Description field of items

  1. Is it possible to setup the description text box to MAINTAIN BASIC TEXT FORMATTING?

    You know
    <br>

    <p>
    kind of carriage returns you find on the oldest of old timey type writers.
    I'm not even asking for HTML support here.. just simple.. I click enter and the text moves and stays a line down.

    The ability to format text into a readable area makes it a more useable area.
    Not everything list is "My Little Pony Knock Off".

    Both the <br> and <p> tag are supported in description fields (unless this changed very recently)
     
  3. *facepalm*

    so... html is cool but standard carriage returns get ignored?
    That's a first.. ok thanks for that!
     
  4. I took the liberty of proving my point.


    Guess I'll start manually typing <br> instead of using the return key as intended by the makers of typewriters way back when.

    It all depends - I find myself previewing my forum posts and editing out all the carriage returns I typed inadvertently at the end of a line at my current browser window size as they
    tend to
    mess
    up
    the
    writing at any other window size... :D

    The HTML works... so thanks for that. Copy Pasta the <br> for the win.
    As an ex web designer this is :rolleyes: but whatever it works
