HTML formatting in my product listings

I have formatting for item's description which works only on the "product page". How can I make it available for other pages (list all products, list new poroducts, category list ets.)?

Re: HTML formatting in my product listings

What you have is a new field (short description), not a format. Your other thread (Add field (short desc.) to All Listing Products) has relevant information on the problem.

What you need is probably a way for the all products listing to retrieve that field from the database.

Unless you have abandoned the short description mod and want to show the main description or part of it with HTML formatting on the all listing page. That would be an easy fix.

My short desc is working O.K. now. (and yes I gave up to include it in the other listings) so now I am really talking about the main description.. and thus I am looking for that "easy fix??" So if you could point me there... please

These threads have information on the subject:
Matching product_info_display and product_listing
cutting product descriptions manually (for listings)
Customizing Product Description Text Formatting on Category Page

Thank you! Works well on Category listing... but I did not find such for "listing all and listing new", but I keep looking.
Happy New Year!
