HTML Fragments
HTML fragments in email refer to sections of HTML code that can be reused across multiple email campaigns.
How are HTML Fragments Useful?
These fragments offer a way for marketers to send only the necessary code for a specific part of an email, such as the header section which may include a logo, navigation, and introductory text. Fragements can be an entire email or a small snippet of code, that you will embed as HTML in a larger email template builder such as beefree.
Furthermore, HTML fragments can be reused across different emails, saving time for marketers and creating consistency across their campaigns. These fragments are considered as sections of an email campaign and will not contain <html> or <body> tags as they are partial sections. Templates are widely used in email marketing, with each section of the template being considered as a fragment.
When creating new emails, any new content that is inserted into a template is also referred to as a fragment.

HTML Template
At line 16, there’s a prompt suggesting the insertion of the tailored content segment at that point in the HTML. This serves merely as a guide; the actual process for incorporating HTML fragment can vary based on the email template system you are using.
Exporting your HTML from the template tool, refining it with a campaign cleaner, and then dispatching it as raw HTML is the preferred procedure. While template builders are excellent for crafting emails swiftly, the HTML generated is not always streamlined. They maintain a specific structure to ensure compatibility with the template system’s functionality.
Campaign Cleaner was initially developed to optimize large fragments, but it does an excellent job optimizing the entire email.
