Nectar provides for creating simple report output. However, in the 'formats' directory, you can include custom html and css files to control the look and feel of the e-mail message.

In the case you choose to include not only css, but wrap the report in html, you must either place a special <REPORT> tag inside the report, or be prepared for the report contents to immediately follow the content of your special file.

The format files must exist in the 'formats' directory and have a 'format' file extension. No other files in this directory will be processed. In addition, they need to include a “Description:” comment line that will be used inside of the Nectar UI to describe the format file.

# Description: Minimal Format
<style type='text/css'>
.report_table {
    background-color:#F9F9F9;
    align: center;
    border:0;
    width:100%;
}
</style>
<table><tr><td>My Report</td></tr></table>

Any image data that you include, must be fully addressable by url as currently Nectar will not process that image data into attachments.
