product description

[ben harry]

How do I add paragraphs to a product description, I assumed it would simply be pressing enter, it looks fine when im writing it, but when i preview it, the whole description is in one paragraph.

TRY entering

<br/>

after the word where next sentence/paragraph starts

You need to use some basic html. If you do not know basic HTML I would suggest googling HTML tutorial. It's pretty simple to pick up the basics.

Also, in the admin, under configuration->my store set HTML editor to HTML Area rather than plain text. An HTML editor converts basic typing into coded HTML. Unfortunately, they don't work great and can make a mess of your code, but it might be easier while you are getting started. Once you've done that make sure that you find the button in your text editor to toggle between text and HTML. I would suggest using the HTML code to write your descriptions and toggling back to see if it is displaying the way you expected. It's a good way to learn HTML, much easier than typing it in and trying to fix the code when the editor messes it up
