The text that I added after a HTML table in an email body becomes part of the last row of the HTML table.

How can I separate the text from the HTML table？

Hi @AX-06031421-0

This happens because the HTML table is not properly closed, or the text is still inside a <td> / <tr> tag. As a result, email clients treat your text as part of the last table row.
How to fix it:

Make sure the table is correctly closed:

</table>

Add the text after the closing </table> tag.
Wrap the text in a block element like <p> or <div>.

Example (correct):

<table> ... </table> <p>This text will appear below the table.</p> ``

Common causes:

Missing </table>, </tr>, or </td>
Text placed before the table is fully closed
Invalid or unbalanced HTML (email clients are very strict)

Above screen shot is the body of email. The "Best Regards, Alex" is merged into the last row of HTML table.

Hi,

This happens because your HTML table is not properly closed, so everything after it (like Best Regards, Alex) is treated as part of the last <td>.

Make sure your table variable (varHTMLTable) ends with proper closing tags:

</table>

Then in your email body, explicitly separate content like this:

@{variables('varHTMLTable')}
<br><br>
Best Regards,<br>
Alex

If issue still persists

Wrap your table and text separately:

<div>
@{variables('varHTMLTable')}
</div>

<div>
<br><br>
Best Regards,<br>
Alex
</div>

Cause:

Missing </tr> / </table> OR

Table HTML is injected inside a <span> or inline tag (as seen in your code view)

In your screenshot, the table is inside a <span> → this causes HTML to break and merge content.

Hope this helps.
