How to: Formatting Community/Course Descriptions

Formatting Community/Course Descriptions

In order to properly format a community and or course description you need to use a bit of HTML tagging. For example, as seen in the Photography 101 community you can use the following tricks:

You will need to paragraph everything. For example:

<p>Your paragraph goes here.</p>

You can make your paragraph as long as you like.

After a paragraph, in order to space it, you must add a <br>, which means a line break.

You can also bold words by adding <b>words here</b>. To italic words use <em>words here</em>.

Here is an example code, and the result:

The code:
<p><em>“The magic of photography is metaphysical. What you see in the photograph isn’t what you saw at the time.”</em></p>
<br>
<p>Photography is the <b>art of capturing a visual moment through a camera lens</b>. This community is the source for anyone, amateur or professional, who is interested in photography. Learn the secrets, share your knowledge, connect with others.</p>

The result:
“The magic of photography is metaphysical. What you see in the photograph isn’t what you saw at the time.”

Photography is the art of capturing a visual moment through a camera lens. This community is the source for anyone, amateur or professional, who is interested in photography. Learn the secrets, share your knowledge, connect with others.

Thanks a million for making this, Adam!! I’m not an HTML wiz at all, but this makes sense and I think I can follow your simple clear instructions. Maybe this should be posted in the support community…. I’ll bet I’m not the only one who needs to learn this…
