populating HTML template from an external source
I've done a lot of searching on this but it's a bit tricky when you're not
quite sure what you're searching for.
I've produced an HTML email template that is designed to include a list of
events that my company runs. Each list item includes the event title, the
date and then a short description. Currently I have the list set out as a
table. The reason being is that this HTML document has to be filled in by
others who aren't as well versed in HTML and this was the easiest way I
could find for them to be able to fill it in, adding new table rows etc
without messing up the template (we used to use lists and we'd end up with
extra list items popping up everywhere, list items not getting closed
etc.)
Anyway long story short; is there a way for me to populate these table
cells (or list items) from another source? One method I thought would work
is inputting the data into an excel spreadsheet/database, then running
something that puts that data into the HTML template and outputs a new
HTML document that we can use in an email (ie would have to be static and
not sourcing it's info externally). I'm sure it's possible but this is way
beyond my own abilities, so I just wanted some advice.
Sorry for the long post!
