    Heya,

    iam ready to publish my first asset, noticed however that my preview shows all the description clumped together and unformatted rather than the formatting (paragraph spaces) that ive given it and can see when editing the text.

    is it just an error of the preview? and if not how can i actualy make sure the text will be formated and displayed the way i want.

    Thank you.

    furthermore, ive got a shortened link for my webplayer preview, will it be click-able if i add the url to the info text or do i have to do something with it ? - would also appreciate how i can tunr the URL into a clickable word rather than just the webadress

    example :

    Not sure about your second question. Please share if you find out how.

    I can confirm the preview page shows exactly how the end result will look on the final asset page.

    I wasn't happy with the limited format-ability of the asset info either, but worked it out.

    You can use HTML syntax in order to add newlines and links. To add a newline you use <br> and to add a link <a href="mylink">text</a>. The preview that it shows is true to how your description will look.

    Sorry - it's been awhile since I submitted my last asset, but I remember cussing under my breath at that particular spot in the process.
    I think I may have done my write up in word or notepad then pasted it in for the final (OK good enough) version. :)

    Hey opsive - thanks for the info. I'll have to remember that.
