If you are reasonably comfortable using computers, it is possible to format the descriptive text in your web listing to make it easier to read or to highlight certain phrases.

1. Add a line return

<br> will force the text after this command onto the following line

<br><br> will add any number of spare lines

2. Paragraph

<p> text following this command will start a new paragraph

3. Bold

<b> add this command at the start of the text you want in bold

</b>add this command at the end of the text you want in bold i.e. turn off the command

4. Italic

<i> add this command at the start of the text you want in bold

</i> add this command at the end of the text you want in bold i.e. turn off the command

5. Underline

<u> add this command at the start of the text you want in bold

</u> add this command at the end of the text you want in bold i.e. turn off the command

A final note of caution.  Judicious use of the above commands can really enhance the appearance of your listing.  However, overuse can make your listing too 'busy', so preview any changes you make carefully before updating your listing.
