Use of HTML markup in descriptions of products and categories

When using HTML tags to apply visual formatting to descriptions of products and categories or info pages, adhere to the following guidelines:

  1. Opening HTML tags which require a closing tag must be closed; e.g., <span></span> and <div></div>.
  2. For complex elements (e.g., tables or lists) all required tags must be specified:
    • for tables tag <table></table> must be used together with <tr></tr> and <td></td>;
    • for lists tags <ul></ul> or <ol></ol> must be used together with the <li></li> tags.

Failure to follow the above recommendations may result in incorrect displaying of the storefront pages where such HTML code is used.

Tips on finding incorrect HTML code

  1. If storefront design is incorrectly displayed on a product detailed information page or on an info page, then incorrect HTML code is contained in the detailed description of that product or in the text of the specific info page.
  2. If storefront design is incorrectly displayed on product category listing pages, then incorrect HTML code is contained either in brief product descriptions in those categories or (also) in category descriptions.

    Tip: For convenient search for incorrect HTML code in category or product descriptions export the desired product category to a CSV file (in backend section "Products -> Export") and view its contents using an electronic table editor such as MS Excel or OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc.
