Description

The text entered here will display as the glossary description or definition in the Glossary section on the Help screen.  The editor allows the user to apply formatting to the text, and provide HTML to manipulate the display.  There is no character limit.

The best practice for using this editor is to type your text directly into the editor, and then format it using the tools provided.  Or, type the text into Notepad, and then copy and paste the text into the editor.  If you copy the text from another editor, you should copy as plain text or you may find that the formatting is copied from the editor and displays in an unexpected manner.
