Today:

A template is a Markdown or HTML text box with a {{ content }} slot.
There's no preview, no styling, no clone, and no default.

Plan

Template types:
- Styled (Postak's own responsive base layout; content is written in Markdown)
- HTML (full control)
- Plain text
Style options for Styled templates:
- page background and font
- content width, background, text colour and line height
- headings H1–H3 (font, size, weight, colour)
- links, buttons, quotes, spacers, footer and footer links
- stored as validated JSON
Footer / signature in Markdown. It must contain an unsubscribe link (Postak adds one otherwise).
Live preview with sample content, inside a sandboxed iframe with no scripts.
Clone a template. Mark one as the project's default.
Produce email-client-safe HTML (inline CSS, table layout) and test it in the major clients.
Postak's own layout and sample content.
