Formatting the HTML table is not successful with compose

The following is the flow I'm building. Yue_Jiang_0-1713334272658.png

But the question is that though I've copied the CSS style online about how to format the HTML table, the results don't show when I send out my emails containing the HTML table. The code I copied online is below: 

<style>
table.blueTable {
border: 1px solid #1C6EA4;
background-color: #EEEEEE;
width: 100%;
text-align: left;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table.blueTable td, table.blueTable th {
border: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
padding: 3px 2px;
}
table.blueTable tbody td {
font-size: 13px;
}
table.blueTable tr:nth-child(even) {
background: #D0E4F5;
}
table.blueTable thead {
background: #1C6EA4;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #5592bb 0%, #327cad 66%, #1C6EA4 100%);
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #5592bb 0%, #327cad 66%, #1C6EA4 100%);
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #5592bb 0%, #327cad 66%, #1C6EA4 100%);
border-bottom: 2px solid #444444;
}
table.blueTable thead th {
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FFFFFF;
border-left: 2px solid #D0E4F5;
}
table.blueTable thead th:first-child {
border-left: none;
}

table.blueTable tfoot {
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FFFFFF;
background: #D0E4F5;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #dcebf7 0%, #d4e6f6 66%, #D0E4F5 100%);
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #dcebf7 0%, #d4e6f6 66%, #D0E4F5 100%);
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #dcebf7 0%, #d4e6f6 66%, #D0E4F5 100%);
border-top: 2px solid #444444;
}
table.blueTable tfoot td {
font-size: 14px;
}
table.blueTable tfoot .links {
text-align: right;
}
table.blueTable tfoot .links a{
display: inline-block;
background: #1C6EA4;
color: #FFFFFF;
padding: 2px 8px;
border-radius: 5px;
}
</style>

 

After I incorporate this into the compose, i include both the Compose's result and the Create HTML table's result into Send emails, which worked well in the past. Hence, I wonder whether this method was right or not. How to improve?

    Hi @Yue_Jiang ,

    Could you please try the html code I provided?

    <style>
    Table {
     font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
     background-color: #EEEEEE;
     border-collapse: collapse;
     width: 100%;
    }
    
    Table td, Table th {
     border: 1px solid #ddd;
     padding: 3px 3px;
    }
    
    Table th {
     font-size: 15px;
     font-weight: bold;
     padding-top: 12px;
     padding-bottom: 12px;
     text-align: left;
     background-color: #1C6EA4;
     color: white;
    }
    </style>

    Remember that in the body of the email, the CSS style format comes first, and the HTML table comes last.

    I want to add that the result didn't show means that the formatting of HTML table was not successful. Similar to the picture below

    Hi @Yue_Jiang ,

    Note that the CSS Style format comes first, and the html table comes last.
