Textile Markup Language
Some of the item data fields that are on the SKU and SKU Detail listings are HTML compatible, including Web Description. If you're not comfortable using HTML, you can also use a simpler markup language called Textile. Textile allows you to format the display of your item data just like HTML would but is generally easier to work with for basic text formatting.
Enabling Textile
Contact Aldrich Web Solutions to enable the use of Textile for the applicable fields on your site. Below are a few examples you might find useful. You can find a full guide for Textile markup language here.
Bulleted List
To make the data in your field into a bulleted list in Textile, just use asterisks. So for instance, this:
* Item A
* Item B
* Item C
would look like this on the site:
- Item A
- Item B
- Item C
Numbered List
You can use number signs for numbered lists, this:
# Item A
# Item B
# Item C
will translate to this:
- Item A
- Item B
- Item C
Bold Text
To bold text, simply surround it with asterisks:
**this**
will translate to this:
this
Coloring Text
Coloring text:
%{color:red}this%
will translate to:
this
Underline Text
To underline text, surround the text with plus signs:
+text+
will show as this:
text
Italics
For italics, use 2 underscores on either side of the term, like this:
__text__
will translate to this:
text
Other Textile Markup
The above items are some of the more common formatting you might want to use on your item data, but Textile offers quite a bit of other functionality as well. You can find a full guide for Textile markup language here.
