Formating the description text

[+Cunigunda]

Can I format the description text? I would like to give a link to an English translation of the descriptions.

Hello @Cunigunda, 
 

During this experimental phase of Adventure Lab, our web Builder and Adventure Lab app do not support formatting (example: HTML). We look forward to expanding our efforts and appreciate you creating an Adventure!
Cheers,

Can't even add line breaks / carriage returns to create more than one big mess of a paragraph out of the description text.

If not <br>, can we at least honor normal line breaks done with the return key so that we can at least get a paragraph and perhaps a line break between them?

I'm going to have to switch my description back to a paragraph instead of a list. I thought a list would look nicer, but the program does not support line breaks either.  Edit: I was wrong.  My line breaks are honored!

☹️

Please explain how your line breaks were inserted to make them work.

You can see the mess I got here >> https://labs.geocaching.com/goto/Longmont

It hasn't gone 'live' yet (waiting for bonus cache to publish), so I still have time to clean it up!

DRATS!!! It looks right on the AL building page, but I was looking at the WRONG thing. When I use the link in a geocache, and look at it there, it's all smooshed together.

I'm so sorry. We were talking about two different page results. Now I do need to make corrections, as my list is now just one big smooshed paragraph. It looks terrible that way!
So sorry, ecanderson.

I agree with you: at the very least, line breaks would be helpful!

Rats.  I had hoped you had discovered the magic decoder ring for line breaks.

Yes, things can look perfect on the builder page, but look like absolute crap on the actual listing page.

If anyone comes up with any ideas, I'm all ears.  I noted the earlier request for HTML line breaks <br> or whatever, and the response was that they didn't have a plan for HTML in the content yet, but that doesn't excuse the lack of regular CR/LF or whatever line breaks to at least provide some line/paragraph separation.

Actually, it turns out that it looks just fine IN THE APP.  The one web preview is misleading.

You're right! I changed mine back to a list and it looks perfect on the app.

Had a few finds today after launching it -- now wondering how you see how it has been being rated.  I can see the leaderboard page, but the downloaded stats don't provide that information, either.

 

[+ecanderson]

Any idea on the above ^^^ ?  I have no idea what anyone thinks of what / how the AL was presented.

 

Never mind.  Just discovered "Activity Log".  Derp.

Well, never mind the never mind.  I can see comments, but no record of * ratings either identifiable or in the aggregate.
