The newsletter custom HTML code is a structure for very simple newsletter form:
<form action="#" class="gk-newsletter"> <p> <input type="email" placeholder="Enter Email Address"> <input type="button" value="Join"> <strong><span>Sign up</span> for the latest news</strong> </p> </form>
As you can see it uses the form element with gk-newsletter CSS class, and two basic input fields.
