Details View Example (JIRA)
The code will run in a velocity engine and you'll have to make sure your code is well formatted.
Make sure to write your code (HTML) so that most of the common used email clients can render the HTML. The most error prone client is Microsoft Outlook (according to our findings), so make sure to test before you publish any custom theme.
Below you will find an example (the default details view theme):
