I'm creating a Python script to create a HTML document with the message containing HTML code in triple quotes. How would I go about formatting some of the text inside the triple quote?
I figured it out with a simple solution.
I exit the triple quotes with triple quotes then added my variables by using + "{}".format(row[0]) + then re adding triple quotes to continue the string.
a and b would be inputs from your cursor???
Sorry, but maybe Joe Borgione might have had to do email notification or knows someone that does

I'm really just looking to have an email composed based on a fields from a search cursor using python but I want to be able to send it manually.
perhaps you will have to google, …. html email python
I don't think it is just the triple quotes
For example
Sending HTML email using Python - Stack Overflow
I tested your suggestions and it still just produces {} in the body of the email.
did you try some of the suggestions for formatting within the triple quote?
What did your code produce
In the Python script below I'm creating an HTML document with a hyperlink to generate an email. How would I use formatting .format(row[0]) in the body section of the email?

but if you want to keep the triple quotes then you have to single quote the triple quotes so that they appear but not affect the escaped quotes…

simple ehh???
mess with single and double quotes and escaping... at least in python 3
