In <p> <span th:utext="${orderItem.imageUrl}"></span> </p> I can see the image url which is AWS s3 object url where image is stored.
Image URL: https://elasticbeanstalk-us-east-2-157391262832.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Books/Rafi12534#Gmail.com/ArtOfComputerProgramming.jpg
But In <img th:src="#{orderItem.imageUrl}" width="150px"/> image url is not found.
If i hardcode the image url like this:
<img th:src="#{https://elasticbeanstalk-us-east-2-157391262832.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Books/Rafi12534#Gmail.com/ArtOfComputerProgramming.jpg}" width="150px"/>
it works.
To me it seems like in img tag we are not getting the img url. but in th:utext image url is shown

The correct syntax for using a ${...} expression inside of a #{...} expression is:
<img th:src="#{${orderItem.imageUrl}}" width="150px" />
(See the standard URL syntax documentation.) In this case, however, there really is no reason to use the standard URL syntax at all. You can simply use the variable directly.
<img th:src="${orderItem.imageUrl}" width="150px" />
The reason #{orderItem.imageUrl} fails is because Thymeleaf is treating orderItem.imageUrl as a string, and not a variable (equivalent to #{'orderItem.imageUrl'} which will resolve to <img src="/context/orderItem.imageUrl" width="150px" /> -- you can see this by simply viewing the source and noticing that your variable wasn't parsed).

Code formatting indents in HTML are appearing in the document

Here is the HTML code that I copy and pasted from Anki (Flashcard creation program). The code works fine. (Background: the flashcard is a programming question)
<meta content="width=window-width, initial-scale=1.0" name="viewport">
What does this code do?<div><div background-attachment:="" background-clip:="" background-image:="" background-origin:="" background-position:="" background-repeat:="" background-size:="" class="highlight" initial;="" initial;"=""><pre style="line-height: 25px;"><table class="highlighttable" style="font-family: Arial;"><tbody><tr><td><div 10px"="" class="linenodiv" padding-right:=""><pre style="line-height: 125%">1</pre></div></td><td class="code"><div class="highlight"><pre style="line-height: 125%"><<span style="color: #008000; font-weight: bold">meta</span> <span style="color: #7D9029">http-equiv</span><span style="color: #666666">=</span><span style="color: #BA2121">"X-UA-Compatible"</span> <span style="color: #7D9029">content</span><span style="color: #666666">=</span><span style="color: #BA2121">"IE=edge"</span>></pre></div></td></tr></tbody></table></pre></div><div><center><br></center></div></div>
The code rendered on the browser:
Obviously, this code is not readable in its current format. To fix this, I added the appropriate indentations.
<meta content="width=window-width, initial-scale=1.0" name="viewport">
What does this code do?
<div>
<div background-attachment:="" background-clip:="" background-image:="" background-origin:="" background-position:="" background-repeat:="" background-size:="" class="highlight" initial;="" initial;"="">

The strange part: the indents above are now appearing in the HTML document.
This shouldn't be happening, correct? I thought newlines in the HTML are not visible to users?
That's because the whitespace is pre (preserved by the browser). This is intended so that you can indent code. Usually, when you want to render code in HTML you take off the indentation:
<td class="code">
<div class="highlight">
<pre style="line-height: 125%"><<span style="color: #008000; font-weight: bold">meta</span>
<span style="color: #7D9029">http-equiv</span>
<span style="color: #666666">=</span>
<span style="color: #BA2121">"X-UA-Compatible"</span>
<span style="color: #7D9029">content</span>
<span style="color: #666666">=</span>
<span style="color: #BA2121">"IE=edge"</span>>
</pre>
</div>
</td>
Notice that you don't need to do it on the <pre> line itself (and that is why the meta part shows with your desired indentation).
If you are going to be using code snippets frequently, a library such as Prismjs will make your life much easier and be worth the overhead (it's a very lightweight library in fact):
<pre><code class="language-html">(... html code ...)</code></pre>

I wouldn't recommend a fixed width. On mobile devices your template wont show very well. I would recommend you look a simple responsive grid css layout like skeleton - it will resize it all to the width of the browser, works fine in eBay!
How about putting your entire page in a container, giving that container a width of how big you want it to be and centering it. In my snippet, I gave the container a width of 50vw (Which equals to 50% of the current viewport width)
#container{
width:50vw;
display:block;
margin:0 auto;
}
<div id="container">

The code?
Probably you add the CSS code inner <head></head>
Most email clients remove all above the <body> tag
EDIT
Now I see your error. in your logo image put correct protocol:
http:www.demo.com/signature_logo/logo.png INCORRECT
http://www.demo.com/signature_logo/logo.png CORRECT
And put <style> tag down the <body> tag to maximize compatibility.

Using a Perl regex to print multi-line patterns from an HTML file

I have an HTML file. Here is a sample
<div class="criteria" style="padding-left:0;font-style:italic"> You searched for:
<span title="A*" >Individual: <span><b>A*</b></span></span>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%">
<tr class="ListItemColorNew">
<td style="width:50%">
<div class="gvListItemStyle">
<span class="LargeText15">JAMES BOND A'MONEYPENNY </span> (LIC# 1111111)
<div class="GrayTextShade"><i>Alternate Names: BOND JAMES</i></div>
<div class="GrayTextShade">
GREY TIDE LLC (LIC# 2222)
</div>
</div>
</td>
<td style="width:50%">
<div class="gvListItemStyle">
<span class="LargeText15">FRANK WHITE A'SMALLS </span> (LIC# 1111111)
<div class="GrayTextShade"><i>Alternate Names: JAMES SMALLS</i></div>
<div class="GrayTextShade">
WEST RIVER CORP LLC (LIC# 3333)
</div>
</div>
</td>
<td style="width: 25%; vertical-align: top">
<div class="gvListItemStyle">
<div><img alt="help" src=\'/Content/images/BrokerCheck/icon-blueCheck.png\' style=\'vertical-align:top;padding-right:5px\' />Broker</div>
</div>
</td>
<td style="width:25%;text-align:right;vertical-align:top">
<div class="gvListItemStyle">
<a class="btn btn-primary" href="/Individual/Summary/5820616">Details »</a> </div>
</td>
</tr>
I'm trying to extract everything between <td style="width:50%"> and </td>. The data is stored in a file testFile.txt.
This is the Perl code I used
system("perl -pi.bak -e '/^<td style=\"width:50%\">.+<\\/td>/mg' testFile.txt";
Your below code isn't actually doing anything:
system("perl -pi.bak -e '/^<td style=\"width:50%\">.+<\\/td>/mg' testFile.txt");
You're matching m// in a void context with no captures, so the executed statement is meaningless.
Your pattern will never match your content because:
a. You're using the any character ., but it won't match newlines unless you use the /s Modifier.
b. You're using -p for line by line processing of the file, but your pattern would need to span lines in order to match.
The following demonstrates both a regex solution (not recommended) and using an actual HTML Parser, in this case Mojo::DOM. For a helpful 8 minute introductory video, check out Mojocast Episode 5
use strict;
use warnings;
use Mojo::DOM;
my $data = do { local $/; <DATA> };
# Regex Solution:
if ( $data =~ m{<td style="width:50%">(.*?)</td>}s ) {
print "Regex Solution:\n$1";
} else {
warn "No pattern match found";
}
# Parser Solution:
my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new($data);
my $yourtd = $dom->at(q{td[style="width:50%"]})->content;
print "\nMojo::DOM:\n", $yourtd;

As said in the comments, remove the ^ in your regexp.
Also, use /s instead of /mg if you want to treat the file content as a single line string which allows '.' pattern to allow match new line characters '\n'.
/<td style=\"width:50%\">.+?<\\/td>/s
.+? while stop the matching at the first occurrence of </td>, not the last
I hope you've seen previous advice to avoid regexes to process HTML? It's really true! The only excuse I can think of for avoiding one of the several excellent HTML modules is that your data is so malformed that nothing else will process it.
Your "sample" of your HTML file is particularly unhelpful. Before I fixed the indentation the lines were scattered all over the place. After I looked at it I saw that it was the end of one table element followed by the start of another, so it left several elements unbalanced and either closed but not opened or vice-versa. Please don't do that to us.
I built a well-formed HTML file that contains your extract, and this is a program that will process it that uses HTML::TreeBuilder
use strict;
use warnings;
use HTML::TreeBuilder;
my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_file('html.html');
my #td50 = $tree->look_down(_tag => 'td', style => 'width:50%');
print $_->as_HTML('<>&', ' '), "\n\n" for #td50;
output
<td style="width:50%">
<div class="gvListItemStyle"><span class="LargeText15">JAMES BOND A'MONEYPENNY </span> (LIC# 1111111) <div class="GrayTextShade"><i>Alternate Names: BOND JAMES</i></div>
<div class="GrayTextShade"> GREY TIDE LLC (LIC# 2222) </div>
