HTML includes

[garryb]

I am busy entering all my product details into the catalogue, and was wondering whether it was possible to include HTML mark-up into the product descriptions? Basically I am wanting to include maybe a <BR>, so I can space out my product descriptions a little. Is this possible?

Hi

Thanks for your help. On your recommendation I have attempted what you suggested. But it would appear it doesn't work. I suspect I have not used the HTML mark-up correctly.

I was therefore, wondering whether this is correct:-

Say, for example, that the Text in product line contains:-

Black aluminium box. 6 large & 4 small compartments.
!!<BR>!! Foam in lid. Size 152 x 89 x 29mm

When I view this text allow that is displayed is the text and BR without the brackets

????

You are missing acouple of angled brackets. Embedded HTML must be a a standard HTML expression with !!< at the start and >!! at the end.

i.e.

Black aluminium box. 6 large & 4 small compartments.
!!<<BR>>!! Foam in lid. Size 152 x 89 x 29mm

For new lines in Product Descriptions you don't need to embed HTML as Actinic honours the Enter key when you type text into the Description field. There's also a switch in Design / Options / Misc. that decides whether to use <BR> or <P> for such lines.

For any other features you do require Actinic escaped HTML.
