Answer 1

html_body += "<tr><td>{}</td><td>{}</td><td>{}</td><td>{}</td>".\form
 ^

Right there is your problem. The backslash is the line-continuation character that the error mentions. Take it out.

Answer 2

html_body += "<tr><td>{}</td><td>{}</td><td>{}</td><td>{}</td>".\format(p[0],p[1],p[2],p[3])
this backslash is not needed ----------------------------------^
