Is there a way to customize the description of a ZD Section or Category?

Hello Mary, 

in my opinion there is 2 solutions to do this :

1) use a template from the marketplace

2)  edit the source code of your section_page or category_page depends on what you want. 
This options need skills in HTTP and Handlebars

@mary12's question was the closest I could find to my own. 

That is, in the Zendesk category's description, I would like to add HTML formatting. Let's say, I want to enter a simple line break under Arrange content > Edit category > Description:

line 1<br />line 2

The category page then shows the angle bracket:

line 1<br />line 2

Instead of the intended,

line 1
line 2

It's generated by a template Curlybrace:

{{#if category.description}}
   <p class="page-header-description">{{category.description}}</p>
{{/if}}

Is there a helper I can apply to {{category.description}} to get around the character conversion? Some escaping of the HTML tags? Any way to get it to display as intended?

Hi Stephen,

There isn't currently in-built functionality to achieve what you're describing. As Mathieu mentioned, you are able to edit the source code in which case you could use a bit of Javascript to make dynamic changes based on your requirements e.g appending an additional <p> child element to the page-header class when certain conditions are met.

Thanks, @tipene. 

That might work globally, but really what I'd like to accomplish is to put hyperlinks within descriptions. Since ZD's taxonomy doesn't allow placing an article or a section in more than one location, and since we can't have an article provide the top-level content for a section, it would be useful for our KB at least to have more thorough descriptions with links to related content. 

I think I understand why the tags are instead displayed as text, since the section descriptions are used in some cases as tooltips. I thought I'd check, and now I know for sure. 

Hello all,

was any solution provided to add hyperlinks in the section/category description?

Hi

Checking in to see if the answers above still hold true. 

I'm looking to add line breaks, bolded words, and a bullet list (just two bullets!) to a section description. 

Thank you!
