All these answers work fine but I ran into a problem recently where I wanted to have conditional formatting on the html ie. I wanted the style property of the td to vary based on data. The basic format is similar with the addition of setting td = :

declare @body nvarchar(max)
set @body = 
cast
(select 
'color:red' as 'td/@style', td = p.ProblemType, '',
td = p.Onset, '',
td = p.DiagnosisStatus, ''
from tblProblemList p
where p.PatientUnitNumber = @PatientUnitNumber
for xml path('tr'), type)
as nvarchar(max)

To add in conditional formatting to this you simply need to add a case statement:

declare @body nvarchar(max)
set @body = 
cast
select 
cast (case 
when p.ProblemType = 1 then 'color:#ff0000;'
else 'color:#000;'
end as nvarchar(30)) as 'td/@style',
td = p.ProblemType, '',
td = p.Onset, '',
td = p.DiagnosisStatus, ''
from tblProblemList p
where p.PatientUnitNumber = @PatientUnitNumber
for xml path('tr'), type)
as nvarchar(max)
