How to get Formatted text for Item Descriptions?

[froggy711]

I have been working on trying to get my text to format in an Item description.

 

All I really am trying to do is list my description with a simple line break or a bullet would be nice to have an item description that is not one large paragraph of words only separated by a comma or period.

It would clean up the look of the description and help point our key features of a product.

 

 

I was wondering if there were any contributions that address this,

a text editor like the ones used in forum posting would be awesome.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

If you want to format your text<br>
You have to use HTML in your product descriptions.<br>

I hope you get my meaning.<br>

You know how it is sometimes you think about something so hard you over look the small things,

and as soon as I started to read the reply, the more stupid I felt.

 

SO I thank you for your help, it works perfectly when you use a simple language. Thanks again

No need to "feel stupid".

:blush:

 

I didn't know you were supposed to use HTML in there either until I tried it.

 

I wasn't trying to be rude, crude, nor obnoxious.

 

And I didn't know how much you knew about HTML, so I answered your question, and provided an example at the same time.

:lol:

 

I hope that was OK.

I thank you, and I did not take your explination the wrong way, actually it was kind of like a light switch.

It's funny because I literally tried everything else, even worked on building a text editor into the admin pannel

so I could get my descriptions to work. I was looking so far outside the box for an answer I forgot to even try using simple .Html

 

When you suggested it I just could not believe I didn't try that.

 

All I can say is thanks a ton, I really really wanted to get a nice looking description and Now I can do that,

 

Have a great day and thanks again.

Don't forget you can even use something like access to create a formatted description from a supplier's data feed e.g.

 

 

This is the standard description given by the manu.......

.......................

............ and this is the end.<br><brl>List price : $53.43 <br><br>Save $8.43

 

 

(Just guessing on the currency here)
