No, that not help me cuz those are string but mine is HTML + not work for me giving an error — Robot, Oct 30 '18 at 06:39
There is no datatype in Python that is HTML in the way you describe it. The data in `html_content` is going to be a string that **will form HTML**, but it's still a string. The answer you accepted is exactly what the duplicate describes, just in another way of concatenating the variables into a string. — Johan, Oct 30 '18 at 08:59

Why not just do something like this:

html_content = '''
<p>This is an 
<strong>Meeting Request</strong>
<ul>
<li><b>Meeting Date:</b>  %s</li>
<li><strong>Meeting Place:</strong> DRL , Meeting Room 1</li>
<li><strong>Time:</strong> 10-30 To 13-30</li>
<li><strong>Meeting Purpose:</strong> For Opening Appointment</li>
<li><strong>No Of Person:</strong> 5</li>
<li><strong>Priority:</strong> High</li>
<li><strong>Request By:</strong> Mr X</li>
</ul>.</p>
''' % (date)
