail can add inconsistent card spacing, so keep the article summaries concise and visually balanced.
