Quick Guide to Using Formatting Tags

You can use HTML tags (markup) to modify and control formatting in ingredient and blend names. Place tags directly in the name field.

  • Italics – useful for Latin names, e.g. <i>Crataegus laevigata<i> renders as Crataegus laevigata
  • Bold – To add emphasis <b>i am bold text</b>
  • Add a line break <br> to control formatting, e.g. hawthorn <br>Crataegus laevigata (leaf) splits onto second line at <br>
  • Insert non-breaking spaces &nbsp; to keep text together, e.g. hawthorn&nbsp;Crataegus&nbsp;laevigata&nbsp;(leaf) all on one line
  • Superscript and subscript <sup> and <sub> – e.g. Water (H<sub>2</sub>O) or Amla (fruit) extract<sup>**</sup>
  • HTML entities (special characters) are always terminated by ;
    • &trade; &copy; and &reg; for trademarks – e.g. Patented ingredient&trade; or My Proprietary Blend&reg;
    • < (less than) – &lt;
    • > (greater than) – &gt;
    • é – &eacute;
    • Degrees – &deg;
    • β – e.g. &beta;-carotene
    • Fraction – e.g. &half; ½
    • More for geeks
  • For security, most other tags will be removed.

NOTE: Don’t forget to close tags, e.g. </i>, </b> or the effect may be unpredictable!
