How to Create an HTML Description

Step 1: Start with a Description on a Word Doc

• 1. Open the description.

  2. Verify that you understand it.

  3. Make sure it's not longer than 1700 Characters (Amazon's Limit for Description).

NOTE! —

You can count characters easily in wordcounter.net.

Step 2: Go to Online HTML Editor

Open your browser and go to https://www.onlinehtmleditor.net.

The Online HTML Editor is an online editor that shows you the result in real time, as you type.

It includes 2 text areas -

• • Top one is the source code (input)

• Bottom one is the preview (output).

Above the top one there's the user interface with the common HTML tags.

Note! —

We will only use the tags <BR>, <STRONG>, <B>, <I>.

Amazon does not allow other HTML tags.

Step 3: Copy the Description Text to the Editor

Paste your it in the Source Code Section (Top).

Step 5: Create the HTML Code

To make sure your HTML result looks as the Word, work in the following order.

FIRST — ADD LINE BREAKS

• 1. Use <br> tags in the end of lines to create line breaks, until the line spacing looks like similar to your word document.

1. To create a new paragraph, or a larger space use double tags <br><br>.

NEXT — APPLY BOLD STYLE

Highlight each word or phrase that you want to bold and click on the the B button in the interface.

NEXT — APPLY ITALIC STYLE

• 1. In the beginning of each word or phrase that you want to italicize place <em> tag.

  2. In the end of each word or phrase that you want to italicize place </em> tag.

NEXT — ADD BULLETS ICONS

We normally use this star icon -> ✪

You can copy the icon and replace all the bullets with it, or find a different and presentable text one.

Step 6: Create a new HTML file.

The file can have one of 2 suffix:

• • .txt

  • .html

If the suffix is .html the file will be clickable and the HTML will display in your browser.

Step 7: Copy the Code to your HTML file

• 1. Copy the Source Code from the source code textbox.

1. Paste it in the new .html file.

2. Save the file.
