Description problem

Hello! When I run into format issues such as this, I switch the description box to HTML (the button is right on top of the Item Description box) and manually insert paragraph breaks. It's easy to make basic changes like these even if you don't know anything about HTML codes.

Go to the place in your description where you want to start a new paragraph and enter <p>

That should bring the text following that code down to a new paragraph. Just switch back and forth between HTML and Standard to see your progress.

I'm still learning the basic codes myself, so if anyone out there has better info, feel free to correct me

Good luck!

nice one, can't tell you how good it felt to see that space lol. thanks a lot, and as a bonus I now know a little bit of html code

Hooray!!!

There's also lots of "cheat sheets" online with all the basic codes (I have one printed out next to my keyboard just in case )

Hi Reba,
I would LOVE to have a copy of that cheat sheet of simple HTML codes. I know nothing about HTML and it would be so helpful. Any chance you would send URL link.

Just thought I would add that, technically, you want to have opening and closing paragraph tags. So:

<p>This is a my paragraph.</p> 

In the olden days, having only opening tags, like:

<p>Another paragraph example.
<p>Followed by this paragraph. 

was acceptable, and often enough still works today. But following current best practices, you want to have opening and closing tags.

Thanks for mentioning that Neil!

Jeanie, Here's a useful website that has a tutorial and lots of info about HTML codes: http://www.quackit.com/html/tutorial/
