Category description in main page not rendering line breaks

Product Support

AI-generated summary

lisandro_iaffar reported an issue where line breaks in category descriptions are not rendered correctly on the main page, though they display properly within the category itself. To work around this, lisandro_iaffar suggests using HTML entities like &nbsp; and <br> to force line breaks. For mobile compatibility, adding extra spaces between &nbsp; entities helps ensure proper rendering. An example provided shows how to structure the text to achieve consistent display across devices, including links and formatted elements like <mark> and bold text. This workaround effectively mimics line breaks where native Markdown or HTML line breaks fail on the main page.

Hello!!

I’m sorry, I have been struggling with this for days now and I have been unable to find a solution: do any one knows how to get line breaks rendered in the description of a category in the main page?

It does renders correctly once you are in that category:

But it’s shown as a single string, without line breaks, en the main page:

Any hint would be much appreciated!!

Hello!! There is a workaround for this. I can not edit the topic so I’m writing here. You can use the following structure:

this&nbsp;is&nbsp;some&nbsp;text<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>this&nbsp;is&nbsp;some&nbsp;other&nbsp;text

The &nbsp; between the <br> will push the following text below the first one.

To deal with the mobile app rendering, just put spaces between the &nbsp;, like &nbsp; &nbsp;, wherever you need the text to break, and add new spaces between the <br> tags to make sure it pushes everything to the next line.

As an example, the following text renders perfectly in the pc as in the phone:

Ciudadanos apasionados por las ideas de la Libertad con la convicción de que la República Argentina puede, debe, y va a ser un lugar mejor, si trabajamos todos Unidos.</br>&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;<br /><mark>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;¿Qué&nbsp;es&nbsp;UNI2?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;¿Quiénes&nbsp;Somos? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Propuestas&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[**Afiliación**](https://foro.enunionylibertad.com/t/formulario-de-pre-afiliacion/92)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bases&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Redes&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</mark><br><br>ig&nbsp;[uni2cba](https://instagram.com/uni2cba?utm_medium=copy_link)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tw&nbsp;[uni2cordoba](https://twitter.com/Uni2Cordoba?s=09)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; fc&nbsp;[uni2.cordoba](https://www.facebook.com/uni2.cordoba/)<br>
