Best practice for short and long topic descriptions

But what about a more in depth description? should I add that as a second post in the description topic so that it doesn’t appear in the preview?

I believe that preview includes just the first paragraph or something. Have you tried putting all of the text there? (The likelihood that anyone will read it will remain very low regardless of where you put it. )
