I've been asked to create a HTML email template in ExactTarget, and after having read the documentation I have a few questions. Thanks in advance for your help.
Is this the only tag available to mark a user editable area?
<custom type="content" name="Content Area 1">
Are there any other options available, eg. repeating elements a la Campaign Monitor templates?
Can I, for example, specify that the content should be an image, and that the image should have a fixed width?
Can I set default content for these areas?
The template requires a tracking pixel. Is there a tag in the HTML that will do this without having to manually insert it via a menu?
Does ExactTarget automatically inline styles I've added to a style block on send?

Yes - this is how ExactTarget creates content areas and the areas are not restrictive.
In order to track emails, simply insert
<custom name="opencounter" type="tracking">into the bottom of your code, before the</body>.ExactTarget does not automatically inline style - this would be something you would have to do prior to saving.
