Composer Install

```
composer require tomkirsch/html_email

```

Add the service to `Config\Services`

```
	public static function htmlEmail(array $emailConfig=[], bool $getShared=TRUE){

$htmlEmail = service('htmlEmail', ['protocol'=>'mail']); // you can pass an array for CI's email->initialize() if you'd like.
$htmlEmail
	->setSubject('A Test Email for YOU!')
	->section($htmlEmail::SECTION_PREHEADER)
	->p('This is the preheader. It shows up in email previews (sometimes), but not the body.')

	->p('Well Hello There!', [
		'text-align'=>'center',
		'font-size'=>'20px',
		'font-weight'=>'bold',
	])
	->p('This is a test email that uses HTML standard from 1992, because email applications cannot get their shit together. Hopefully this looks the same in most programs.')

	->section('footer')
	->p('You were sent this email because you stupidly signed up for our mailing list. Deal with it.')
	->setMessage() // this sets the HTML and plain text (setAltMessage()) content. Pass a view to customize the layout.
;
// you can pass anything through to CI's email lib too
$htmlEmail
