Is there a way to specify background colors for sections of confirmation emails? I want to be able to highlight certain sections of emails (e.g. COVID notices) using a different color.

The options at [Stylize your booking page and emails - YouCanBook.me Support](https://support.youcanbook.me/article/24-adding-markdown) don’t have anything about backgrounds.

@LeroySchulz The only option right now would be to use blockquotes \> this will create a gray box to highlight information:

That might be enough to do what I need. I’ll have a look – thanks!

Yep, that works nicely to help format details in emails.
