A warning: not all of the given “Output” examples have exactly the correct number of leading spaces on all lines.  In the example for “align()”, for example, what is shown is:

Example:

       String html = `
                          <html>
                              <body>
                                  <p>Hello World.</p>
                              </body>
                          </html>
                     `.align();
       System.out.print(html);

Output:
<html>
   <body>
       <p>Hello World.&</p>
   </body>
</html>

but I believe the correct output would be:

Output:
<html>
    <body>
        <p>Hello World.&</p>
    </body>
</html>

That is, each of the middle three lines of output needed to have an additional leading space character.

Otherwise everything in the email looked okay to me.
