new text(area) for product info

I've looked but can't seem to find the answer.
I need to be able to put additional info for my products on the info page that do not show up on the products listing page. I've tried different things but nothing seems to work without bloating attributes. Beside the fact that it would take forever to input an attribute for ever configuration.

Each product has 3 sizes (priced by size), 2 colors and a engravable area(this is what I need the text area for)
Of course all the products variables are all unique.

I did put a table in the Product description and it looks nice but the table looses it's format in the products Category listing page.

I need a table something like quantity discount table. (even tried that but it won't take text).

Any ideas? Here is a sample of product info

Order # Product Name Product Description Weight Engravable Area Single Blank MSRP
2300-G Flame 3/8"T x 5"W x 7"H - Green 1.50 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" $16.15 $65.00
2301-G Flame 3/8"T x 6"W x 8"H - Green 1.92 3 1/4" x 4 3/4" $18.20 $73.00
2302-G Flame 3/8"T x 7"W x 9"H - Green 2.26 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" $24.15 $97.00
2300-B Flame 3/8"T x 5"W x 7"H - Black 1.50 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" $16.15 $65.00
2301-B Flame 3/8"T x 6"W x 8"H - Black 1.92 3 1/4" x 4 3/4" $18.20 $73.00
2302-B Flame 3/8"T x 7"W x 9"H - Black 2.26 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" $24.15 $97.00

Re: new text(area) for product info

It is possible to enable HTML in product listing pages, or to have different text in listing and info pages, or to cut the description at a selected point when in the listing page.

All these have been discussed here with code examples; you should be able to find them with a search. Post again if you need more help.

Thanks, I did find part of the answer.
I guess there are 100's a ways to ask the same question.

You say there is ways to have different text in listing and info pages?

Re: new text(area) for product info

Attributes have TEXTAREA available if you set the ROWS ...

Create the Option Name for a TEXT option type like normal ... but then EDIT that Option Name for the additional settings, as indicated on the Option Names Manager ...

NOTE: Edit Product Options Name for additional settings
