The issue templates consist of:

Header (the leading HTML code including the <html> element - here you can place your CSS styles.
Body - the layout of the e-mail - here you can place static text, macros and editable regions. The editable regions allow users to enter content of the particular newsletter issue. They can be inserted using the Insert editable region section:
