You can't render html in a shell. If you want to see how HTML in shell looks like, try installing lynx...

ANSI/VT100 terminals and terminal emulators can output colored text (and text background) using escape sequences.

echo -e "\e[31mHello World\e[0m"

outputs red text for example ..

Can I mail the html output from shell script

as html is rendered on the client you can send it from everywhere .. maybe you can help us understand your problem by giving more information. What do you want to achieve?

I want to format the shell output using html and send that output through mail

do you need colors? You could export it as plaintext (by piping it into a file) and display it inside a "<pre>" Tag (so keep line endings)
