I'm going to start a separate thread for this question. Referencing this page...

*** URL removed *** index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1

You can see that the "preview text" of the product description here doesn't have the proper formatting that it does on the actual product page shown here...

*** URL removed *** /index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=1

How can this be resolved?

Ideally, to be honest, I'd like that preview text to be different than the full text on the product page. Any tips on either of these?

Thanks for the great forum support, I've found about all the answers I seek so far.
