Hello! Appreciate if I could get some help on this: I have an ordered list in my email and I will like the ordered list to align left rather than having the indent. How should I edit my HTML code?

here's my HTML code and how it is currently reflected in my email, does anyone have a solution on how I remove the indent of my numbered list? Thanks in advance!

I'm not HTML expert, but you can try adjust the padding:

<ol style="padding-left: 0;"> <li>Item 1</li> <li>Item 2</li> <li>Item 3</li> <li>Item 4</li> </ol>

but Outlook and other clients may render the HTML differently.

Hi Ellis, thank you for your suggestion! I tried, but unfortunately it still doesn't work for me in the email body in power automate, although this code works fine in a normal outlook email.

In which Power Automate action are you trying to format and use the HTML code?

Hello Ellis, I used it in the 'Send an email form a shared mailbox (V2)' action. Not sure if that is what you're referring to. I typed out the whole email using HTML view. Hope that helps

Does the code work when reading emails via the browser?
Did you have any luck with the Outlook Desktop client? The version of the Outlook Desktop Client I am using is:
